To try to make it easier, I created sciencespending.org, which brings together data from five agencies (NIH, NSF, DOE, NASA, and USDA) and different spending categories (new grants, all awards, and obligations) into one place

RFK Jr. has proposed directing 20% of the NIH’s budget to replication. That would be orders of magnitude more than we’ve ever allocated to biomedical replication. How much should we actually spend? And how do we ensure the money is well spent? With @IFP, I investigated the ROI

Duncan Watts (@duncanjwatts), a sociologist and a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, has a great quote that I think speaks to this need:

The exponential growth of scientific papers is muddling the research process, making it harder for important fields to advance. In @statnews today, @jhjelliott and I argue that funding living evidence synthesis could help: statnews.com/2023/03/27/str… 1/7

Strengthen science by funding living evidence synthesis
Greater production of living evidence could have five key benefits for science and society.

I'm really excited to finally have this preprint out in the world. I won't try to improve upon @DaniSBassett's excellent summary thread, but I do want to take a minute to thank a few people who paved the way for this work to exist

New from @jddwor Extent & drivers of gender imbalance in neuroscience reference lists tinyurl.com/yfw26jy2. w/ @Penn_SIVE, @perryzurn, Teich, Linn. Covering issues of bias, ethics, & social behavior vital to all fields grappling with their own visions of an equitable future.

This year's @ICSSIConference showcased the transformative potential of the science-of-science community. To channel that energy and kickstart new interdisciplinary collaborations, @KelloggCSSI and I ran the first Metascience Hackathon

ICSSI 2023: Hacking the Science of Science - Federation of American Scientists
We partnered with Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management to host the first Metascience Hackathon, here's what we learned.

Excited to finally share this work! @DaniSBassett, @Penn_SIVE, and I look at the the network structure of neuroimaging research, and discuss how the field has changed over the past 10 years. And check out goo.gl/EPd3qj to play with the network yourself! (pw: NeuroIm10)

Just up on arXiv, "The landscape of NeuroImage-ing research," led by @jddwor w/ @Penn_SIVE: goo.gl/w9xEpV The work presents a cohesive model for understanding the landscape of neuroimaging research across the field, in broad subfields, and within specific topic areas.

@ProbCausation is exactly this for econ papers on law/crime, and it's fantastic. I keep hoping other fields will pick up the format but I haven't found anything quite like it yet

Should all workers worried about automation learn to code? @iliablinderman and I took a look at the data to see whether easier job transitions might be out there, and wrapped it all into a story that includes Tesla, pipelayers, and sailors. Check it out at pudding.cool/2018/08/retrai…
