New paper just published in @CommsBio! 🎉 In this work led by @am_sartorius, we describe and functionally annotate the evolutionary timeline of the oxytocin signaling pathway nature.com/articles/s4200… 🔓 Analysis scripts ➡️ osf.io/rxphw/




🚨New preprint🚨osf.io/89fgw Researchers' decisions have been recognized as a source of discrepancies between meta-analysis outcomes. With a multiverse approach, we explored the impact of analytical decisions on meta-analyses in intranasal oxytocin research🧵
I recently found out I'm the EiC of a journal in engineering... can anyone offer advice on how I deal with this BS? medium.com/@samuelwestwoo…
Nice to have some time up in the mountains, where cow and sheep herds roam free. Farmers just collect them at the end of the summer. Until then, they just go where they want, including the roads and your front yard.

182: What practices should the behavioural sciences borrow from other research fields? everythinghertz.com/182 We cover meta-analysis pre-registration (med), electronic lab management software (bio), case studies (med), clear writing (philosophy), plus more
⭐️Open Research Summer School📷 So happy to hear @ephemeralidea, who will discussing her work with @nicebread303 on p-hacking! Register & Programme Here: tinyurl.com/49x793yf Her work also featured on @hertzpodcast: x.com/hertzpodcast/s…
151: The dirty dozen everythinghertz.com/151 We chat about a new preprint from @ephemeralidea + @nicebread303 that details twelve p-hacking strategies and simulates their impact on false-positive rates psyarxiv.com/xy2dk/ as well as the Great Resignation in academia
New publication day! 😀 Our article consolidating the evidence on the societal impact of Open Science is now live at Royal Society Open Science doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2… #OpenScience #impact
Hot off the press! Measurement error in wearables is poorly understood & it does not help when companies say they measure one "thing" but really measure "another". We quantified if measuring HRV with a wearable is the same as with an ECG link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Last day today at #ohbm2024 ! Come and see me at my poster number 2115 to discuss the evolution and cerebral expression of oxytocin signaling pathway genes 🤓
If you’re at #OHBM2024, check out @am_sartorius’ poster describing her recently published work on cerebral expression and evolutionary annotation of the oxytocin signaling pathway 👇
What a great idea!
Thanks @michagaebler @TimKietzmann @DuncanAstle @dsquintana @drbrea @marcel_binz @StePalminteri @jssr @SvenWientjes for the great resources! We’re currently having a reviewing + rebuttal workshop at our lab retreat, where everyone reviews each other’s writing samples

Your brain is not an onion with a tiny reptile inside. In other words, brain structures did not evolve linearly from reptiles to humans journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…
What are some debunked things that a lot of reasonably well-informed people don't know are debunked?
I *still* meet academics that have not heard of preprints. So, to help spread the good news, I put together a new video that introduces what they are and how they can benefit scientific research youtu.be/HFW0d0kEvLQ
They literally rolled out the red carpet for N’s preschool farewell. They even had welcome drinks too! *sniff* must be lots of pollen around today…

Interesting paper + strong pun game 🐟doi.org/10.1016/j.phys…
