Together with my co-host @smreeteemehta we've started a new podcast: Nullius in Verba. A podcast about science - what it is, and what it could be. The introduction episode is up now!

I built a website that tracks open source tools that provide automated checks for scientific manuscripts: lakens.github.io/automated_r…
It provides a summary through RSS feed that you can subscribe to. It tracks 13 repositories - if you want your repo to be included, let me know!

Our Metacheck team would love to keep track of what our peers are working on, and to facilitate collaboration. Making these tools is hard work, so we should help each other out where we can!

In my new blogpost I pull back the cover regarding claims that low powered tests "exaggerate" population effects: "low power and an all too standarderror: continuation of 'don't turn power on its head'. errorstatistics.com/2026/06/…

After hearing the enthusiastic description of the importance of the work of Popper at the start of this episode, I am almost tempted to buy the 200k trading card....
S7E23 Quantitude Philosopher of Science Trading Cards
In today’s episode we talk about creating collectible trading cards for some of our favorite philosophers of science and the impact each has had on how we think about the practice of research.

My PhD Sajedeh Rasti has published a World View piece in Nature today: "Don’t compete, collaborate: why collective funding applications are the future" nature.com/articles/d41586-0… She discusses how she brought together a team of meta-scientists to collaboratively apply for funding.

If you prefer to read open access texts, then read our more extensive overview (submitted to Meta-Psychology) here: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/fm…
I'm extremely proud of the excellent work Sajedeh is doing - she is an incredibly talented young scholar.

We launched our beta version 0.0.1 of Metacheck today! After our second year of work on the tool, we now have validated modules, hugely expanded functionality, optional (or local) LLM use, checks inside code files, and much more! Try it out in R now: scienceverse.org/metacheck/

Vlasta Sikimić is opening the conference on AI and Peer Review at Eindhoven University of Technology. It will be a very interesting day, no doubt full of spirited discussions!

If you are sad we haven't released a podcast for a while, and you'd like to hear me talk about coordination in science (and why it is such an important solution to many of the challenges we have been facing for decades), see my recent talk here: youtu.be/g8LFwyQsML8?is=O_Ea…

Is power posing a Thing after all?
The author of the original research offers new evidence.
Daniel @lakens first ignored, but thankfully later took a critical look 👏 —finding little to convince, and much to be sceptical.
Salutary reading for fans:

Good news! Registered Reports are fun, they have many benefits (see below) and they give you many chances to review your paper ;) so far, all my studies are designed as RRs! Way to go 💪🏽

Excellent news! Nature is expanding Registered Reports to all the fields in which they publish! A great result by all those proposing this strong solution to publication bias and selective reporting (and getting expert feedback before data collection)! nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

"When Cuddy says ‘The evidence is there’, this is not correct for the Andolfi and Antonietti article, which does not seems to exist in the scholarly record."
Lord, give me strength to read the rest and keep an open mind.

If a scientist uses AI to make strong claims in public about the scientific literature, and some references do not exist, and the generated text does not correcfly reflect the findings, should we inform them privately to fix the text or should we share this information publicly?
