Meet our new collaborator: Arabs in Neuroscience (AiN)! Together, we'll work towards reducing barriers to neuroscience research and teaching in developing countries. Special thanks to Mohamed Abdelhack محمد عبدالحق for making this possible! See our amazing collaborators here: abrirpsy.org/our-collaborat…

We did not expect that we would last this long, and especially that we would receive another grant for our projects. This is to all those psychological scientists from the #GlobalSouth : We can move these barriers together! Join ABRIR (it's free) ❤️

1/6 I am excited to introduce BayesBlend, a Python library we have built at Ledger that implements model averaging of Bayesian models! BayesBlend can estimate model weights using pseudo-BMA, stacking, and hierarchical stacking, then blend together candidate model predictions 🤓

Excited to share that our paper introducing the REFORMS checklist is now out Science Advances!

In it, we:
- review common errors in ML for science
- create a checklist of 32 items applicable across disciplines
- provide in-depth guidelines for each item
