Genes de colores #lecturasMV La desaparición de Next Door fue una verdadera pérdida para la divulgación científica en castellano. Durante la liquidación, me hice con un ejemplar del libro de Montoliu, que he disfrutado enormemente. Mi capítulo favorito, el de las manchas tricolor de las gatas.

There is no reason why systematic reviews can't be open. The data used for synthesis is *already* open and there are many excellent open source tools that can facilitate the easy sharing of analysis scripts.

Here's a nice guide for performing open systematic reviews doi.org/10.1525/coll...
This paper provides guidance and tools for conducting open and reproducible systematic reviews in psychology. It emphasizes the importance of systematic reviews for evidence-based decision-making and the growing adoption of open science practices. Open science enhances transparency, reproducibility, and minimizes bias in systematic reviews by sharing data, materials, and code. It also fosters collaborations and enables involvement of non-academic stakeholders. The paper is designed for beginners, offering accessible guidance to navigate the many standards and resources that may not obviously align with specific areas of psychology. It covers systematic review conduct standards, pre-registration, registered reports, reporting standards, and open data, materials and code. The paper is concluded with a glimpse of recent innovations like Community Augmented Meta-Analysis and independent reproducibility checks.

Un científico en el armario #lecturasMV Aunque la portada parece prometer una biografía de Pío del Río Hortega, se trata en realidad de una crónica de las diferentes figuras que contribuyeron a la neurociencia española de principios del sXX, primero a la sombra de Cajal y luego en el exilio.

Just for the record, new preprint out! In a project led by the wonderful @aliciafrancomnez.bsky.social (w/ Alicia Ferrer-Mendieta, Carmen Peiro-Lanchares, and @mavadillo.bsky.social), we test how different manipulations affect the response validity of the Perceptual Awareness Scale (PAS).

"Basic scientists consistently enhance scientific output quality, yet research and newly joining researchers have shifted toward applied orientations."

Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2509.01530

#PhilSci #MetaSci #AcademicSky 🧪
Despite broad acclaim for basic research, science is undergoing an applied shift that marginalizes basic scientists. This gap reflects an incomplete understanding of their distinctive roles, which prevents translating philosophical appreciation into effective support. We introduce a scalable metric--the application score--to position research along the basic-applied spectrum and apply it to 62 million publications (1970-2023) to reveal the distinctive contributions of basic scientists. We find a structural asymmetry: involvement of basic scientists substantially increases citation impact, even more so in applied contexts, while applied scientists show no such effect in basic domains. This asymmetric effect arises from their intellectual leadership in conceptualization, writing, and experimental design, amplified in large, multidisciplinary, and intermediate career teams. Yet basic scientists remain concentrated in historically prestigious institutions, while new entrants shift toward applied work, indicating critical undersupply. These findings provide large-scale evidence for the indispensable role of basic scientists, guiding policy and institutional strategy to sustain the foundations of discovery and innovation.

Ser científico #lecturasMV Una lectura fundamental para universitarios que estén valorando dedicarse profesionalmente a la investigación. Sin ocultar su entusiasmo por la ciencia, Montoliu ofrece una panorámica realista de las luces y las sombras de esta profesión, desde el grado hasta la jubilación

Mythos #lecturasMV Aunque lo cogí con ganas, el remake de Stephen Fry me ha resultado pesado y ha terminado aburriéndome. Con todo, guardaré buen recuerdo de algunos relatos, muy especialmente de Amor y Psique.
