"All else equal, a meta-analysis is the most reliable form of evidence"
The average meta-analysis
How badly can a meta-analysis go wrong? (Very)
How long can the authors ignore serious problems? (5+ years)
What ways can you check an existing meta-analysis for errors? (Let me show you!)

We're thrilled to present you our latest special issue on the scientific reform movement!
In response to the replication crisis and fraud cases in the behavioral and social sciences, a reform movement has arisen that pleads for a different culture and new practices... 1/2
If you think the art of satire bait died with the Onion, one academic is on a lifelong crusade to prove you wrong

Yesterday we had the honor to receive the Open and Responsible Science award of @erasmusuni and it was such a joy 🥳☺️
Thanks to our whole team who worked tirelessly (and for almost 3 years!) on #OpenScience♥️
Check them out👇 (cute 🐱 pic coming!)
Great gentle intro to BASH for #rstats nerds!
What shell to use?⌨️💻
Zsh is now default to Mac #unix operating systems. BASH is common to many #linux, #windows WSL, and remote servers👇

This week @elisabetbl, who started and co-led the Rotterdam site of the @riotscienceclub will end her PhD contract and start her medical rotations (yes I know - She’ll be a double doctor!🎓👩⚕️). Her work has been truly remarkable and she will be greatly missed ♥️ A🧵

My research was featured in a thing @PsychToday!
Glad to see the understudied topic of sexual victimisation of men getting attention
Understanding the impact of sexual violence on male victims
bit.ly/3t5AaOH
Decided to shout into the void and post for the first time on twitter my just published Bayesian meta-analysis on the prevalence of sexual abuse in men with mental illness (MI)
🔗doi.org/10.1192/bjo.2021.106…
Why focus on men and what did we find?
🧵 #AcademicChatter #phdvoice
Thanks to my coauthors and my patient supervisor @AstridKamperman who just joined twitter today. It has been a thrill and a joy to work on this together
And special thanks to @SolomonKurz and @rlmcelreath whom I have never met but their incredible resources got me to the point I could look back and think my oh-so-difficult Bayesian analysis is kind of trivial actually. Thanks!
The pretty #rstats plots wouldn't exist without them
