How can I tell if I am cut out to be a scientific research worker? (Peter B. Medawar). How smart does one need to be to be a scientist? Medawar weighs in with advice for young researchers. nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/prologus-1...

Our podcast @nulliusinverba.bsky.social consists of 60+ episodes on what science is, and what it could be. As Smriti and I are both passionate about learning, we also read out classic papers and chapters in our separate 'Prologue' episodes. We have 17 so far. Here's a list of all these episodes:

🚀 Our Replicability School kicked off Friday with a hands-on workshop by @marcald.bsky.social on practical tools for reproducible analyses 🔍📊
We also received warm greetings from two key figures for the week ahead, Giovanni Parmigiani (Harvard University) and Gianmarco Altoè 👋

Ever feel disappointed by a non-significant result?

You should ask yourself: Could my study have even detected an effect that matters?

A simple way to find out is by computing critical effect size values.

Went bouldering with Noah van Dongen and @cjvanlissa.bsky.social. Noah got a Veni grant this year, Caspar a Vidi, and I received a Vici, so we had to make this picture 😊 We will also work together in our projects on improving theorising in psychology!

Huge shoutout to our very own core team member @ambra-perugini.bsky.social for smashing the Three Minute Thesis competition at the University of Padua! 🎤⏳ With an engaging summary of her PhD thesis, Ambra sparked curiosity about the Overlapping Index and how to uncover the full story in our data 👏

The goal of direct replication studies is first of all to identify Type 1 or Type 2 errors in the literature. This is an important part of having a reliable scientific knowledge base. lakens.github.io/statistical_...
