100% agree. For example: "Instead, what you get is a piece making the various more or less bovine noises of studious grey-lady impartiality, with the labor of anything resembling 'appraisal' surgically excised."

Hi #PsychSciSky! As I've been writing letters of rec, I'm curious if folks have tips/advice to share about their process. Is there anything you've found to be especially helpful? Do you ask your student/trainee for feedback, etc.? Would love to hear what you've learned over time!

Excited this one is getting out there! A thread/teaser🧵

I'm reviewing applications to the Clinical Psych Ph.D. program at the University of Louisville this year. Please consider applying if you're interested in studying processes of change ♻️, treatment personalization 🙋🏻, ACT 💪🏼, PBT 📦, OCRDs 💭, and/or digital mental health 📱! More info at poislab.com.

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.

I saw a post on Facebook yesterday about a swan frozen to the ice on Reykjavík pond. People were wondering what could be done and there was a comment from this absolute legend pictured below saying: "I am on my way with the necessary gear". And there is just nothing cooler than people like this.

The basic principle is that reviewers are tired, they're rushed, they're reading your and 10 other grants on top of their normal workload. Anything you can do to make it easy for them will help. Here's a list of my suggestions.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

At last, there's a searchable directory of Bluesky starter packs, courtesy of @mubashariqbal.com! Just one more way third-party developers are helping to make this place better. Search starter packs by keyword, and sort by "Uses" to see which ones people are finding the most helpful

"Mundane Halloween" returns! It's that time of year again, when Japanese website @dailyportalz holds its annual contest to dress up as something super ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2024 contest!

Got the comet, Milky Way, and Venus out at the coast. 📷

A simple thought experiment. Assume your study returns a "null" result. Did you just learn something useful or not? For well-designed studies, the answer to this question is always yes. (ICYMI) statsepi.substack.com/p/dealing-wi...

A Dutch way of saying “we’re on it” or “we’ll take care of that for you” is we zullen dat varkentje wel even wassen. It means “we will certainly get that piglet washed” * read on for more porcine phrases from around the world (a big pig thread)...

I gave a 2-hour workshop on Structural Equation Modeling and Confirmatory Factor Analysis in lavaan for the Psych #rstats Club. the recording is available here: youtu.be/YrxvV8zlNLY?... Supported by @improvingpsych.org!

For the past few years, I've taught dataviz using #rstats + {ggplot2} and the class is free and asynchronous with ≈35 hours of video at datavizf24.classes.andrewheiss.com I also have regular R-based dataviz-related blog posts at www.andrewheiss.com/blog/

Want to learn how to build prediction models in an easy way? Look no further! I am releasing the NLMLapp where you can build person-specific and pooled prediction models with elastic net regularized regression. You can find the browser-based app here: nicolasleenaerts.github.io/NLMLapplive/

Pinning this to the inside of my forehead so I never forget to start writing every lecture and slide deck by thinking about audience motivation.

I'm reviewing applications for the Clinical Psych Ph.D. program at the University of Louisville this fall. If you're interested in studying process-based therapy, ACT, OCRDs, and/or increasing access to treatment, please consider applying to my lab! ✨🎃✨ bit.ly/poisapp #PsychSciSky

📊When teaching or giving a talk, do you like presenting plots step by step, revealing e.g. one group at a time? This is often useful for walking through complex results. I made a R package that makes it extremely easy to do this! ggreveal: Reveal a ggplot incrementally #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2

PSA: All #rstats package on #cran will get an official DOI! This will facilitate bibliometrics and giving credit to R package authors. Registering all 20,000+ packages will still take a few more days. But the first couple of thousand are already live. Example:

🔍 Cherry-picking 👥 Ignoring individual differences 🔗 Overstating causality ⏱️ Simplistic view of screen time 💬 Misunderstanding social media 🌐 Neglecting context ⚠️ Alarmist tone ⚖️ Lacking nuance in interpretation 🇺🇸 Overemphasis on the US 👍 Ignoring positives blogs.lse.ac.uk/parenting4di...

One challenge of being a Black academic is having to constantly explain the obvious role race & racism are playing in a given situation when others seem to want to talk about anything but race and racism. This kind of gaslighting takes its toll and many of us are really fucking tired.

Everyone needs to know about `easystats` in R It is so much fun to use and then share with students Teaching on regression and just used the check_model() function and look at this beautiful figure

The "I only worked 35hrs a week as grad student & am successful, so you should do it too" rationale mistakes work hours for the *one* main factor of academic success: Ability, luck, mentors, resources, family support & many other factors play crucial roles.

Hi #PsychSciSky, our lab has noticed "suspicious" (e.g., difficulty answering demographic Qs from the screener) human responders when we recruit on social media for paid studies, even with a virtual meeting prior to enrollment. Any advice for navigating this? Would appreciate any insight folks have!

APPLICANT PORTAL IS OPEN! Submission link: asfp.io/applicants/s... Submit psych PhD statement drafts by Thursday October 26 and get fast and free feedback from experts!

Open data sharing is a good thing; Protecting participant privacy is a good thing. Sometimes these two good things are in conflict. Our new preprint introduces a decision-making framework and open source tools to help share as openly as possible and as closed as necessary. osf.io/preprints/me...
