SUMMARY:Moving towards a more cumulative science in developmental psychology by Dr Michael C. Frank
DESCRIPTION:To join the talk\, follow this link.  \n \nAbout the speaker \nMichael C. Frank is David and Lucile Packard Professor of Human Biology at Stanford University and Director of the Symbolic Systems Program. He received his PhD from MIT in Brain and Cognitive Sciences in 2010. He studies language use and language learning\, focusing especially on early word learning. He is the founder of the ManyBabies Consortium\, a collaborative replication network for infancy research\, and has led open-data projects including Wordbank and MetaLab. He was a Jacobs Foundation Fellow and has received the Troland Award from the National Academy of Sciences\, the FABBS Early Career Impact Award\, and the Marr Prize and Glushko Dissertation Prize from the Cognitive Science Society. He served as Chair of the Governing Board of the Cognitive Science Society and has edited for journals including Cognition and Child Development. You can find Michael on Twitter\, his website\, and his blog. \nAbout the talk \nIn recent years\, many psychologists have become increasingly concerned about issues of reproducibility and replicability. From small sample sizes to post-hoc analytic flexibility (“p-hacking”)\, many factors conspire to decrease the robustness and trustworthiness of results in published research. These problems are important in developmental psychology as well\, though the scope of the problem is unknown. The speaker will present some scientific and meta-scientific work he has done on these issues (including progress on the ManyBabies project\, a large collaborative replication project in the infancy field) and describe some practical steps to take for increasing the robustness of your own work. \nTo join the talk\, follow this link.

SUMMARY:Registration: Shortcomings\, deviations\, solutions by Dr Robert Thibault
DESCRIPTION:About the speaker \nDr Thibault studies how to increase the reliability and efficiency of scientific research. He is also interested in promoting evidence-based decision making and encouraging the public uptake of science. He completed a PhD in cognitive neuroscience at McGill University in 2019. His doctoral work focused on brain imaging\, including neurofeedback\, placebos\, and suggestion. His book Casting Light on The Dark Side of Brain Imaging\, co-edited with Dr Amir Raz\, is available here. Dr Thibault also works as a consultant on topics related to neurofeedback and experimental design. In his spare time\, he enjoys rock climbing and other outdoor activities. \nAbout the talk \nIn this talk\, Dr Thibault will go through his recent work investigating the shortcomings to study/clinical trial registration and will touch on proposed solutions. One highlight of the talk will be his recent scoping review of discrepancy reviews – i.e.\, studies that have assessed undisclosed discrepancies between the registered protocol and the final publication. We will also learn about proposals for experimental design assistant tools\, and releasing data conditional on the registration of an analysis plan based on blinded data.

SUMMARY:How to become a pseudoscientist by Prof Edzard Ernst
DESCRIPTION:About the speaker \nProfessor Edzard Ernst is Emeritus Professor at the University of Exeter\, where he established the world’s first Chair in complementary medicine in 1993. He has previously been Professor in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) at Hannover Medical School (Germany ) and Head of the PMR Department at the University of Vienna (Austria). He is an extremely prolific author\, with over 1000 publications in scientific journals\, over 50 books in press (most notably\, Trick or Treatment? Alternative Medicine on Trial with Simon Singh)\, and numerous collaborations as a columnist. He founded and has been Editor-in-Chief for Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies and Perfusion\, and served as EIC for the European Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. \nErnst is the recipient of 17 scientific awards and 2 Visiting Professorships. He served on the Medicines Commision of the British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. His last 25 years of career have been focused on the critical scrutiny of alternative medicine in both academic and outreach settings. He currently lives between Cambridge (UK) and Brittany (France). \nAbout the talk \nTimes are hard\, not least for scientists! It seems therefore wise to consider alternative career paths. Why not become a pseudoscientist? Even though there is plenty of competition\, pseudoscientists can lead a fulfilled and happy life – and the income will exceed that of a scientist manyfold. \nSo-called alternative medicine (SCAM) has long attracted an unusually high percentage of pseudoscientists. Having observed many of them for almost 30 years\, I feel I am in a good position to reveal some of the tricks and strategies that helped them succeed. I have thus condensed them into my nine lessons for beginners: \n\nInvent a bizarre theory\nAbuse the tools of science to confirm your theory\nAvoid facts and use fallacies instead\nMake as many bogus claims as you can get away with\nPerfect your cherry-picking skills\nClaim that you have found a panacea\nCharge exorbitant fees\nBe economical with the truth\nWhen found out\, go on the attack\n\nI am confident that my nine lessons will lead anyone who follows them rigorously to a successful career in pseudoscience. Good luck!

