Today, my term as director of the Psychological Science Accelerator — one of the largest collaborative communities in psychology — ends.
Working w/ @PsySciAcc was very hard work. But it was incredibly meaningful.
🧵on the past 3 years and the future of big team science
A huge thank you to Erin Sievers who has served in this role over the past year. She is off to pursue her graduate studies at Penn State University this fall, and we couldn't be more proud :)
My team will be hiring a new full-time Research Coordinator at Ashland University to work with us on our JTF funded project, “Examining the Big Questions in Big Samples: Using the Psychological Science Accelerator to investigate JTF priorities''!
Review of applications will begin immediately, with a final deadline for submission of May 31st. I’d be very happy to field any pre-app questions or inquiries here on slack or via email at [email protected]. Please pass along to any applicants that may be interested.
The PSACR Data Paper is now published at Scientific Data by @aggieerin et al. - this paper represents the final paper from the project and details the full dataset available for reuse. https://t.co/cenTZ7rcnf
The €200,000 Institutional #EinsteinFoundationAward2022 goes to @PsySciAcc@coles_nicholas_. The network brings together scientists from over 70 countries and has been making key contributions to the democratization and diversification of psychological research. Congratulations!

Can posed smiles make people feel happier?
In a global adversarial collaboration, we found overwhelming support for this controversial hypothesis.
But we couldnt resolve one thing: concerns about a popular pen-in-mouth smiling task.

So @AdamRutherford is receiving a lot of skepticism about his tweet saying that if Cheddar Man has any genealogical ancestors today, he is the common ancestor of all present-day humans. Adam is correct about this — I think this is such a cool finding, so I'll explain it below.
Please don't make me do this again.
If Cheddar Man has *any* single living descendant then he is the ancestor of LITERALLY EVERYONE ON EARTH.
Not metaphorically, or conceptually, but actually mathematically. All humans. Everyone. みんな. Tout le monde. 每个人. katoa. हर कोई.
