It's ten years (!) since @ButtonKate and myself (w many others) published "Power Failure: why small sample size undermines the reliability of neuroscience" in @NatRevNeurosci. Today, we have the @CommonsSITC report on reproducibility. nature.com/articles/nrn3475

Recognising and rewarding technical staff is at the heart of ensuring high-quality, reproducible research #DBFest
Replying to @FranckRamus
@FranckRamus’s paper demonstrating Bishop’s Law: “The better designed a study is, the more likely it is to obtain a null result.” #DBfest @deevybee #neuroscience #dyslexia #reproducibility

interesting: none of those who regard reforms as “crap” are named, whereas 2 reformers are. I’ve sympathy with concerns re bureaucracy, but those who object have to either demonstrate their field doesn’t have problems, or suggest other ways to fix them

We took the @BrisMobileLab out for a spin with @TheDrop_BDP to help deliver drugs harm reduction advice to @BristolUni students. I'm so happy we can help deliver this vital service! 🙌 (but wish I'd taken a better pic!) Get in touch if you're interested in hiring out the van!

Having been in an ERB that considers the informational value of a study (can be based on power, but also on other criteria) for 5 years, I wrote up the ways we evaluated good sample size justifications in this recent preprint: psyarxiv.com/9d3yf/ - it can be done.

Universities are saying students *want* in-person teaching, but maybe that's not quite true, given how many turn up vs choose to Zoom in...
