Welcome to a special bonus episode of The HPS Podcast with Professor of Psychology, Simine Vazire, discussing the ways in which HPS scholars and scientists can work together to create better science.We are releasing the episode to coincide with the campaign put together by Simine and others to support the legal defence of Data Colada – a group of professors who identify concerns with the integrity of published research. Members of Data Colada are being sued by Francesca Gino, a Harvard Business School Professor, after they published blog posts raising concerns about the data integrity of four papers on which Gino was a co-author. As the group says, “defending science requires defending legitimate scientific criticism against legal bullying”.In this podcast episode Indigo Keel, talks with Simine about more than just this one issue. They discuss Simine's connection to History and Philosophy of Science, the need for scientists to reflect on the practices of their discipline, issues that have arisen out of the replication crisis and cases of alleged scientific misconduct – including the Francesca Gino case. Simine highlights how philosophers of science can contribute to making science better.Relevant links:·       The GoFundMe Campaign to Support Data Colada's Legal Defense·       Vox Article: Is it Defamation to Point out Scientific Research Fraud?·       Data Colada Post (Part 1): “Clusterfake”·       Data Colada Post (Part 2): “My Class Year is Harvard”·       Data Colada Post (Part 3): “The Cheaters are Out of Order”·       Data Colada Post (Part 4): “Forgetting the Words”A transcript of the episode can be found here: https://www.hpsunimelb.org/post/bonus-episode-transcript Simine studies the research methods and practices used in psychology, as well as structural systems in science, such as peer review.

Hosťkou najnovšej epizódy ZmUPované je Ivana Beláková, ktorá má ako jediná žena na svete certifikát zaraďujúci jej tetovania medzi moderné umenie. V apríli sme sa s ňou spojili keď bola ešte v Amerike, ale tentokrát prišla priamo k nám do štúdia. Ivana má medzi svojimi klientmi ľudí ako Lil Wayne, Rita Ora či Mia Khalifa. Hovorí, že tetovať Lil Wayna si privolala sama. Chcela ho tetovať, pretože má rada jeho hudbu, tak si predstavovala, ako ho tetuje a vedela, že sa to stane. „Chris Brown mi púšťal album, ktorý ešte nemal vydaný. Ukázal mi jeho dom. Lil Wayne bol taký zlatý, toho mám najradšej. Rita Ora takisto,“ hovorí Ivana. Tvrdí, že nič nie je nemožné a svoje pozitívne myslenie sa snaží šíriť medzi ľuďmi. „Predstav si, že pochádzam z dediny, kde je 200 ľudí a teraz som v Hollywoode.“ V rozhovore sa pozrela aj na Simine tetovanie a povedala, čo si o ňom myslí. O jej značke oblečenia, o tom, aké sú rozdiely medzi Slovákmi a Američanmi a aké má ďalšie plány do budúcna sa dozvieš v najnovšej epizóde ZmUPované so Simou Ondruškovou.

Vitajte pri našej ďalšej epizóde, kde sa budeme hlavne baviť o tom, čo je hype - teda predovšetkým knižný hype. Taktiež sa bavíme o tom, či dokáže byť hype dobrý a zlý, ako dokáže pomôcť vydavateľstvám či autorom a či sme sa ním už niekedy dali zlákať na knihy. Budeme sa tiež baviť o Krvavej dedičke, o tom, ako Simine očakávania boli zbombardované a o tom, aké mala Mara pocity po negatívnych recenziách. Na záver vám dáme pár skvelých rád o tom, ako pri hype držať svoje očakávania na uzde. Vypočujte si epizódu až do konca, aby ste sa dozvedeli jedno malé prekvapko o knihe Tiene medzi nami!!!

The upcoming academic term will be unusual, to say the least. The global pandemic led to emergency shutdowns in March, and it is likely that many colleges and universities will continue teaching partially or wholly online. And protests against anti-Black racism in the United States and elsewhere have led to institutional statements about taking an antiracist stand - which may or may not translate into real change. In this episode, we discuss some of the changes and how we are thinking about them in our work. How did we adapt our teaching for remote learning, and what do we think fall will look like? What changes can we make to our teaching and service to be more antiracist? How can we stay focused and motivated when we're acting as individuals against systemic problems? Plus, we answer a letter about working in the lab of your more senior and prominent partner. Simine chides her co-hosts over ignoring Southern Hemisphere seasons (and the one who writes episode titles promises to try harder, right after he gets this one pun out of his system). And Sanjay talks about coping with grief under social distancing. The Black Goat is hosted by Sanjay Srivastava, Alexa Tullett, and Simine Vazire.

