What's next? There are still many interesting questions at the trait level. For example, heritability estimates for BMI vary substantially across methods and suggest that more complex environmental interactions may be at play (an echo of prior work: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28692066/).

So there you have it, twin study estimates were greatly inflated, and molecular data sets the record straight. I walk through possible counter-arguments, but ultimately the uncomfortable truth is that genes contribute to traits much less than we always thought.

Looks like a great job in a great place, and the honesty in the job description is a nice touch. I mean, is it interdisciplinary scientific data? Then yeah it's going to be parts messy, unstructured and incomplete. Research Data Management is won in the trenches.

Huge congrats to Philipp Kaniuth for successfully defending his PhD summa cum laude (with distinction) “on the measurement of representations and similarity”! Phil was my first PhD candidate, so it’s a particularly special event for me, and he can be very proud of his achievements!

We @opensciencenl.bsky.social proudly present the new work programme for 2026–2027. 13 funding instruments to strengthen #openscience in the Netherlands.
Structured around 5 themes:
🔹infrastructure
🔹capacity
🔹communities
🔹incentives
🔹monitoring

Work programme 2026-2027: the Netherlands takes the next step towards open science | Open Science NL
With its second work programme, Open Science NL takes another major step towards making open science the norm in the Netherlands. On 14 November, the Steering Board approved the programme for 2026 and 2027. It outlines thirteen funding instruments covering the full spectrum of open science, ranging from citizen science hubs, AI, replication studies, to open science infrastructure.

Glad to see that in the criteria for tenure our department now explicitly includes #openscience. There’s hope!

Binney et al. examine preregistration benefits in neuropsychology, and routes to achieving key objectives. They survey barriers and argue that these biases are surmountable. From the Reproducibility collection, please read at buff.ly/kxMjhhd.

Zhou et al. report that parenchymal CSF (pCSF) mapping from T2 relaxometry is more strongly associated with beta-amyloid deposition than other MRI-based glymphatic markers; pCSF is a sensitive, whole brain, non-invasive AD glymphatic dysfunction biomarke (buff.ly/tOAZ7k2)

Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉

As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices

Unfortunately true and makes me think about gut-brain related research as a whole: “where there’s smoke, there must be fire,” but experience from neuroimaging association studies, and nutritional epidemiology has shown that actually there can sometimes just be lots of smoke. 💨 »
The link between the gut #microbiome and autism is not backed by science, researchers say.

I think the general lessons are:

1. Be clear about your goal (_estimand_)

2. Be clear about your analytical method (_estimator_)

3. Be clear about the assumptions that connect method to goal (_design_)
