Open qualitative research resource and ideas collection
A few years ago, I was completely dismissive of qualitative research. I didn’t think it could tell us much and didn’t value qualitative work or findings. However, I’ve experienced a full 180 degree spin on my stance. I now appreciate qualitative work and the insights it brings. Inspired by Hans IJzerman’s tweet thread, I’ve collected…

Reflections on culture change towards open science
I recently attended two excellent virtual metascience conferences: the Surrey Reproducibility Society & ReproducibiliTea’s on May 29th and RIOT Science Club’s on the 11th of June. One of the common themes across both conferences was how the culture of academia was changing. The focus of Anne Scheel’s talk for the first conference1 was on Early Career…

My positive stance towards preprints is becoming stronger the…

Social media debates and social capital
I like science Twitter. Science social media has pretty much been my education for all things related to statistics, metascience, and philosophy of science. I’ve talked with great people and been exposed to ideas I would almost certainly never encountered otherwise. But the way it, and all mediums through which scientific ideas are informally discussed,…

ReproducibiliTea interview
I was recently interviewed by Amy Orben, Sophia Crüwell, and Sam Parsons for their excellent podcast ‘ReproducibiliTea’. We talked a little bit about myself before getting into some more interesting topics: open science, educational psychology, how the two interact (or how they don’t), and the developing nuance in understanding around open science practices. The link…
