Only one of these two is what you are paid for by the tax payer, so that should be relatively simple 😏

I went to Rotterdam for a reproducibility therapy session with @lakens.bsky.social. I am happy to report that the patient is doing much better—maybe due to a placebo effect. Who knows.

Doing the right thing, just because it is the right thing is underappreciated by academics.

People sometimes say they do not have time to do open science. But they can use the time they would have needed 40 years ago to send and request paper copies of articles to read the literature.

Somehow we never acknowledge where we gained time that we can invest in open science.

People kept buying incandescent light bulbs, even though LED lights were better for the environment and cheaper in the long run. But incandescent light were cheap in the short term. In the end, the EU had to ban incandescent lights.

The adoption of Open Science works same.

I love the idea that we’ll see change in clinical psych re: open science adoption when the messaging tone changes. lol.

Why not my 2 part overview, showing it in historical context?

I think it will make it clear to readers this is a longstanding serious and systemic problem.

Really nice example if you want to explain why statistical significance does not equal practical significance.
N = 200,000, effect size r = .05. Good enough to support the null-hypothesis with equivalence testing. @lakens.bsky.social

I have updated the blog post with a long reply y Andrew Gelman, in which he clarifies he still recommends the regular use of Type S and M errors. daniellakens.blogspot.com/2025/09/type... This makes our preprint criticising Type S and M errors all the more important.

I am really looking forward to having so many excellent meta-scientists over for the Paul Meehl Graduate School symposium. It looks like this year will be even more fun than last, with interesting talks and lots of opportunity to network.
