- Math is hard
- Shige Oishi just dropped by my office with his new book Life in Three Dimensions—and I’m excited to dive in! Shige’s been challenging us to think beyond the pursuit of happiness. What about meaning? What about a psychologically rich life? Turns out, there’s more to life than just feeling good
- The Onion jokes that RFK Jr. wants measles deaths so common people stop caring. Funny—but also how our brains work. When a crisis affects many, people assume it’s less harmful. The logic? If it’s everywhere, surely someone’s handling it. Spoiler: They’re not. theonion.com/rfk-jr-vows-...
- 🚨 Is the peer review system broken? Our new PNAS paper dives into the biases, inefficiencies, and inconsistencies plaguing scientific publishing. Can transparency, training, and AI fix it? Evolution or revolution for peer review? 🔗 Read more: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @balazsaczel.bsky.social
- 🚨 New Paper Alert! 🚨 How should scientists decide what to replicate & how? Our latest article explores: 🔍 Book of Truths vs. Book of Conversations – What's the purpose of replication? 📊 Balancing epistemic values, public trust & transparency. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @clintin.bsky.social
- 📢 Academic publishing should serve knowledge, not profits. But commercial publishers exploit the system—leveraging unpaid labor, imposing paywalls, and charging high fees. 🚧 We explore alternative models & reforms to realign publishing with academia’s true mission. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
- Which scientific results should be replicated? Our new PNAS suggests the decision depends on whether you subscribe to “the book of truth” or “book of conversation” @pnas.org @clintin.bsky.social
- Now out in PNAS, we provide a conceptual framework for assessing replication decisions and replication reform. Do you view the scientific literature as a "book of truths" or a "book of conversations"? www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1... #philsci #science #SciSci #Metascience
- Just because something is common doesn’t mean it won’t cause you harm. Thank you @nytimes.com and Peter coy for writing about our research. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/o...
