In the quantitative social science system, academics are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the researchers, who know what question to ask but not what model to use; and the statisticians, who know what model to use, but not what question to ask. These are their stories.

On this, there is something obviously wrong with the claim that "tacit knowledge" is the mark of true experts.

What is the ASA for? Hmmm, I thought we had all agreed that its "real" function is to produce symbols of group membership and solidarity among different factions in the form of a common enemy. chronicleofhighereducation.substack.com/p/what-are-s...

Ok, replicability nerds, what do I do with this?

This Vanderbilt report—"written for high-level administrators rather than our colleagues"—is it activism or is it policy?
