I'm pleased to announce the release of our book, "An Introduction to Behavior Analysis," published by @WileyPsychology. My coauthors, Greg Madden & Florence DiGennaro Reed, & I spent 6 yrs writing this to get it right. #behaviortwitter #behavioranalysis https://t.co/sJIlW5506m 1/

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr and Trump are wrong—the largest & best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol, Tylenol) use by the mother during pregnancy. A crude unadjusted analysis found only a preliminary 5% risk, but once you adjust for family by matching using sibling controls (who didn’t get autism), the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0% 📉. (Fun fact: I used to do drug safety epidemiology and have been whistleblower against big pharma when their drugs were dangerous—so I know a few things about drug safety data). Thread 🧵.

@juststrickland Congratulations! Can’t wait to see what this brings!

[William Stoops @WilliamStoops]

Hi Friends! Giving it one more try and running for @APA Board of Directors again to be a strong voice for psychological science. More details to come, but I'd so appreciate your #1 vote when ballots are released on August 1.

[Derek Reed @AppliedBehEcon]

@WilliamStoops @juststrickland Perfectly stated, @WilliamStoops! Congratulations @juststrickland! So incredibly deserved, and you’re just getting started! 💪🏻

[Derek Reed @AppliedBehEcon]

I am pleased to announce a 1-day conference on translational topics in behavior analysis, co-sponsored by @APBAhome and Institutes for Behavior Resources, Inc.! This will be a virtual event on June 12, 2024. Stay tuned for registration details. DM me for any questions or info.

@josephb_hart @hilarispublish2 @C0PE @RetractionWatch Right?! Thankfully it’s nonsense writing. But imagine if there was something controversial—or worse: unethical—stated in the text. What’s the protocol on this?

[Derek Reed @AppliedBehEcon]

Hey @hilarispublish2, I just found this paper online. Looks like I’m the sole author and all my contact info is correct. Yet, I did *NOT* write it. Seems like AI gibberish. Care to explain? Please retract and remove it IMMEDIATELY. https://t.co/gekX6qXN26 @C0PE @RetractionWatch

[Derek Reed @AppliedBehEcon]

This is going to be 🔥. Stay tuned! KU peeps *definitely* need to check this out. #RCJH

[The Daily BA @TheDaily_BA]

Yo, behavior nerds! I'm working on something you'll like!

Tell your friends and colleagues there's about to be a film on some of the nerdiest and coolest things in behavior analysis! #behaviortwitter

@stanc1ss @RichYi_KU And, of course, Rachlin would remind us that all probability discounting carries some inherent delays to experience runs of odds, and all delay discounting is probabilistic, given the future is uncertain. Probability is a mixed and complicated bag. Probably why it's understudied.

[Derek Reed @AppliedBehEcon]

@stanc1ss @RichYi_KU I can't believe I forgot about this one using episodic future thinking: https://t.co/KCcBITwgma. Still one of my favorite studies we've ever done. But it's not a *pure* probability discounting study, since delay was factored into the vignette.
