We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.

Turns out the 20mph limit was great idea!

Two years on from the controversial policy, it's becoming increasingly clear that the doubters were wrong

Incredible work on paper mills. I really wonder what happened to the cluster of fraudulent editors/authors at PLOSone in the lower right corner? Were there any real repercussions or are they still milling around?

Reese Richardson @reeserichardson.bsky.social · Aug 4

In our article, we demonstrate through a series of vignettes that…

1. Editors abuse their positions of authority to collude with authors to publish problematic articles en masse.

$Evidence of coordination between editors and authors for the publication of fraudulent science in PLOS ONE. ublication interactions among individuals flagged for retractions and/or PubPeer comments. We show every individual as a circle whose size is proportional to the number of accepted articles that they handled as editor (range of 1 to 852 articles). The black wedge inside the circle indicates the fraction of that editor’s accepted articles which were later retracted. Individuals flagged for retractions alone have a red boundary, individuals flagged for PubPeer comments alone have a blue boundary, and individuals flagged for both have a purple boundary. The individuals are connected by arrows that point from author to editor, with the width of each arrow proportional to the total number of articles for which that editor served for that author (range of 1 to 10 articles). Flagged individuals frequently handled each other’s submissions to PLOS ONE, especially within a group of editors serving from 2020 to 2023 (cluster on the Lower Right).$

Why do measures of putatively the same construct so often fail to correlate strongly across units of analysis (self/informant report, behavioral, physiological/neural): measurement problems or truly actually capturing different constructs (or some of both)?
