Your phone is eating your brain's RAM even when it's completely turned off. In Ep 5 of Antisocial Scientists, we tackle the "brain drain" effect, how your phone pushes you into lazy System 1 thinking , and why a smartwatch is basically "the vape of the smoking world".

In 2005, John P. A. Ioannidis published a paper ooutlining how certain biases in our publishing infastructure mean that the majority of research findings are likely false. Do you think that's still the case?

#Software usage and citation in #RetractedArticles differs from other articles.

The results of our analysis of 3271 retracted articles and 1924 retraction notices are finally published @QSS_ISSI
https://doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_00275

Retracted articles use less free and open-source software and cite it worse

Abstract. As an essential mechanism of scientific self-correction, articles are retracted for many reasons including errors in processing data and computation of results. In today’s data-driven science, the validity of research data and results significantly depends on the software employed. We investigate the relationship between software usage and research validity, eventually leading to article retraction, by analyzing software mentioned across 1,924 retraction notices and 3,271 retracted articles. We systematically compare software mentions and related information with control articles sampled by Coarsened Exact Matching by recognizing publication year, scientific domain, and journal rank. We identify article retractions caused by software errors or misuse and find that retracted articles use fewer free and open-source software hampering reproducible research and quality control. Moreover, such differences are also present concerning software citation, where retracted articles less frequently follow software citation guidelines regarding free and open-source software.Peer Review. https://www.webofscience.com/api/gateway/wos/peer-review/10.1162/qss_a_00275

Is Butter Back?
Systematic Review finds that consuming butter has no connection to increased mortality, cardiovascular events, and diabetes.

Is Butter Back? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Butter Consumption and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, and Total Mortality - PubMed

This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests relatively small or neutral overall associations of butter with mortality, CVD, and diabetes. These findings do not support a need for major emphasis in dietary guidelines on either increasing or decreasing butter consumption, in comparison to other …