Le secteur minier sud-africain a été durement touché par les conséquences de l’épidémie de coronavirus. En avril, la production a presque diminué de moitié par rapport à l'année dernière. La crise est aussi l'occasion pour les compagnies de penser à leur futur. À l’heure de la quatrième révolution industrielle, le secteur minier est en pleine mutation : les mines s’automatisent, et les métiers du numérique sont de plus en plus recherchés.  Ancienne avocate, Olebogeng Sentsho a finalement décidé de se reconvertir dans le monde de la mine. La jeune femme de 32 ans travaille pour le fonds sud-africain qu’elle a créé, le Simba Mgodi Fund, pour financer des jeunes qui souhaitent se lancer dans le domaine minier. « On aura toujours besoin de beaucoup de minerais dans le monde, comme intrants, donc je pense que c’est un secteur du futur, mais qui va beaucoup se transformer. Le fait que l’on puisse visualiser l’intérieur de la mine sur sa tablette, que l’on puisse gérer certaines opérations grâce à un drone. C’est vraiment une période excitante pour l’industrie », s’exclame-t-elle. Pourtant, de nombreux jeunes Sud-Africains n’ont pas forcément en tête à quoi ressemble le métier de mineur aujourd’hui. ► À lire aussi : Afrique du Sud, un déconfinement progressif dans le secteur minier  La révolution numérique a déjà commencé dans le secteur minier Anthony Mello travaille pour SiMINE, une start-up de Johannesburg qui propose une immersion dans la mine du futur. Il explique que « ce que la plupart des jeunes en Afrique du Sud connaissent de la mine, ça leur vient de leurs parents, ou de leurs proches, pour qui le métier est toujours très manuel et difficile physiquement ». Puis d'ajouter : « Mais nous voulons montrer aux plus jeunes que l’on a besoin désormais de nouvelles compétences, de connaissances numériques, et nous essayons de les intéresser au secteur grâce à cette approche ». La révolution numérique a déjà commencé à transformer le métier, et permet notamment d’ouvrir plus de portes aux femmes selon les acteurs du secteur. Mais pour se saisir de ces opportunités, encore faut-il que les jeunes du continent soient correctement formés, comme l’explique Thandazile Moyo qui travaille sur ces questions pour l’Université du Cap. « Il faut vraiment que l’on réfléchisse davantage aux compétences dont va avoir besoin cette génération. Et c’est aussi l’occasion d’instaurer une meilleure collaboration entre les universitaires et les industriels, pour que l’on progresse tous à la même vitesse », dit-il. L’apport de la jeune génération au secteur À 30 ans, Olivier Tambwe a quitté la RDC pour venir faire ses études de génie chimique en Afrique du Sud, et espère apporter de nouvelles compétences au monde des mines. « Je suis vraiment attiré par le secteur, et c’est un secteur pourvoyeur d’emplois dans la région d’où je viens. Le projet sur lequel je travaille consiste à essayer d’intégrer les stratégies de développement durable dans l’exploitation minière. C’est ça le chemin ou la carrière que je désire emprunter », déclare-t-il.  Car la jeune génération se soucie davantage des questions de gestion durable des ressources, et d’intégration des communautés. Ce sera donc aux entreprises de les convaincre de leur volonté de s’améliorer sur ces sujets.

Is the “business-as-usual” approach to science in crisis? Does the public have a good grasp of how scientific knowledge is really generated? And might scientists be as much prey to self-serving biases as the rest of us mortals? Simine Vazire joins Igor and Charles to discuss the thorny complexity of seeking reliable knowledge about the world and about ourselves, the perils of being a whistleblower in the competitive world of modern science, and the on-going scientific credibility revolution. We discuss meta-scientists, the Open Science movement, and the power of preprints to bust open the black box of peer review. Igor tries to unpack the dialectic of motives among the ‘data policemen,’ Simine issues a call-to-arms for a grassroots-powered future for the scientific community, and Charles learns that the planet of self-knowledge is in a galaxy still far, far away. Welcome to Episode 25. Special Guest: Simine Vazire.

