Had a great, thought-provoking time sitting on the panel about how feminist research and metascience are aligned. Our big argument = metascience IS feminist. It’s asking fundamental questions about knowledge, power, and credibility. We just have never framed it like this explicitly #Metascience2025

It's crucial to keep calling out the #climate destruction driven by the wealthiest. We should remember, though, that those of us with privilege—though less—also need to change.

You may have heard of Questionable Research Practices and "HARKing" as threats to replicability.

In a new paper led by @sakshighai.bsky.social, we argue that a similar practices -- Questionable Generalizability Practices and "MASKing" -- undermine generalizability.

Do we have time for slow research? Led by Dr. Samia Akhter-Khan, our team delves into three crucial questions shaping the way we approach research in LMICs.

Communications Psychology @commspsychol.nature.com · Dec 20

Beginning to conduct psychological research in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is daunting. In this reflexive commentary, we raise three critical questions that researchers should ask themselves before conducting research in LMICs.
