My paper with @hayleycullen_ and Beth Clarke on the prejudices of expert evidence (https://t.co/KPfgsoGMDA) in @MonULR has been cited by the High Court in Lang v The Queen: https://t.co/Wd2XIpLRwj. We talked about some expert implications from metascience.

What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!

With the reality (many just use what their employer forwards them):

A clear demonstration of why we need a better way of getting research summaries into legal proceedings can be found by contrasting the expectation of courts (we can 'infer' reliability of summaries, from Beech-Jones, CJ at CL, as he then was):

[Jeremy Gans @jeremy_gans]

Great to see this sort of detail about joint authorship in a law article (not surprisingly using norms from empirical fields and applying them to an empirical law article.)

[Jason Chin @socpsychupdate]

Very pleased to see this out, led by the indefatigable Mark Steele. And thanks to the editors for carefully inspecting our R scripts (among other things)!
As @jeremy_gans noted, there were some disagreements about what was seen as acceptable among judges:

[Melbourne University Law Review @MelbULRev]

ISSUE 48(1): Mark Steele SC, Dr Jason Chin (@socpsychupdate) and Dr Celine van Golde (@celinevangolde) report on the views of Australian trial judges on a range of witness preparation practices and potential reforms.

@PGShowcases @pg_int1 @TeamAusBaseball easy power :)

Gino's case against us has been dismissed.

Scientists cannot effectively sue other scientists for exposing fraud/errors in their work.

Those who work to correct the scientific record can sleep better tonight. Those who don’t want it corrected, well, I don’t care how they sleep.

Congrats to @socpsychupdate, @JustinTPickett, @siminevazire, @ceptional!

We look forward to spotlighting more open criminology like theirs!

[Anne Scheel @annemscheel]

I genuinely struggle to understand how you can be a tenured psychology professor and think you can “reanalyse” a meta-analysis by literally averaging the included effects.
Is this just how bad stats education was pre 2011?

[Kate Mulgrew @TheKateMulgrew]

Thank you @AOC for the shout-out last night on @StephenAtHome @colbertlateshow. I take great pride in my legacy as Janeway, especially inspiring the next generation of leaders.

I wholeheartedly endorse @KamalaHarris & @Tim_Walz - time for another #BlueWave2024 🌊 #KamalaHarris

[Jason Chin @socpsychupdate]

@MishaTeplitskiy that was a dangerous one for me because the original finding aligned with my intuitions but now I can see there are many reasons it could be wrong.

[Prof. Tammy Hoffmann @Tammy_Hoffmann]

We could REALLY do with a Metascience unit in Australia.

[Jason Chin @socpsychupdate]

@jameswilsdon @Nature @DalmeetS @stianwestlake @RoRInstitute Funny that metascience has revealed a lot of flaws in the research used by the other unit you mention (the nudge unit).

Ever wonder how your favorite behavioral science journal performs in terms of the global representation of its first authors?

depressing findings about the state of psych and law research.
