@profgaelle We tell people they can't participate unless they agree to share publicly, for run of the mill studies. So that is for the future. For this case, it does not matter either way, but I would analyze it with and without, see if it does not matter, and report the reproducible analysis

I'm back to listening to @NulliusInVerba on my way to the lab... undeniably, my favorite science podcast by all respects.

@EvoMRI @renebekkers @ElenLeFoll I got the following response this mornign from Liz Guzman-Ramirez, in charge of this:

I just read this 👆very cool! This is exactly what we need to do as well, so it would be super cool to collaborate with them

So, I think we should move this over to email :)

@renebekkers @ElenLeFoll @EvoMRI If the study is published, we can think of making more open, but after approval (so during peer review) you will have some info.

@renebekkers @ElenLeFoll @EvoMRI We are actually implementing this. So next year we will have a public database of erb approved projects with some metadata.

@ElenLeFoll discussed this previously with @lakens and @EvoMRI - would be a good practice for ethics committees to put out at least some metadata for the reviews they provide

New prologue episode of Nullius In Verba. Smriti reads Medewar's 'Is the scientific paper a fraud?'. On induction, deduction, and where hypotheses come from.

We will discuss the paper (originally a talk) in our episode next week!

New 'Preliminary Report' submission format at Science and Medicine in Football. An idea that should be interesting for other journals! Explicitly make space for honestly reported smaller sample-size studies tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

@raphavisses also, I am from Rotterdam, it is a 3 hour trip, so if there is ever a good reason to come by, I do not mind a workday in the train with a nice social event in the middle :)

@raphavisses I will be back March 16, and give a talk at Nanterre. Maybe until there?

Went on a trip to Paris for the day, giving a talk at Université Paris Cité, saying hi to former lab visitor Ethan Meimoun, and we even had time to pick up gluten free goodies for my wife at Copains on the way!

My sister Karen wrote some funny-as-hell new lyrics to an old song by Overstreet & Higgins called There’ll be Some Changes Made (1959):

I want a new refrigerator
That can talk to my phone
Which orders me some take-out
That arrives by drone
My watch talks to my doctor
Sends her pulse and BP
I made my dating profile using ChatGPT!
My toothbrush tells my dentist any time I don’t floss
My hairbrush called the drug store for a cure hair loss!
'Cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray
There'll be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made

For there's a change in the fashion
Ask the trend-settin’ folks
But thank God Jimmy Kimmel is still telling his jokes
I must get off Facebook and into AI
Make myself an avatar that knows how to fly
I'm goin' to change my old gas-guzzler for a brand-new EV
Goin' to get a mani-pedi and some new lingerie
Cuz I must have some lovin' or I'll just fade away
There'll be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made today

New paper finds that selective reporting remains the most replicable finding in science: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/ I especially like their new exploratory metric 'p-values per participant'. Some papers had 11 p-values per participant! 🤯

Exciting new addition to the AsPredicted and ResearchBox research infrastructure toolbox: AsCollected ascollected.org/ A platform to document results provenance - where did data come from, who collected it, and who cleaned and analyzed it. So important!
