With this level of productivity, I'll be appointed supreme commander of science for sure. Heck, go ahead and sign me up for 30 articles in 6 months.

New research by Pierre Azoulay, Danielle Li, Bhaven Sampat and me.

Earlier this year, the President’s budget proposed a 40% cut to the budget of the NIH. This motivated us to ask: what if the NIH had been 40% smaller?

We have just concluded the all-team retreat for COS. As a fully remote team, this opportunity to connect and strengthen relationships is the most important event of the year. It was an amazing week with an amazing team.

I am getting a lot out of this exchange about p-curve -- both on the substance of the debate, and on different approaches to thinking about it. Thanks to Uri and Richard for such an interesting back-and-forth.

Richard D. Morey @richarddmorey.bsky.social · 13d

Simonsohn has now posted a blog response to our recent paper about the poor statistical properties of the P curve. @clintin.bsky.social and I are finishing up a less-technical paper that will serve as a response. But I wanted to address a meta-issue *around* this that may clarify some things. 1/x

Zombie movie idea. Infection symptoms are highly heterogeneous: from becoming mildly irritable to going full zombie and from lasting a few days to persisting. Little clarity about time course for any given case. Psychological drama.

Am I the only person who forgot that academia.edu existed until it came up in several posts during the last few days about its updated terms and conditions?

Melanie Richter-Montpetit @mellimo.bsky.social · 18d

Academia.edu is changing its Terms and Conditions, and they're so outrageous (AI training; signing over ownership to them etc) I closed my account today.
