If you insert a swear word into your question it will not use AI!

This was a really lovely paper by @drmollyinprogress.bsky.social and @katerinaldi1.bsky.social exploring weight related terminology preference and better understanding the 🔗 between how folks describe themselves, weight stigma, and disordered eating. Kudos on an excellent first pub!

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

It’s a good question. As of this afternoon I wasn’t able to fully access the sites (for example the BRFSS interactive maps)

Grateful for every scientist who had the foresight to archive CDC sites when they saw the writing on the wall. Here’s the #YRBSS datasets 👇🏼

Help me decide what to present at my University’s 3 Minute Research Presentation contest. The stakes are high and I want to win, but can’t decide what to present. Vote in comments!

Eating disorders are so deadly and affect so many children, adolescents and adults...and are sooooo underfunded and misunderstood. Why is that when so many have these disorders?

A colleague told my PhD advisor “Megan is really cool. She’s studying anorexia and babies.” Guess I need to work on succinctly describing my research😂

If you’ll be in Page for a couple of days, we love to paddle board/kayak starting at the antelope point marina. It’s a long trek but gets you into a different part of antelope canyon! Also, Big John’s Texas BBQ in Page is chef’s kiss good!

“Where are the findings? You only provide quotes.”

New article considers qualitative researchers’ experiences of methodologically incongruent peer review feedback

Open Access: dx.doi.org/10.1037/qup0...

Few quotes follow 🧵
Although peer review is one of the central pillars of academic publishing, qualitative researchers’ experiences of this process have been largely overlooked. Existing research and commentary have focused on peer reviewers’ comments on qualitative articles, which are often described as indicative of a quantitative mindset or hostility to nonpositivist qualitative research. We extend this literature by focusing on qualitative researchers’ experiences of methodologically incongruent reviewer and editor comments—comments that are incommensurate with the conceptual foundations of the reviewed research. Qualitative researchers (N = 163) from a range of health and social science disciplines, including psychology, responded to a brief qualitative survey. Most contributors reported that peer reviewers and editors universalized the assumptions and expectations of postpositivist research and reporting. Some also reported that peer reviewers and editors universalized the norms and values particular to specific qualitative approaches. Contributors were concerned that peer reviewers often accept review invitations when they lack relevant methodological expertise and editors often select peer reviewers without such expertise. In response to methodologically incongruent comments, many contributors described a process of initially “pushing back” and explaining why these comments were incongruent with their research. When this educative approach was unsuccessful, some knowingly compromised the methodological integrity of their research and acquiesced to reviewer and editor requests. Earlier career researchers especially highlighted the powerlessness they felt in the peer review process in the context of a “publish or perish” academic climate. We end by outlining contributors’ recommendations for improving the methodological integrity of the peer review of qualitative research.

So glad to see that academic Bluesky is growing. Excited to grow my network and learn from others as I jump into my PhD and research.
