I would love to get some feedback/review on a small package I have created before sending it to CRAN. If anyone (familiar with factor models and causal inference) would be open to taking a look at it, please reach out to me.
For the Big Winter Roam this February I'm walking as far as I feasibly can to support @catsprotection.bsky.social. The work they do is incredible and very close to our heart. Please share and consider supporting as I try to cover 500+ miles this month!
Ok researchers rise and shine, it's groundhog day - what better way to get you up to date with what has been going on at the FORRT Replication Hub? forrt.org/replication-...

New paper out! We discuss breaking barriers towards credible research & share findings from our workshop at #BNA2025 on supporting ECRs in doing credible science🧠
Loved working with @josefinaw.bsky.social, Roni Tibon & Tobias Bast on this project!

What are the biggest barriers PhDs/ECRs are facing in doing credible research?
The outcomes of a workshop on this topic at #BNA2025 @britishneuro.bsky.social, co-authored with the amazing @rachelga.bsky.social, Tobias Bast & Roni Tibon are available here 😊: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Join us in Germany for a hackathon to make replication studies more visible!
Our @pci-regreports.bsky.social recommended study is now out in Cortex! doi.org/10.1016/j.co...
In 2024, Infant and Child Development (ICD) withdrew as a PCI RR-friendly journal and reneged on three Stage 1 recommendations issued by PCI RR. In addition, Wiley – the publisher of ICD – notified PCI RR and the PCI core team of its decision to withdraw all Wiley journals from PCI and PCI RR, including an additional 9 PCI-friendly journals. Finally, Wiley appears to have banned all of its ~1600 journals from considering submissions that have been previously reviewed by PCI or PCI RR. This statement explains the history of ICD joining PCI RR and developments that led to the current outcome. The PCI RR Managing Board believes that this shift in policy to become “PCI-hostile” renders Wiley journals incompatible not only with community-based preprint review but with preprint archiving in general.
NEW: Statement from the PCI RR Managing Board on the withdrawal of Infant and Child Development as a PCI RR-friendly journal, and the decision by Wiley to refuse preprints that have been peer-reviewed by @peercommunityin.bsky.social / @pci-regreports.bsky.social

Really looking forward to talking about my research tonight at Pint of Science!🍺🧠
#Pint25 #PintofScience @pintsworld.bsky.social @pintofscience.uk @uniofnottingham.bsky.social @notts-psych.bsky.social
And biggest thanks to the participants who gave their time to make this study possible.
Huge thanks to all my amazing co-authors including Roni Tibon and Denis Schluppeck at @notts-psych.bsky.social , @reid-lab.org at Tilburg University, and @lucycheke.bsky.social and Sabine Yeung at @campsydept.bsky.social.
We found a previously reported effect of Covid-19 on accuracy in 2 long-term memory tasks. This effect extends across 2 additional long-term memory tasks regardless of memory process or stimulus type.
Super excited that the first article from my PhD research has now been reviewed and recommended by @pci-regreports.bsky.social and is available to read at osf.io/preprints/os...!
Super excited to be part of this workshop with @rachelga.bsky.social, Roni Tibon and Tobias Bast today at #BNA2025 @britishneuro.bsky.social. Come along if you are here!

Join us for Midlands Innovation Open Research Week, 6th–9th May
The theme for this year’s event is “Just fOR the love of it”, where we aim to spotlight open research beyond compliance— focusing on the principles, values, & innovations that drive researchers to embrace openness as a way of working
Call for collaborators!
We are launching the Replicability Project: Health Behavior (RPHB) to replicate a sample of findings relevant to public health, epidemiology, health policy, and behavioral science.
Teams receive funding for conducting replication studies.
Details: www.cos.io/rphb
We crowdsourced 85 teams to indep. computationally reproduce results from a single study in randomized conditions. Reproducibility:
• depends heavily on the transparency of materials
• high (~95%) for same sign/sig, but low (btw. 48-77% depending on transparency) when requiring within 0.1 effects
Had a great time presenting my PhD research on the Effects of Covid-19 infection on cognition and the brain at @notts-psych.bsky.social seminar series yesterday 😊. Thanks to everyone who came and for all the insightful questions!
