Cold War is easily one of my fav films. 90minutes of perfection.

Tired of happily ever afters? If you've seen caustic marriage comedy THE ROSES in cinemas and are looking for something else to watch, our Curzon Home Cinema collection Love Will Tear Us Apart features a series of breakup films, including A SEPARATION, COLD WAR and GLORIA BELL.

The smartest decision I made on this project was inviting Matteo in as a co-author :) I can't think of a better person to have worked on this with.

Excited to finally have in my hands a copy of our new book Statistics for Psychology Using R: A Linear Models Perspective (written with Alasdair Clarke, not on bsky) !! 📘 www.mheducation.co.uk/statistics-f... #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #statistics #statssky @rhulpsychology.bsky.social

I went to Warwick back in the day I knew nothing of the brand, but my dad told me they had a good mathematics department. I'm pretty sure this new branding would have put me right off applying, and I probably would have gone to Edinburgh instead.

My book with Matteo Lisi is now out and available! www.mheducation.co.uk/statistics-f...

I have been editor for many Registered Reports and many traditional articles, and it is truly amazing how null results suddenly appear all over the place in Registered Reports. Almost as if there is some problem with our traditional approach. Someone should look into that.

Since the birth of my baby daughter, the internet has decided that I am a woman. Is this a sign that new dads rarely search for information about how best to care for their child? Or perhaps marketing people assume that anybody looking up anything about babies must be a woman.

The more I learn about Bayesian modelling & Stan, the stupider I feel.

I've hired a car and am driving again for the first time in years. I'm not enjoying it. My last experience was 20 years ago in Scotland. I'm now living in the South East of England, and the whole experience is horrible. The amount of selfish and dangerous parking on junctions...

@jburnmurdoch.ft.com This isn’t true. The best GenAI turns out essays that are beautifully structured, flawlessly composed - but content neutral; i.e they can’t differentiate between facts, opinions & lies, or parse sarcasm & jokes. AI essays are frequently bizarre or nonsensical. Yes, we can tell.

Hi! Believe it or not our articles get fact-checked 🙂 And what I wrote is based on a growing pile of evidence, such as: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

My latest paper with Amelia Hunt is now available at JEP:General: *Learn More From Your Data With Asymptotic Regression* psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202... I'm quite pleased with this one. I think it is a nice example of how we can deal with confounds due to learning and practise effects.

I'm starting to wonder why the UK's HE sector thinks the government should bail the sector out? Seems like a waste of effort given the 0% attendance. It's a shame the students don't want to turn up as I enjoy teaching.

on my way to Durham to give a seminar.

ULEZ has not negatively impacted High Streets. But it has improved air quality Lots said "it will kill local businesses" The *actual* evidence said no impact This didn't stop the negative press. ?fueled by PR?? Here is more evidence that says same www.centreforcities.org/blog/ulez-ex...

Wish me luck.. I have to go do a 2 hour lecture on Intro p-values to first year psych students.

I'm still not sure the point of this service. At the moment, as I only seem to follow @mgreenephd.bsky.social and @benwolfevision.bsky.social, it feels like I'm just eavesdropping on their conversations about cats and vss.

if a colleague gave a seminar and made a series of claims that you think aren't backed up by the data, would you raise this with them? [the data's all on osf, so I've had a play around]

Hello all. Maybe I should give this new service a shot! I have a new preprint on how asymptotic regression can be a useful tool in a range of cog psych paradigms. That's all... I've never been one for those long twitter-threads outlininig a paper. Just read the abstract! osf.io/preprints/ps...
