I made a tiny tool for quickly sharing small datasets (< ~1000 rows) without uploading any data to a server. 🔗 ziptbl.com It compresses the data into the link itself, so there’s no account, hosting, or storage layer involved. Here's Florence Nightingale's famous 📊 data: ziptbl.com#d=eNpdlE-LGz...

New paper led by @drlynam.bsky.social on the need for more training in and engagement with open science practices in clinical psych programs. It has been difficult to make progress due to a variety of barriers, including students working in labs uninterested or hostile to these approaches.

Seems like a good time to be working on a [checks file] T32

As I am going over old blog posts, here is a nice blog by @bwroberts.bsky.social on qualities in graduate students that, in his opinion, lead to a successful career in academia. Still very good advice. pigee.wordpress.com/2012/11/08/a...

@drandreahoward.bsky.social, hold my beer.. Latent class growth models are worse than useless, and we've known this for more than 20 years. (See Bauer 2007)

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

We've learned a lot more about the principal drivers of age-related diseases in the past few weeks. And the leads to a unified model to put it all together. (open-access) erictopol.substack.com/p/the-driver...

Why is socioeconomic status used in every introduction to factor analysis. I can hardly think of a worse thing to measure using factor analysis than SES

📣 It's been a minute, but wanted to hop on here to let folks know that I'll be offering the Quant Methods for Meta-analysis workshop again this year (July 7th-8th; smart-workshops.com/meta-info). Check out the link to get a feel for what we'll cover, but I also have some info below 👇 1/3

🧪 Since now there's round 3 of NSF grant terminations, it is yet *again* a good time to repost this. So far has been an every Friday thing for the past 3 weeks...

The Spencer Foundation is offering rapid response bridge funding for those who lost NSF research grants. www.spencer.org/grant_types/...

The unexpected elimination of funding for the decades-long research project focused on women's health shocked scientists. They were heartened by the quick restoration of support.

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees: Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and… 1. Download your NSF award letters. 2. Print PDF your annual reports. 3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports. NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov

I received this letter, sent to 11 Republican members of Congress this weekend from anonymous NIHers. 1/n .

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

🗣️ Please share this call widely to support early career opportunities for folks in biobehavioral medicine, health psychology, or related disciplines!

Call for collaborators! We are launching the Replicability Project: Health Behavior (RPHB) to replicate a sample of findings relevant to public health, epidemiology, health policy, and behavioral science. Teams receive funding for conducting replication studies. Details: www.cos.io/rphb

Journals have been so captured by metrics like impact factor and time-to-decision that they can't even conceive of the idea that scholars might choose a journal based on how good it is! For example, do the editors and reviews provide good feedback, have good judgment, and do they have integrity?

Keep posted: we’ll be advertising two fully funded PhDs soon on (1) inequalities, poverty and suicide risk and (2) suicide risk in agricultural communities