SUMMARY:The best theory is a flawed one by Dr Ian Hussey
DESCRIPTION:About the speaker  \nIan’s research interests centre on behaviours that have traditionally been difficult to understand\, measure\, predict and influence\, including implicit bias and suicidal behaviour. He is interested in function of behavior and the context it occurs in context (Behaviorism)\, measurement validity\, statistical modelling (often Bayesian)\, and all things R/tidyverse. He is a strong proponent of Open Science practices\, and won a 2019 commendation from the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS). Find out more about Ian via his website. \nAbout the talk  \nIan discusses the ensuing theory crisis in social science research\, which takes the form of theories that are so elastic they’re unfalsifiable and – what’s worse – it is the interests of researchers to keep their theories going\, ushering in yet more grant more and preserving their independent research brand. He draws particularly upon examples from his research in implicit bias.

SUMMARY:A new way of publishing: Registered Reports 2.0 by Dr Charlotte Pennington
DESCRIPTION:To join the event\, follow this link.\n \n \nAbout the speaker \nDr Charlotte Pennington is a Lecturer in Psychology at Aston University\, with research interests in addictive behaviour and social cognition. She is Aston’s Local Network Lead of the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) and serves on the Editorial Boards of Addiction Research & Theory and Peer Community In Registered Reports. \nAbout the talk \nGrowing concerns of replicability and reproducibility have ushered in fast-paced changes to scientific reform under the umbrella term of ‘open science’. We now understand that such concerns stem from academic incentives that reward novel surprising results and quantity over quality which fuel a range of questionable research practices. Study preregistration and Registered Reports (RRs) represent two open science initiatives that aim to improve research quality and rigour\, and emerging empirical research demonstrates their effectiveness. However\, neither are perfect. This talk will outline study preregistration and the standard Registered Report model before introducing a new form of Registered Reports that reshape academic publishing – Peer Community In Registered Reports (PCI RR). PCI RR is a community-driven initiative that reviews and recommends RRs across the full spectrum of STEM\, medicine\, social sciences\, and humanities. Upon receiving In Principle Acceptance (IPA) of a Stage 1 manuscript\, authors are then free to choose from a range of ‘PCI friendly journals’ who agree to publish the Stage 2 manuscript without the need for additional peer review. PCI RRs\, therefore\, represent an exciting new way of publishing that puts the authors back in control. \nTo join the event\, follow this link.

SUMMARY:Restoring Invisible and Abandoned Trials (RIAT) by Dr Anisa Rowhani-Farid
DESCRIPTION:To register for the event\, follow this link.  \n \nAbout the speaker\nAnisa Rowhani-Farid PhD\, MPH is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Restoring Invisible and Abandoned Trials initiative (RIAT) at the Pharmaceutical Health Services Research Department at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. She has a broad background in medical science and public health\, with specific training in research on research (known as meta-research). Her research aims to strengthen the regulation of clinical research and promote open research\, making science more reliable\, trustworthy\,  verifiable\, transparent\, and robust. She did her first postdoctoral fellowship in research integrity and transparency at the Collaboration for Research Integrity and Transparency at the Yale Law School\, School of Medicine and School of Public Health\, and at the Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation at the Yale School of Medicine.  Anisa received her doctorate from the Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane\, Australia. The title of her thesis was: Towards a culture of open science and data sharing in health and medical research. \nAbout the talk\nRestoring Invisible and Abandoned Trials (RIAT) is an international effort to tackle bias in the way research is reported with the goal of providing more accurate information to patients and other healthcare decision-makers. When the original investigators or sponsors do not correct misreporting\, or even leave the entire trial unpublished\, they can be considered to have abandoned their trial. The downstream effects can be substantial\, drawing false conclusions about the effectiveness and safety of medical interventions. The RIAT initiative offers a methodology that allows other people to responsibly correct the record. Anisa will be talking about the work of RIAT as well as her own work in meta-research. \nTo register for the event\, follow this link.  \n

