I'm excited to share that the first paper of my PhD project is now published. In this paper, my coauthors, @lakens and Krist Vaesen, and I discuss a systematic approach from different stakeholders to improve coordination.

Although individualism and isolated work remain common in academia, coordination offers substantial benefits. This Comment calls on researchers, funders, policymakers, journals and universities to cre...

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.

This is in my opinion one of the best papers I have written. It moved preregistration from 'let's do it because it is good' to 'let's do it when we have this philosophy of science'. It still provides the most coherent argument for why to adopt it in the metascientific literature.

It's important to be able to go beyond statistical folklore and yesterday Jelle Goeman reminded us of that! Visiting from Leiden University, he shared an insightful view on correcting for multiple testing within the Bayesian framework. A real pleasure to hear and exchange ideas!
