I’m reminded that one of my main reasons for starting to do research was finding community. As a new transfer I wanted to meet other people interested in similar things to me. And so this week in lab meeting, we tried Monster+Skyr! Because maybe we don’t have to be super serious all the time.

Everyone should hear this: it is ALWAYS a privilege and a treat for professors to hear from former students and trainees. I love to hear what you have been up to since you were in my lab, class, whatever.

I’m excited to share a new special issue of Psychology of Popular Media focused on ethnic/racial stereotypes. Submit pre-registered reports! Study will be conducted after in-principle acceptance. Deadline: 4.24.26 Call: www.apa.org/pubs/journal... Looking forward to your proposals. Spread the word!

Wrapping up teaching my 7th year of graduate regression 🤯 Over the years I have developed a document I call the "Writing Guide to Linear Regression." I've made some updates to the inferences section, which I continue to develop. Have some good or bad examples? Send them my way! osf.io/egm3c/overview

Spring break is making me yearn for summer 😅. I was able to knock out a whole paper revision today, which felt really good. I only had two meetings (both of which went short). Maybe there is something about this whole uninterrupted work thing that actually helps.

Some times you have to make work a game. And today that game was called “Delete 20 words per paragraph in your paper”. I genuinely did not think I could do this, but it made the whole paper much tighter.

Too glib for my regression class, do you think?

Today I merged branches in the correct direction on my first try, perhaps for the first time in my life. #github

Speaking of #rstats, my buddy Joey Merrin and his colleagues recently published a paper in AMPPS/had an R package "CATAcode" accepted to CRAN. Looks like a banger set of resources to navigate those finicky "choose-all-that-apply" (CATA) survey questions! Check it out!

🧵 If you're looking for a fully funded PhD or Postdoc in Computational Psychiatry, please reach out! We are expanding the lab and tackling some big questions. Here is a thread on what we are currently up to: 👇

I've used Lavaan almost every (work)day for 15 years, but this open source labour of love has never received proper institutional support. I'm delighted to be a small part of an 1.5M OpenScienceNL award, led by Jorgensen, to completely revamp and futureproof Lavaan www.openscience.nl/en/news/45-p...

Grades are in. This has been a very difficult quarter, but we made it through. I'm not usually one to complain, but this has been one of the more brutal quarters I've had in a long long time. Now... time to finish Silk Song.

New blog to go with a newly accepted paper! From undergraduate honors thesis, to in-press at Journal of Behavioral Medicine. Such a fun and interesting process! Major shout out to Jennifer Sumner and her lab for taking a risk with us! www.akmontoya.com/post/when-ap...

The QRClab celebrated the end of the quarter with some ice skating! I’m feeling so grateful for this wonderful group of researchers. This fall we’ve welcomed two new graduate students and one new undergrad RA! We couldn’t do the amazing work we do in the lab without their dedication.

How do I get this on a t-shirt and then wear it to every conference I go to? flic.kr/p/2idtLzt

Does anyone have an example of examining contrasts using emmeans for multinomial regressions with an interaction term? #psych #stats
