How did you build your writing practice/habit while in grad school? I get better as I write more frequently, but early-stage grad school comes with long stretches of reading & frantic note taking, not producing things for external consumption! #philsky #PhDsky
Saw an interesting thread from a well-known data sleuth yesterday. He was claiming that fraud was the primary reason for "replication crisis" and that it's very widespread in science. Now that's a view I never held myself which kinda explains why we diverge on many other matters of science too 1/N
In this thought-provoking article, Ting and Montgomery (2023) consider “researchers’ strategies for coping with vagaries in social science experiments.”

I didn't know that we have autograph material of Maimonides's Guide for the Perplexed--so cool! (Written in classical Arabic, using the Hebrew alphabet)

picture of a medieval seal showing a phallus and testes (?? why??)
My daughter, a history major student, works on a digital humanities project that digitizes seals. Your personal seal expresses something about you (identity, personality etc). So what to make of this medieval dick pick? The phallus is the main iconographic element. Fascinating.
Looking forward to returning to work in the UK soon! 😱

This tells me that I apparently edit far more intensely / repetitively than some others. Currently on draft four of an article! Hard to imagine letting a howler like this by even if I were using GPT to draft parts of something.

Very good, indeed. Although Henrich et al. were clear in 2010: non-WEIRD isn’t a thing. But nonetheless…much of social science continues problematic essentialism of broad cross-sections of human cultural diversity.
We tried to make a similar point :

Such an interesting question! You inspired me to seek out this paper, which asked why some psychology departments rebrand themselves as departments of “psychological science.”
“There is already so much written out there, and I don't think I'd be happier […] if I aimed for (more) efficiency.” Insightful reflection by @helenreflects.bsky.social. I’ll take the idea that the world doesn’t need more more more from us but could use our best & most enjoyable writing! #PhDsky
I am fascinated by this piece, about the (alleged) faking of data with studies on embodied cognition by Gino and Ariely.
It's really worthwhile reading this as it is a meditation on psychology as a discipline, and notably that if lots of research proves fake, nothing much changes. 1/
You're a mid-adopter, def not late. Bluesky is still beta, hence the invites.
Speaking of which, we've got donated invites for Medtwitter ppl so feel free to DM me on Twitter (or IG if you've left) if you've got friends interested in being here

The MedSky feed can also be tagged with the 🩺 and ⚕️emojis.
And "medtwitter" has been removed as a tag.
You'll need to create a feed for ObGynSky. These aren't hashtags like on Twitter. These are curated feeds or lists of posts by topic.
Screenshot of the description of the Medsky Feed "welcome to Medsky, a place for the medical community tonget together & exchange ideas. To shiw uo in thecfeed, add" Medsky", "Medtwitter" or one of the following emojis to your post: 🩺⚕️
Not so fast...pretty sure @rabbitholer.bsky.social only removed Medtwitter from the title to save space. It's still a tag word for the feed
You're right - just updated the sheet (again!) 😊
Unfortunately, BlueSky doesn't have bookmarks yet. The best you can do is save the link to the post somewhere (e.g., a Word doc).
Here's the link: bsky.app/profile/mark...
Stupid question: how can I bookmark that post to keep it someplace for later reference?
While it's exciting & the goal to see new ppl & have more activity, we may look back at this time in some ways as
"These are the good old days"🎶🎵🎼
@cclaremdmph.bsky.social
There are 10 in the thread.
One of them says you need to add a username when you are on someone's profile page, trying to send them a post. Twitter auto-adds their username. It didn't here until last week when we got an app update.

This is why some of us remain on Twitter.
It's why we continue to report & not simply block.
This is why some of us stay active there despite the racists, antisemitics, antiscience, antiLGBTQ ppl.
I'm running a session on time management for academics that have a heavy teaching load. Emails, teaching prep, admin, marking, supervising lots of projects students, & research - what are you tips, tricks, strategies, and tools you use to keep on top of it all?
