What better way to end 2025 than getting our paper published in Global Environmental Change πŸ₯³πŸ’š

We studied perceptions of the feasibility of climate-relevant behavior change and how these perceptions connect to income differences and climate policy support.

Let me tell you all about itπŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

I was thrilled to have been invited by @sakshighai.bsky.social to speak to folk at LSE on Wednesday about methodological and inferential issues that have cropped up in social science attempts to study large language models!

Against Publishing: universonline.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Preprints are read, shared, and cited, yet still dismissed as incomplete until blessed by a publisher. I argue that the true measure of scholarship lies in open exchange, not in the industry’s gatekeeping of what counts as published.

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 privilegeβ€”though lessβ€”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.
