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 wiley.com/en-us/An+Intro… 1/

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 Show us your favorite card you got today 👇

⚠️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!

Excited to join the team over at UMB this December!

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.

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

Could not be prouder of @juststrickland and his achievements. But even more importantly, he is kind, generous and welcoming to all. Exactly the kind of scientist and person I aspire to be!

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.

@stanc1ss Congratulations!!! 🎊

@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?

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. hilarispublisher.com/open-access/ex… @C0PE @RetractionWatch

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

@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.

@stanc1ss @RichYi_KU I can't believe I forgot about this one using episodic future thinking: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…. 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.

Academics don’t forget to watch this classic over the holidays! Prof at hometown community college gets a call on Xmas from “the dean of Yale” who says “I read your thesis, I think it could be a bestseller. You have to decide between Yale and marrying the hometown barista guy”

@MAmlung @herch_et_al

Fellow researchers in #behavioraleconomics -- if you're doing operant demand work in the area of public policy, we'd love for you to submit your work to our upcoming JEAB special issue! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/1… Please share or RT. Feel free to contact me if you have questions.
