Today my PhD thesis was officially conferred after I successfully defended it a few weeks ago...so I guess I’m a doctor now. I had lots of help from a lot of people along the way. Thank you all!

[Ruben Laukkonen @RubenLaukkonen]

Grateful beyond words—and privileged—to soon join Southern Cross Uni Gold Coast as a lecturer/assist prof, and to return home to a familiar surf break! Thank you @heleenslagter for a deeply stimulating few years. Thank you Amsterdam. Thank you @SCUonline for the glorious view!

Thrilled to share our latest paper! Insights are like a flame who’s light permeates beyond the original idea to the rest of our experience, pushing us forth in a state of dopaminergic confidence in whatever happens to lay present at that moment: https://t.co/I3QSNoSn3L

New paper out led by @sam_g_robson. We relied on two frameworks for behaviour change to suggest practical things you can do to promote the parts of open science you think should be promoted.

We developed a paradigm for reliably eliciting false insights in the lab! Implications for the development and propagation of false beliefs, conspiracy theories, delusions, and more.

I'm excited to share with you that your embodied feelings of insight tend to be accurate.

And the more intense they are, the better.

✅ Open Access.
✅ Preregistered.
✅ Big effects, baby.

How to foster #OpenScience practices apart from changing one's own behavior? We collected several nudges addressing various stakeholders in the academic system. You have more ideas or feedback? Please get in contact with us! https://t.co/0CQqXTK7H8

New paper in CR:PI with @SearstonR and Jason Tangen. Compared to novices, experts are excellent at searching for the most useful information in fingerprints, but if you scramble the prints their superior search skills disappear. https://t.co/gutAEQW8pi
