One of the giants of social psychology was a serial sexual harasser.
This new report reveals how Miles Hewstone touched, bullied, and sexual harassed numerous women during his 18 years at the University of Oxford. It's amazing how often bullying and sexual harassment go together in academia.

My wife was sexually harassed by Miles Hewstone as a phd student. He was still asked to review her (and other women he harassed) for jobs and promotions. This is so fucked up.
Thankfully, she and many other women testified against him and something was finally done. This is her take on his case:

I am excited to share that our team's paper was a runner-up for a best paper award at the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology. Our paper reports on the efficacy of our workplace supervisor support training at reducing loneliness among active duty service members.

* We should not rely on meta-analysis or Cochrane to take out bad papers, publishers should do this - do better screening before they get published.
* Some Cochrane reviews still contain works from authors in the top 10 of the Retraction Watch Leaderboard.

IRT often feels like one hot fever dream where everybody tries to hide the fact that it's just a nonlinear factor model. I had friends who weren't trained in it who essentially picked up that it had magic properties that factor models don't.

The academic job market is doing something very good:
A lot of searches are *NO* longer asking for reference letters until applicants make the short list.
This makes is easier to apply for jobs, reduces the letter writing load for faculty, and makes the review process easier for committee members.

Dear academics
We could dramatically reduce our administrative workload if we all just agreed not to ask for reference letters until we made our list of finalists.
This is massive collective action problem has already been solved by…
*checks notes*
…every other industry on earth.

Who is for abolishing grad app letters of rec at the point of application? Would it be so bad if letters were requested AFTER candidates were shortlisted? If we do this at UCSD who will join us?

A student nicely pointed out that the correlated uniquenesses model I showed looked like Darth Vader's helmet.
Also had fun discussions about how experimental treatments could be manipulating attitudes related to response tendencies effects rather than trait, so ATEs are method effects.
