@nature.com's first Stage 2 Registered Report has been published! The researchers manipulated #bluesky algorithms to illustrate how social media algorithms impacts intergroup, moralized, and emotional information during the 2024 US election: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
How much sleep should you get to age in a healthy way?! @nature.com paper links sleep duration to 23 biological ageing clocks and finds a U‑shaped pattern: short or long sleep is associated with higher bio-age gaps; the lowest is around ~6.4–7.8h (varies by organ/sex). www.nature.com/articles/s41...
@nature.com is expanding Registered Reports - an article type where the research plan is reviewed prior to conducting the study, and, if it passes peer review, we promise to publish it regardless of the results - to all fields we publish + a broader range of research: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
A recent @nature.com paper uses evidence from thousands of MBA and law cohorts to show that more diverse student groups are associated with higher median salaries at graduation. This is a timely, data‑driven contribution to debates on higher‑ed policy www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Why does cooperation fade—even when incentives are strong? A recent @nature.com paper analyzes real-world group lending data and finds that motivation erodes over time, rebounds when norms are reset, then declines faster each cycle. Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
AI can now scan papers, generate hypotheses, and even help discover drugs—but still relies on something human: judgment, curiosity, and making sense of messy results. The future isn’t AI replacing scientists—it’s amplifying them. Read more in @nature.com's editorial: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Millions of people(including me) turn to LLMs for information and advice. But who shapes their output? A @nature.com paper shows the influence of state controlled media on LLM output. Read all the details in the article here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
I was honored to be featured on @stimulatingbrains.org's podcast, hosted by @andreashorn.org, so please listen if you're interested in scientific publishing or being an editor at @nature.com

I'm not sure how accurate this study is, but found the results interesting "An AI-led analysis of publicly available peer-review reports of Nature Communications papers links requests for major revisions with papers that end up having high impact". www.nature.com/articles/d41...
With the arrival of ‘AI scientists’, it’s as well to remember that human wisdom, empathy and sheer messiness are as much part of progress as are process and efficiency.

Engagement-based feeds amplify intergroup, moralized, emotional (IME) and toxic content relative to reverse-chronological feeds, and a diversified extremity algorithm reduces exposure to IME and toxic...

Registered Reports improve the credibility of scientific claims by rewarding big questions, sound methods and solid analyses. They need to become a standard tool in research.