Speaking up about injustice and bad behavior in a professional setting - as a witness, or as the target of it - is hard. It's uncomfortable, it's difficult, and it can generate backlash and other risks for yourself and your career. In this episode, we talk about that moment when people finally decide to say something or do something. Simine shares the story of how she decided to go on the record about being groped at a conference - what brought her to that decision, and what happened as a result. And we talk about other cases of people speaking up about harassment, discrimination, professional misconduct, and more, including Jennifer Freyd's pay discrimination lawsuit against the University of Oregon. We talk about the burden of knowing something is wrong, how this dilemma often falls disproportionately on people who are vulnerable in other ways, and what factors can help somebody speak out. Plus: we respond to a letter about department leaders who are obsessed with bean-counting of grant dollars and impact factors.

In the past decade, scientists in psychology and elsewhere have changed a lot in how we evaluate what makes research replicable, robust, and credible. New theories and findings in metascience and methodology - and repopularization of old ones - have given us new ways to think critically about research. But what do we do when these concepts and arguments are used poorly or bad faith - applied wrongly or selectively, or misused to sow broad doubt in science? In this episode we talk about what happens when people try to claim the mantle of open science to advance some other agenda. How can we distinguish good use of open-science arguments from bad? How can scientists who care about open science effectively call out these arguments? Plus: A letter about negotiating for a partner who has a non-academic job.

Editors of scientific journals have a lot of power. For one thing, journals are the main way that scientific work is distributed, so editors' decisions control the flow of information among scientists and to the public. For another, publications are probably the single most consequential product in evaluating scientists for jobs and career advancement. Simine just wrapped up a term as an editor of a journal, and in this episode she reflects on how much power she had, why it was probably too much, and what she could do next about that. Her big idea is to "flip" herself - dedicate her time and energy to posting open reviews of preprints. Preprints are a way for scientists to distribute their work outside of the control of gatekeepers, and we talk about the promises and the perils of open reviewing and how Simine plans to do it in a principled and ethical way. Plus: We answer a letter about talking to colleagues outside the "open science bubble."

Continuing an annual tradition, for our last episode of 2018 we talk about noteworthy events and reflections from our lives in the past year. Alexa finds that she's growing more sentimental with age. Alexa and Sanjay commune over rediscovering reading books for pleasure. Sanjay muses about the legitimate benefits of taking a sabbatical. Simine reflects on the joys of meeting new people and reinventing yourself on the road.

Many psychologists study the brain or the body in relation to the mind. Alexa once thought psychophysiology and neuroscience would become a central part of her research; Sanjay flirted with the idea; Simine never seriously considered it. In this episode, we talk about how we see neuroscience and psychophysiology in relation to our own work. How well would those areas integrate into the research each of us does? What sorts of psychological questions are they not particularly well suited for? What do we think they are good for? What kinds of things do we learn from our colleagues who've made studying the brain and body a central part of what they do? Plus: A letter about avoiding taking money from funders who go against your values.

In this episode we tell personal stories about being different, and we reflect on how our identities and experiences - in life and in professional spheres - have been shaped by that. Sanjay talks about growing up multiracial and trying to figure out what that meant while the world was trying to define it for him. Simine talks about not conforming to gender expectations and the assumptions and reality about sexual orientation that go with that. Alexa talks about how her understanding of her own romantic and sexual attractions and interests evolved over time and how she started dating women. Along the way we identify some common themes in our experiences: Feeling constrained by the neat little boxes the world gives us, even when it's an expanded set of boxes. The tension between wanting to assert an important part of your identity and not wanting to claim experiences that the world will assume you had. And the importance of getting to tell your own story. Plus: This week's letter is about what to do when reviewers and committee members send you on wild goose chases. And we have a very serious discussion about pooping in the woods.

Simine Vazire is a professor of psychology, the author of the blog, "Sometimes I'm Wrong," and a major advocate for improving the field of psychology. She and Julia discuss several potential objections to Simine's goal, how to handle criticism, and Simine's psychology research on the question: How self-aware are people about the way they behave?

