Really thrilled to have the opportunity to help lead Edinburgh Neuroscience alongside the fantastic @Maclomaclee and looking forward to getting stuck in 👍
(and yes, it's awesome to be the first woman in the role!)
We are delighted to announce our new directors! 👏
Two firsts in the history of Edinburgh Neuroscience-
We not only have 2 co-directors but also the first woman in this prestigious post!
Join us in welcoming Professors Catherine Abbott and Malcolm MacLeod🥳

Our complementary backgrounds and shared passion for improving conditions for researchers have led to our vision of an environment where research culture is at the heart of all our activities, allowing inspiration to flourish. We will promote open science, embed EDI, and provide the best possible opportunities for early career researchers. We are really looking forward to working with you all and look forward to hearing your ideas for the future of Edinburgh Neuroscience."

🥁🤩 Please retweet. Super happy to announce the @Inserm workshop "METHODS IN META-RESEARCH: HOW TO IMPROVE RESEARCH PRACTICE" organised by @IsabelleBoutron, me, and Philippe Ravaud with a stellar team of speakers: J Ioannidis, @Maclomaclee @dirnagl Carl Moons, Roland Roberts...
I was recently invited to a meeting on how to address publication bias. I can’t attend (my sisters wedding 🥰) but that’s ok because they can follow this series of events as an example of the problem and of effective handling. Proud of @PCI_RegReports
Following this incident, the Managing Board of @PCI_RegReports has removed @APA's Journal of Experimental Psychology: General from our list of PCI RR-interested journals & is launching an updated policy to prevent future cases.

A big thanks to @inge_stegeman and @tonyR_H for facilitating such an open and collaborative culture. @iRISE_EU, @TIER2Project and @OSIRIS4r have spent the day discussing synergies, identifying opportunities and getting to know each other! Exciting #reproducibility work to come!
My partner in crime, Sarah McCann, and I looking serious at the @iRISE_EU kick-off…..lots of exciting work is coming soon (tech issues withstanding)! Photo credit @HannoWurbel

Our preprint describing AD SOLES - a systematic online living evidence summary of animal research in #AlzheimersDisease - is now up at 10.31222/osf.io/s5gf9, with @DrKaitlynHair, @profEmilySena, @EWilsonSci and @olena_maksym - all feedback welcome 🙏
Loved this chat….let’s hope it aged well 🫣
Out today: 'Integrity' with @profEmilySena 🎉
We discuss how open research intersects with inclusivity & how inequality in academia affects ability to push back on research integrity issues.
Don't miss it!☕️🔥 1/2

Any words of wisdom, people?
Suffering from this. Put babe’s name down on 7 nurseries when he was just a few weeks old, about to turn 1 and still stuck 😩. The system isn’t working and without grandparent support we’d be up a creek without a paddle. bbc.co.uk/news/education-662…

Very privileged to have our #ALS work @aberdeenuni showcased @ScotParl today for @BritishNeuro #NeuroscienceMatters, as 1/4 case studies of exemplary #neuroscience research in Scotland alongside @CMHenstridge, @profEmilySena, @CAMRADES! Many thanks to @MNDScotland for support 🙏
Wow…..I’m at the Playfair Library for @DKAYEMBE’s @EdinburghUni rectorial installation and it’s great to see the African representation. So much colour 🧡
Back at work and wading through my inbox…..so many of the 1000s of emails are people following up requests that I haven’t replied to. My out of office said I was on maternity leave but folk just kept sending the same requests….over and over 😩
And @DrKaitlynHair is up talking about her fantastic work on Systematic Online Evidence Summaries (SOLES).
The better half of the #Metascience2023 @CAMARADES_ sandwich.
So, even after almost a year off, “top tier journals” is a variable we’re still on?! - as a marker of study quality #Metascience2023

New blog post: Who’s afraid of open science? Transparency as a threat to unearned prestige.
Research evaluation is a rigged game; some researchers, and journals, get a free ride. Transparency helps close the loopholes to unearned prestige.

On using citation shortcuts to methods - @T_Weissgerber argues that citations can be appropriate, but must meet higher standards including detailed descriptions and #openaccess #metascience2023
