Billions of regressions ≠ robustness. My new PNAS Letter shows how unjustified models can drown out justified ones — and why thoughtful model selection matters 👇 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

If you are interested in why many-analyst studies may overestimate uncertainty, you might want to take a look at our recent open access article: Toward a more credible assessment of the credibility of science by many-analyst studies | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I am happy that my paper with Sabine Düval is now published. We use survey experiments & causal mediation analyses to explore gender ideologies & norms underlying the division of housework. We argue that traditional ideologies may have been overestimated in previous research...

It only took a few years for Frontiers journals to turn into the mess they are now - pressuring reviewers to accept all submissions, special issues with lack of quality control - at US$ 2,125 a piece. Take your work elsewhere (at less risk: x.com/fake_journals/…).

We are happy to announce the new DFG-funded longterm German Longitudinal Environmental Study (GLEN). @glen_study will provide representative, individual level panel data on human-environmental interactions and climate issues. glen-studie.de #sciencenews #Klimawandel

The substantive lesson is: For female scientists the results are not so dismal as reported in the Nature article. In most fields, female and male scientists have quite similar chances of being credited authorship.

Their own results show that in only 2 out of 13 fields women are (significantly) less likely to be granted authorship! The methodological lesson is: Present your results in figures and not only in tables, and discuss the variation in findings!

"If your data contradicts the common wisdom: ignore your data." It seems that Ross et al. followed this advice when they concluded in their recent @Nature article that women are credited less likely authorship in "most scientific fields". See our comment: osf.io/preprints/soca…

Congrats to @YuliyaKosyakova for receiving the Raymond Boudon Award 2023!
