Inspired by the work of @renskevroomans.bsky.social and @escolizzi.bsky.social on "selfish multicellularity", I made a very different type of model to replicate their results. Take that #replicationcrisis!

If you ever write an essay that includes “Toward a Something of Something” in the title, 5 years later you should get a letter asking if you ever got there—and if you didn’t you should have to retract the essay and write a full autocritique #replicationcrisis

Do you think methodology deserves better preservation in scientific literature? Do you actually trace back to original protocols rather than citing the conclusion from modern papers or reviews?

A key takeaway for anyone interested in the #ReplicationCrisis (like me, writing my thesis) is that theories ultimately collapse not due to ambition or complexity, but because they "can't survive rigorous testing" and large-scale replication attempts.

Science rewards positive findings, but how do we decide what not to keep pursuing? “Fail faster” research models may make science more reliable.

Roy Bhaskar's Critical Realism and the crisis of replication in psychology
In this episode, I interview Dr Rob Archer and we talk about Roy Bhaskar’s critical realism and how it deals with the crisis of replication.

198 effect sizes in ego depletion resesrch showed an effect size of d=0.62. Preregistered large replications (including some by original authors) yielded an effect size of 0. No one has been able to offer any other explanation for this huge research waste than massive p-hacking.
