Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

We already know that lagged effects in CLPMs are likely to be upwardly biased, but just how easy is it to find significant effects? Way too easy. I tested CLPMS in 100 randomly selected pairs of correlated variables and found significant effects in 98 of them. New preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

My ballot was counted this year, but in a previous election is was rejected and I had to fix it — just took a couple of minutes. Make sure yours was counted Seattle! info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

The question "Why does this say male/female?" means that any trans person now has to explain their entire mental health and medical history to domestic or foreign government officials. This is de facto differential treatment that no other citizen has to face.

Director Bhattacharya "Let's fund emerging investigators" Yeah, who's the idiot running NIH who allowed 15% or few fewer early stage investigators be funded in FY2025 compared to FY2024? (Estimate: The official numbers are not yet available (at least publicly)

Thinking about this Mary Oliver poem this morning. Don't hesitate.

I was so proud to drop my ballot off at the Dropbox with my vote for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social for Mayor in Seattle! Go Katie go! (also mail in voting for the win!)

I think helpful to share, but with care. I used to review K99s almost every cycle, and I would occasionally post general threads of advice in response to questions but would be careful to do so in between panels and make clear it was advice based on aggregated experience, not any one app.

Reminder, do not only work on #NIHGrant study section reviews with the online forms. Keep a document with your critiques. Cancelled meetings are removed from IAR view and potentially are unrecoverably scrubbed.

Walking around our neighborhood, saying hi to other families we know from our elementary school, stopping at houses throwing parties, or figuring out which houses are giving out hot buttered rum or brisket... Neighborhood Halloween is incredible. The candy is the least part of it.

I wrote about my experience working with @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social at the MASS Coalition years ago to win major walking, biking, and transit improvements. Give it a read and let me know what you think: www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/co...

Most important, contra Westneat and Horsey, who seem to think this race is about grievance and anger: it’s really about hope. Hundreds of volunteers are out knocking on doors every week because they share our positive vision for Seattle's future. #ThisIsYOURCity

Students: Trick or Treat! Me: Life is completely fair and a perfect meritocracy. Students: AHHH!! Treat instead! Me: Here are some raisins.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up. "But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

Fully agreed. And I don't give a fuck what else they buy with whatever money they have. Everyone deserves to feel good and happy in their lives. And I'd rather have more fraud than deny a deserving person food. The very definition of "public good".

The Central Cinema popcorn bike was stolen again! Keep an eye out. This thing has hauled a LOT of food for Byrd Barr Place food bank in recent years. From IG:

Good threads. We used SESOIs pretty extensively in our recent registered reports (e.g. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...). We found plenty of "significant" effects, but ones that were smaller than our SESOI. 1/4

Are you a US-based PhD student WITHOUT summer funding who is interested in adolescent development, trans youth, and/or gender? Reach out to me about applying to join my lab in Summer 2026 for the VIPS program! psych.princeton.edu/diversity/vi...

A reminder that I’m accepting applications for PhD students!

Well reported story on the PBS News Hour about science cuts and the ongoing and potential brain drain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO... Thanks to Terrance Tao and other scientists at various career stages for having the courage to speak out. Watch and share! 1/7

Fwiw, just "CON" is a reserved name. You can name files in Windows "CON.anything"—this seems to be a bug in whatever programming environment you use.

I just spent 16+ hours trying to debug a saveRDS command. ```saveRDS(con.out, "Hyak/glmms/con.tmp.rds") ``` would run without an error, but the file would never show up in the Windows folder. 1/3

AI agents tried to do graphic design, video editing, game development, and administrative chores like scraping data. "Even the best could perform less than 3 percent of the work, earning $1,810 out of a possible $143,991," writes @willknight.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/ai-age...

If one more dude (and it’s always a dude) tells me that I can solve all the complex issues of normalizing datasets from a couple thousand different organizations, none of which use the same coding and most of which change their own approaches over time, with a goddamned LLM, my head will explode

This interview with the UT Austin provost is terrifying. So many empty arguments about intellectual diversity.

Most scientists have more potential research directions than they can pursue. They choose which paths to pursue. And part of this is deciding which paths are most likely to be fundable.

Wow. @mehr.nz not holding back. Great job Sam, you're really speaking truth to power. Killing funding for science holds countries back.

I just got around to actually reading this @kuow.org piece on me, and there’s ANOTHER major inaccuracy, beyond the "parents pay my bills" bit. 🧵

In the Seattle mayoral race, the incumbent candidate Bruce Harrell is attacking the progressive challenger because *checks notes* she had her parents help with childcare during the campaign. It's insane.

I'm at UW's Kane Hall tonight for a panel hosted by the right-wing Washington Policy Center on the "Future of Public Transportation in Washington." The panel is made up of three old white guys, two of whom are retired.

A patient once told my wife (an NP): "I just farted. Do you smell it?" "No?!?" "Oh. You're gonna."

Interesting new special issue in Psychological Assessment. Edited by Kristin Naragon-Gainey and @kstanton.bsky.social Here's their overview paper: psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-... And here's our contribution, which will win us no friends: psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

Great framing.

Remember. The biggest beneficiaries of food stamps are companies like Amazon, Walmart, and McDonald's. We're subsidizing these companies so they don't have to pay a living wage. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

Nice post about multiverse analysis. We've done a few papers, and I think I always fall back to the question of exchangeability. And exchangeable according to who? 1/

Remember that if you don't have any hypotheses prior to engaging with your data, you don't have any hypotheses.

AI in the streets ML in the sheets

I’m a drug use researcher and I’m here to assure you in very strong terms that blasting boats to smithereens is not an “anti-drug strategy” in any way, form, or fashion.

when all this is over we need to have a pretty serious conversation about the utter moral failure of the elite of this country

Loved this episode of @guruspod.bsky.social w @philippmarkolin.bsky.social on the Covid origin conspiracy. It’s wild the lab leak theory has almost become mainstream - this will help you understand how organized conspiracy theorists plotted the discourse and won influence pca.st/episode/eacb...

You know who can stop this? The workers running the equipment. The architects. The contractors. Throw sand in the gears. This is the moment.

We made an infographic summarizing some emerging patterns using SeaTac geospatial data and exploring participants’ lived experiences in our neighborhoods. Our project coordinator hates the photo bc my phone is old (so I cropped her), but this is us presenting these data at a conference this summer.
