Another kak day in Africa ☀️🏏

Went for a morning drive in Kruger National Park (South Africa) with @andreafuller.bsky.social Found a few lion cubs soaking up the morning rays of sunlight.

Irrefutable evidence for the labeled line theory of sensory coding. At least, that’s how it feels to the brilliant illustrator @christophniemann.bsky.social

Fantastic few days in the Kruger National Park showing some Aussie friends a bit of Africa. With @kamermanpr.bsky.social

🌲 not reproducible ≠ wrong/false/fluke reproducible ≠ true not reproducible ≠ poor science reproducible ≠ good science reproducibility of results is not a reliable indicator of truth/research quality/epistemic progress. replication of a poorly designed study is another poorly designed study. 🌲

Teaching stats & research methods to undergrad medical students is soul destroying. But catch them later in their career, especially the ones who've developed an interest in research, & it can be very rewarding. We need to rethink when & how we offer research training to medics.

Great afternoon to watch my daughter play #cricket

It's really cool to see so many networks reforming, and new ones popping up. Many thanks for all the new "follows". I guess if I have one key message to share, it's that sometimes you just have to become your own (not a real) statistician. statsepi.substack.com/p/im-not-a-r...

I started (at @katesadlerphd.bsky.social's suggestion, thanks Kate for pushing me) a pain neuroscience and pain research starter pack. I am sure I have missed many people so if I missed you, I am sorry, but please just ask me to add you in the thread below and I will do that. go.bsky.app/KboKNhg