SUMMARY:Brain-wide association studies: Current challenges and future directions by Dr Scott Marek & Dr Brenden Tervo-Clemmens
DESCRIPTION:To join the talk\, follow this link.\n \n \nAbout the speakers \nDr Tervo-Clemmens is a postdoctoral fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on understanding the emergence of psychopathology and substance use during adolescence and uses techniques from cognitive neuroscience\, developmental psychopathology research\, and data science. He is also engaged in methodological research aiming to evaluate and improve the reproducibility and ultimately\, clinical utility\, of large-scale fMRI research in neurodevelopmental studies. His work is supported by a Massachusetts General Hospital and National Institute on Drug Abuse Career Development Award and an early career award from the American Psychological Foundation. \nDr Marek is an Instructor in the Psychiatry Department at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. His research focuses on pediatric neuroimaging\, precision functional imaging of individual brains\, and best practices for reproducible research. Dr Marek leverages very large sample size datasets to understand population-level links between the brain and non-brain factors\, as well as small sample size datasets with deep phenotyping to understand what makes a brain unique.  His work is supported by the National Institute of Mental Health. \nAbout the talk \nMental health research and care have yet to realize substantive advances from Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)\, despite wide-spread and increasing use MRI and functional MRI in translational neuroscience. A primary challenge to such translational insights has been replicating associations between inter-individual differences in brain structure or function and complex cognitive or mental health phenotypes (brain-wide association studies (BWAS)). We will discuss our recent work demonstrating that a historical reliance on small sample sizes in neuroimaging can parsimoniously explain such BWAS replication failures across common\, cross-sectional brain-phenotype linkage methods. Within the context of these results\, additional discussion will focus on considerations and priorities for future BWAS and non-BWAS approaches to translational brain-behavior linkages. \nTo join the talk\, follow this link.

SUMMARY:Species agnostic tools for translational MRI processing by Dr Eilidh MacNicol
DESCRIPTION:To join the talk\, follow this link. \n \nAbout the speaker \nEilidh studied neuroscience at the University of Glasgow before coming to study neuroimaging at King’s College London. Her PhD research used MRI to investigate how brain networks change in healthy ageing. During this time\, she became interested in extending processing tools developed for human data to be species agnostic\, and supporting open science and reproducibility in the preclinical MRI community. In her current role as a postdoctoral researcher\, she continues to apply network-based analysis methods to MRI data with the aim of modelling brain changes over time. You can find out more about Eilidh on Twitter and her website. \nAbout the talk \nMany tools that prepare neuroimaging data for analysis assume the input data are from adult humans and rely on assumptions that are not appropriate for other populations (e.g.\, human babies or non-human subjects). Researchers working with these populations make ad hoc adaptions to make their data compatible\, but these choices may impact outcomes. These choices diverge workflows based on species\, reducing MRI’s translational appeal\, and raise concerns for reproducibility between groups. fMRIPrep and MRIQC are standardised workflows for transparent processing of human neuroimaging data. This talk will describe how these tools are being extended to include non-human data and why making our workflows species-agnostic can benefit everyone. \nTo join the talk\, follow this link.