In this episode we explore the relationship between creativity and rigor. Some psychologists have commented that they at odds, others have suggested that you can pursue one independent of the other. We examine the argument that expecting research to be rigorous gets in the way of creativity. What makes a scientific idea creative, and how is that different from creativity in other domains? Can people be creative in the ways they try to be rigorous? Are creative ideas more prestigious than rigorous methods? Have cheap ideas given a bad name to scientific creativity, and have bad criticisms given a bad name to rigor?

Welcome to Episode 8, where I talk to SIMINE VAZIRE, Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of California at Davis, about the stability of personality, our ability to know ourselves, and some of the nuances within the prescriptive advice of the Open Science Movement.    Simine wears a number of different hats. In recent years, she’s been at or near the center of ongoing conversations among scientists about the virtues and challenges of open science. As part of this work, she co-founded the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS) and co-hosts a science podcast (with Sanjay Srivastava and Alexa Tullett) called THE BLACK GOAT. Simine is also editor in chief of the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science and a senior editor at Collabra.    Interestingly, Simine has also been a part of the conversation about the process of criticism in science. As most listeners well know, criticism is unquestionably essential if science is going to be self-correcting (which is of course the whole point!). One question the field has been grappling with is the point at which criticism crosses over into harassment and bullying—a question at the heart of a recent op-ed Simine wrote for Slate.   I have my own thoughts on this question, which I’ll save for another time, but one of the reasons I was so keen to ask Simine to be on Circle of Willis is that I find her approach to grappling with such questions to be equal parts humble, charitable, and firm. She isn’t likely to allow a legitimate criticism to be brushed aside in order to avoid hurting someone's feelings, but neither is she going to participate in (or for that matter tolerate) bullying. I think that in our age of shoot-from-the-hip outrage, that can be a hard path to find, let alone walk, and I genuinely admire her efforts.   There are many other things I love about Simine, but as you’ll hear in this episode, at or near the top of the list of her agreeable traits is that she’ll be the first to tell any of you that sometimes she’s wrong. We try to be right while tolerating (and admitting to) our mistakes.    Oh, and — seriously — keep a notepad handy for this episode. Simine is unusually quotable!   *    *    *   As always, remember that this podcast is brought to you by VQR and the Center for Media and Citizenship.

Hi Everyone! The SIMINE VAZIRE episode is coming soon, but it isn't quite ready for release yet. In the meantime, here's a short clip from our conversation about Simine's role in the movement to improve psychological science. More soon! Jim

Previously we've talked about judging the scientist by their science. Today we turn the question around: When should you judge a piece of scientific work based on what you know about the person who did it? We examine the arguments for why an author's track record should and shouldn't matter in judging their work. What are the pros and cons of masking authors' identities from reviewers and editors? How do we simultaneously manage validity and bias, and reconcile those things with a broader concept of fairness? And also: This week's letter is about what to do when your findings fail to replicate.  Discussed in this episode: Simine's paper  Quality Uncertainty Erodes Trust in Science And the Akerlof paper that inspired it Principles for the Validation and Use of Personnel Selection Procedures by the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology Graduate Admission Variables and Future Success by Robyn Dawes The Black Goat is hosted by Sanjay Srivastava, Alexa Tullett, and Simine Vazire.

Everybody's talking about p-values. An important part of the replicability discussion has been about the correct use and interpretation of p-values, and the potentially distorting incentives attached to getting one below .05. And recently, Simine was a co-author on a paper proposing to redefine the interpretive threshold for calling something "significant." In this episode we talk about p-values: our feelings about them, how we were taught to think about them and how that has changed over the years, and the role of thresholds and categorization of evidence in our scientific thinking. Plus: A letter-writer asks if you should put more faith in the "pre-crisis" early work of present-day open science advocates. Discussed in this episode: Shiny app showing the distribution of p-values, by Kristoffer Magnusson Redefine Statistical Significance by Benjamin et al. And the responses: Justify Your Alpha by Lakens et al., and Abandon Statistical Significance by McShane et al. The Black Goat is hosted by Sanjay Srivastava, Alexa Tullett, and Simine Vazire.

