#phacking isn’t just bad for science, it’s bad for scientists: Being unable to reproduce your own or others’ findings has a negative impact on mental health

Gearing up for my return from sabbatical with snacks, tea, hausschuhe, and at least the intention to get a plant. Recs for plants that will flourish in my overly warm but also dry office are warmly welcomed!

We talk a lot about the potential downsides of teaching undergrads about science’s foibles and errors, but there are real costs to presenting an overly rosy view of science, too. Looking forward to reading the whole paper (scroll to top of Nicole C Nelson, PhD’s thread for link)!

This pre-print from Nicole C Nelson, PhD sheds light on another victim of science’s #reproducibility crisis. Graduate students often blame themselves for incongruent findings, which negatively affects their mental health. osf.io/preprints/meta…

Lies... these reviewers are way too enthusiastic! They should be like, "Sorry, I am full up on mice right now... please check with Steve three boxes over."

#STS folks, if you're not already fans of this podcast, you definitely need to check out this podcast full of STSy themes run by a multidisciplinary dream team of a biologist, a sociologist, and a science educator. I had a fabulous time chatting with them for this episode!

Always a pleasure to join forces with Kacie Lucchini Butcher, this time at a campus event exploring past UW–Madison President Charles Van Hise's promotion of eugenics as part of the Wisconsin idea. Details to register below.

Come work with me! Editorial work is something that I find super rewarding, and the workload for AEs is light enough that it's something I've been able to do alongside many other roles and even while on the tenure track. Happy to chat more with interested folks.

#STS ers, please please pay attention to both Claudia G. Schwarz's bombshell and these other stories about HarvardSTS. As corroboration: Several people not connected to Claudia or Lee Vinsel have confided in me about harassment/intimidation within the program and from Sheila.

I am adding my voice to Claudia G. Schwarz's important post about what she experienced under Sheila Jasanoff in the HarvardSTS program. In this post, I describe my own experiences. It was a toxic place because Jasanoff made it that way. #MeTooSTS #WeDoSTS sts-news.medium.com/costs-untold-s…

Error detection is a slog- its unrewarded, but commonly done Fallon Mody @[email protected] explores different takes on it, finding debates in sociolobiology insightful, and this work by Nicole C Nelson, PhD really useful to help write and do error detection better estsjournal.org/index.php/ests… #ssnseminar
