One thing great about doing high level research in academia is that you will be a field expert saying to your admin that you need to buy a specific large long handle shovel and they will take some time to consider before coming back to ask if this small handleless rake will work.

Researchers are closer to equipping a dog-like robot to conduct science on the surface of Mars after days of experiments at White Sands National Park in New Mexico. 🤖

If my undergraduates couldn't come up with at least 3 different ways this study is misrepresentative I would fail them

It costs $12,690.00 to publish open access at Nature.

They are literally uploading a PDF file.

🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely.

For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH

Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.

Whittaker et al. explain how technical features of the skin conductance response, a component of lie detector tests, may exacerbate inequities in the criminal justice system.

Our latest in @NatureHumBehav highlights growing attention to tech related inequity in psychophys (e.g., SCR) should extend beyond research. Since lie detectors rely on SCR, their use in the justice system can disproportionately harm Black individuals https://t.co/fPFibipwUf

I often think about this for undergrad psych major. Typically it is so skewed to learning facts, not how to do think about or do things. Eg Curricula are split into content areas and kids have to take a bunch. And I think we could do so much better.

One has to wonder how many times he’s made statements (or math in this case) that are just flat out wrong. And it goes completely unchecked or unnoticed by the average viewer. 😳

SPR is pleased to announce the 2024 winners of the Early Career Award, Dr. Sebastian Schindler and Dr. Daniel Bradford, for their noteworthy contributions to the field of psychophysiology!

Tricks to surviving a big academic conference:

▪️Avoid any rest to maximise effects of jet lag
▪️Massively overprepare for your unattended morning panel
▪️Feeling dehydrated? Drink more coffee
▪️Take detailed notes and never consult them again

A lot of people posting about PhD rejections would be shocked by the rejection rates in clinical psych PhD programs
