A workshop of the MLTC Cross- Collaboration programme suggests three challenge themes in research :
journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/

Wired:
Transparency, standardisation, reproducibility of multimorbidity research made the list!

Tired:
Bullet points in figure 1 have more detail on building methodological capacity than the text. Investing in methodologists (of any kind) is not part mentioned as far as I can see.

Comments from early career researchers (#ECRs) on how Trump policies affect them:
technologyreview.com/2025/09/0

"Several had waited months for news on an application’s status or updates on when funds they had already won would be disbursed."

"One respondent, whose work focuses on fighting child sexual abuse materials, recalled rewriting a grant abstract '3x to remove words banned' by Senator Ted Cruz."

"As an academic, we have to be very careful about how we voice our personal opinion because it will impact the entire university if there is retaliation.”

"Four respondents said they were worried about their own immigration status, while 16 expressed concerns about their ability to attract or retain talent, including international students."

While provides substantial opportunities for researchers in , this paper highlights core global barriers and inequities

It is also a good general introduction into OS!

It is important to recognise that current OS practices may not suit local contexts in given how strongly they have been shaped (so far!) by researchers in . There is ample opportunity for to learn and improve practices from this dialogue!

Having continuously harrowing conversations with about the criteria used for hiring and promotion decisions, let's enter the new record-breaking cat by citations:

"In 1975, theoretical physicist Jack Hetherington added his Siamese to one of his single-author papers so the references to “we” would make more sense." (107 citations)

Enter Larry:
With 12 fake papers citing each other and 132 scraped citations on GScholar, he is now the record holder

It is always good see colleagues on our "whole school days", which bring a lot of perspectives across all our activities together.

I enjoyed @lmarryat.bsky.social presentation on what @ukri.org Future Leaders Fellowships are, and sharing details about her career and research trajectory up to this point.

I really enjoyed participating in and presenting at the Summer Course 2025 of the Brain and Behavioral Sciences doctoral program at @unibern

I have written two brief summaries, one about the overall programme

Summer Course 2025
The fourth edition of our Summer Course, “Contemporary Evaluation of Interventions: Mobile, Digital, and Pragmatic”, took place from June 3-5, 2025. The three-day event featured a dynamic program including presentations, interactive workshops, poster session, networking opportunities, a career insights session, and a focus on open science - plus plenty of good moments along the way! We were thrilled to welcome 21 Ph.D. students from various Swiss universities and disciplines. Their active participation, collaboration, and enthusiasm played a key role in making the course a success.

For example: Thinking about getting into randomised studies of psychotherapeutic interventions? 👇

Conference abstract for a workshop:

A primer for planning randomised studies of psychotherapeutic interventions
Jan R. Boehnke
Pre-conference workshop at the 56th International Annual Meeting of the Society for Psychotherapy Research

Studies involving randomisation are an integral part of strategies for the evaluation of (causal) effects of therapeutic strategies and interventions. This workshop will present the key elements and practical steps for planning, developing, conducting, and reporting randomised studies of psychological interventions. The core logic and statistical arguments for an experimental study of a psychological intervention will be briefly revisited to clarify when an experimental study (and which type of such a study) is indicated. The main part of the workshop will focus on how to plan, design, and report such a study, including formal requirements to conduct a high quality study (e.g., trial registrations, ethical requirements). We will discuss the use of international guidelines as well as how and when to prepare protocols, statistical analysis plans, and/or registered reports. The workshop is built around the experience from multiple published trials by the presenter and is planned for Q&A phases to tailor the content to the audience. The aim of the workshop is to provide participants with the tools to assess published randomised studies of psycho-social interventions and the steps and resources needed to develop their own study.

Just released: a spotLights episode with Giulia Paci! ⭐

We discuss her recent preprint on 3D single-cell imaging in live tissues, what it took to get there, and how preprinting supports #OpenScience & #ECRs.

Catch her at #DevPres tomorrow! @Dev_journal
