Together with my co-host @smreeteemehta we've started a new podcast: Nullius in Verba. A podcast about science - what it is, and what it could be. The introduction episode is up now! .Apple: .Spotify:..RSS:.

Just checking, before I draw too general conclusions, but did anyone enjoy the Metascience conference in London? People from my lab absolutely hated it. Not a positive comment from any of my peers. Did anyone think it was worthwhile?.

As I am going over old blog posts, here is a nice blog by Brent Roberts on qualities in graduate students that, in his opinion, lead to a successful career in academia. Still very good advice.

A lot of discussions about open science in psychology happened on blogs. I have been archiving them and will make their content available. I remember 37 blogs (with 2827 posts!) but which blogs did I forget and are not on my list? Please share and reply with any that are missing!

Do you want to go to a metascience conference where AI will not solve all problems, you can ask critical questions, and El$evier is not invited? Sign up for the mailing list for the 8th Perspectives on Scientific Error conference in 2026 in Leiden!

Excellent opportunity for a PhD position with the wonderful supervisors Frank Renkewitz and Moritz Heene “Models, Measures, Moderators - Exploration and Explanation of Heterogeneity in Psychological Replications” - great topic for a PhD!.

New episode of @nulliusverbapod on exploratory experimentation. Why does exploratory research seem to be valued less? How can we do it well?

Episode 62: Experimenta Exploratoria

New blog post: Are meta-scientists ignoring philosophy of science? I don't think so, but I fear for reasons philosophers of science will not enjoy reading.

"The intensity of the conviction that a hypothesis is true has no bearing on whether it is true or not. The importance of the strength of our conviction is only to provide a proportionately strong incentive to find out if the hypothesis will stand up to critical evaluation.".

Probability Pyramiding (A. Neher),"📊 Before Ioannidis, there was Neher. This 1967 gem warns of research error and the need for replication. Still relevant today.

We Have to Break Up (R. B. Cialdini),💔 Cialdini’s “We Have to Break Up” challenges the status quo in psychological science. A bold call for a focus on more applied research.
