This is insane
Harvard sued behavioral scientist Francesca Gino for defamation in August, alleging the former Harvard Business School professor sent the school a falsified dataset to prove she did not commit data fraud. @Evan_HC_Epstein and @GrahamWonLee report. https://t.co/HDU3WI44JN

@rSanti97 Iāve always found moral foundations to be a weird framework for the current moment, when tons of people are changing their votes. Like, why did Joe Biden do 12% worse in West Virginia than a black liberal named Barrack Hussein Obama? Why have Democrats lost 40% of the vote in

A new study seems to show that right-leaning participants care more about left-leaning causes than right-leaning ones 𤯠A surprising finding, but I think we should be cautious about this interpretation 𧵠1/8

New episode! @paulbloomatyale interviews Yoel about when to give up on a theory, and which of his own findings he no longer believes. But it's not all doom and gloom! We also talk about findings we think are solid, and, of course, Sydney Sweeney. https://t.co/xcWu69zZwX

I had a great time recording this. What they are proposing is new, interesting, and weird in the best possible way. If you sometimes have a nagging feeling that we are missing something important as a science, this is well worth a listen.

Been unusually tired with mood swings and brain fog lately. Finally got blood work done: significant B12 and iron deficiencies. Will take time to rebuild, but I'm fixable with vitamins! If you've been feeling off, this is your reminder: get your labs checked!

šļø @SpencrGreenberg on @fourbeerspod: new psychology replication effort finds p-hacking way down (yay), but ~half of replicated studies don't mean what the authors implied they did (oof). This is not just a problem in psychology, in my experience!
