Have been doing a lot of research into the psychometrics of socioeconomic status, stumbled on a weird academic clique of SES denialists: parents don’t matter, schools don’t matter, inequity isn’t real.

Also went through 72 of the references to check for accuracy. 47 weren’t, which is obviously normal and great osf.io/e5jvn

Over waarom huizen zo duur zijn.
Plottwist: het idee is *meer* bouwen. Sociale woningen gaan het niet redden.

@MarkAnnuncio alright, let me just start a new thread. Thanks for reading our paper!

As the boldness of predictions inevitably goes down due to all of these fixes, you're pretty much just doing induction anyway. At which point you may as well bite the bullet and start doing proper inductive science.

Once upon a time, @talyarkoni said "psychologists generalize much too freely" psyarxiv.com/jqw35/ and then @lakens said "well, duh, that's how hypothetico-deductive science works" and @annemscheel said "with a bit of work, we can even be good at it!" psyarxiv.com/vekpu/
... and then I said "psychology can never be hypothesis-driven so nope, it's still a dumpster fire." New paper! Preprint: psyarxiv.com/y2rd7 Published: doi.org/10.1177/174569162110…
Thanks to @dingding_peng, @talyarkoni, @wolfvanpaemel, Joseph Cesario, @rlucas11 and the twitterverse for many helpful comments on the way there.

The fine folks at @source asked me to write about leaving journalism, and booyyy, talk about catharsis. I had a wild mix of feelings when I left the Post and so I'm thankful @opennews gave me a chance to express myself. Hope it resonates with anyone who's done this work.
Exit interviews are a way to seek honest critique and prompt reflection. This Q&A with @aboutaaron is the first in an occasional series, with feedback for journalism from news nerds who recently left the field and still love it. source.opennews.org/articles…