Alexa studies how our beliefs change them over time. Simine studies self-knowledge and what others know about us. And Sanjay studies lifespan development. So this episode we are going to go full me-search and talk about what we were like as kids, how we’re the same and how we have changed into who we are now. Were any of us cool in high school? (Spoiler: No.) And how did going into academia change who we were? And in our letter of the week, we talk about how to keep up with what can seem like a firehose of new methods and practices in science.

When you're faculty at a research university, you get mixed messages about teaching: it's a big part of the job, but you get all kinds of not-so-subtle messages that you are supposed to think of yourself as a researcher first. In today's episode, we talk about where teaching fits into our identities and values, and how that has evolved over our careers. Alexa talks about her experiences volunteering to teach in a prison; Simine tells how she found a way to be her quiet, skeptical self in front of hundreds of people; and Sanjay talks about looking for the overlap between rigor and showmanship. Also: In our letter of the week, we answer a question about doing professional service for scientific societies and how that looks on the job market.

It's job market season in the United States. What goes in an application? How should you practice and prepare for a job talk? The Q&A after the talk? What happens during the campus interview? How do you get ready for it? What should you wear? What do you do after it's all done? We share some of our experiences from both sides of the process, including a couple of disaster stories. Also, keeping with the theme, our letter of the week is about whether to apply narrowly or broadly. Plus, for the first time ever we are recording all together in the same place! - and Simine shares her discomfort at the furniture.

The Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science, or SIPS, held its second conference July 30 - August 1, 2017. SIPS is a new organization that works to improve methods and practices in psychology. The conference is unlike a typical academic meeting -- instead of symposia and keyones, the schedule is filled with hackathons, unconferences, and more. In the first part of this episode, we talk about where SIPS came from and what it is all about. Then we present conversations that we recorded with SIPS attendees. Interviews: Alexa talks to three SIPS veterans: Brett Mercier, Dylan Wiwad, and Alex Uzdavines. Simine talks to Mike Frank and Brian Nosek about whether there is space for morality and politics in science. Sanjay talks to Rich Lucas, Bill Chopik, and Katie Corker about unconferences, Spartans, and beer city USA. Alexa talk to Danielle Young, Joanna Schug, and Leigh Wilton about whether you can be a productive researcher and keep up with Netflix. Simine talks to Rodica Damian, Cory Costello, & Dan Morgan about the worst thing about SIPS. Sanjay talks to Koji Takahashi, and Nick Mikulak about optimism vs. pessimism Alexa talks to Melissa Kline about memorable SIPS moments. Simine talks to Roger Giner-Sorolla, Michèle Nuijten, and Eric Vanman about interesting conversations, and a new goat mascot. Sanjay talks to Ivy Onyeador, Alex Danvers, and Victor Keller about diversity, scientific self-correction, and their favorite member of The Black Goat.

When a group of "natural philosophers" got together to found the Royal Society in 1660 - now the oldest scientific society in the world - they chose as their motto a Latin phrase meaning "Take nobody's word for it." In today's episode we talk about the role of trust in science. Trust can mean many things, and we talk about its tension with scientific verifiability, people's desire for trusting relationships and culture in their field, and the practical value of trust in doing our work. Plus: A letter about whether pressures to fit the mold of a job description or graduate program lead to impostor syndrome. Simine and Sanjay debrief on the ARP conference. And Alexa asks what's more intellectual, poker or chess? Links: Association for Research in Personality (ARP) conference "What is the value of social science?

Have you ever experienced impostor syndrome? Meta-impostor syndrome (everyone else just has impostor syndrome but you're right about yourself)? We talk about mental health and all the ways you can feel terrible as an academic. In our opening segment we discuss Alexa's brush with a misconduct case, Simine's new article on how journal articles are like new cars, and a reviewer getting in trouble for wanting to see data. And in our letter of the week, what do you do when a reviewer tells you to HARK? Articles and blog posts discussed in this episode: Duplicating Data: The View Before Hindsight Looking Under the Hood Peer-review activists push psychology journals towards open data The Black Goat is hosted by Sanjay Srivastava, Alexa Tullett, and Simine Vazire.
