These are all the habits I use fwiw.

+ I try to ensure I am reading at minimum 10-20% work led by grad students/early career/fresh voices; you avoid the calcification and sanded-off edges and get much fresher, bolder ideas that way

I've paid for upgraded models. I've used careful prompts to ask for "deep research" on areas of literature. And AI, as of yet, does not do lit reviews better. (I'd never use it for peer review.) It lacks access to important lit. And when I've asked it to review my own material, it produces...(1/2)

Finalizing chapter revisions this morning and having joy about referencing one of my favs: doi.org/10.1080/0046...

I never got to meet Jere Brophy, but I've benefitted so much from his legacy: his writing, certainly, but also the Brophy Fellowship that helped so much during grad school.❤️ #amwriting

A meta-analysis on reducing discrimination finds:
1) passive interventions, such as short-term education or bias reminders, are ineffective
2) targeting behavior directly to inhibit bias (eg making individuals accountable or changing social norms) is helpful

Great new issue of Educational Psychologist just dropped! Wonderful articles on adaptive teaching experience, motivation theory (why do the same theories continue to dominate?), and a new model of goal revision! Available here: www.tandfonline.com/toc/hedp20/c... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Yes I was instructed some time ago that the skull emoji 💀 is what to use instead of lol or 😂 now, but also that I am too old and so not allowed to use it. 🙃

This study used impressive, theory-informed coding and analyses of digital trace data to reveal clusters of students who reliably differed on prior knowledge, motivation, and performance. Great example of building a validity argument. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

🚨New paper alert! We found that major assignments, both in physics and other courses, shape week-to-week motivation in physics. Coursework matters across contexts and motivation is responsive to students' multiple achievement demands.

AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

New paper in PSPB on the benefits of giving positive feedback to students, especially from underrepresented groups. Although not the norm in STEM, giving positive feedback boosts self-efficacy and belonging, which increases STEM performance, attitudes, interest
