Excellent! No notes. 😅

I totally did not expect this Italian song during the Opening Ceremony. For those who don't know, it was meant to mimic English, but the words are all nonsense. youtu.be/RObuKTeHoxo?...

The whole extended interview is worth your time, but this chip of Sir Ian's performance is absolutely something you should watch right now.

The new Muppet Show episode was so good. Very much the vibe of the original show. Just what I needed tonight.

I've been in Canada for a few years now, and I finally went to a hockey game in person this evening: PWHL game, Seattle Torrent vs. Ottawa Charge. It was a wild game, including a player ejection and fight that was not in these highlights. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT26...

First post of the year, new paper out today: we present possibly the biggest case of systematic Measurement Schmeasurement in tech use. It seems that most studies on gaming (videogame) addiction/disorder haven't measured gaming after all. This research took years, so long 🧵 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Playing the challenging icy biome in Silksong this evening seems like some rather appropriate timing....

I had a similar meeting today with my grad student, but this framing is infinitely better than my discussion of various research ideas. 😅

This is a point that I often tell my students in my writing class and in my lab.

New paper in Dev Psych with @emily-willroth.bsky.social & Tammy English! Momentary sense of purpose is higher & stabler in older adults than young adults--regardless of cognitive status. Though these fluctuations differ, what predicts them is fairly consistent. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I know that I am a very biased Carolina Panthers fan, but the refs in this game are driving me insane.

I say this often, too. Descriptive stats are essential to understand more complex analyses. And put them in the main paper, not just a supplement!

Psychologists, what are your favorite (open) data sets for teaching multilevel modelling? I have a lot of observational examples, would love a therapy RCT with varying effects for therapists or some such.

While teaching a course on Item Response Theory this semester, I created a Shiny app for visualizing some polytomous item response models: falkcarl.shinyapps.io/polytomous/ This is an initial draft, so comments/questions/suggestions are welcome! #Psychometrics #RShiny #IRT

I'm adding this resource to my grad writing class lecture on peer review. This is excellent work, and it is something that we needed for a while. Many ECRs are thrown into the deep end with peer review, and this is a good tool to help them.

Despite Prepublication Peer Review being a core part of science, training materials for it are sparse. This open source guide is very valuable for ECRs! ecr-reviewers.gitlab.io/guide/

The point that I tried to make earlier. This is what gerrymandering looked like. Nashville was all one district not that long ago.

For those watching TN-7 special election results, remember that this is a gerrymandered district. Nashville used to have a safe Dem seat, but it was redistricted and split into thirds. The fact that it wasn't called immediately when polls closed is a big deal.

Excited to see these studies (finally) published in Scientific Reports! 🚨 S1: More social media users perceived themselves as addicted than met clinical addiction criteria. S2: Increasing perceived addiction hurt perceived control over use and increased self-blame for overuse. Thread below... 🧵

This is the third time in as many weeks that I saw something like this on Bay--bus blocking the crosswalk and part of the intersection. We need bus lanes, especially in this traffic. #Autowa

I gave a workshop about using social media to faculty at the UT Austin. Here are some tips: -Stay in your lane (share what you know) -Avoid fights -Use plain language -Including clear visuals -Follow quality accounts -Leverage trends -Have some fun -Embrace your natural workflow

I'm excited to share that I’ll be reviewing PhD applications this cycle for students interested in working with me starting Summer/Fall 2026. I’m especially looking for applicants excited about research on trust/persuasion, responses to historical harm, addressing inequality, and/or mindsets.

I am hoping to recruit a graduate student for next year. That person would help conduct research on leadership, individual differences, and methodological skullduggery. Please forward to any potentially interested students.

New York City!!!

I want Ottawa Charge fans to understand that if Lansdowne 2.0 goes through as-is, there’s a genuine threat that we’ll lose our women’s hockey team. This would be devastating to our city, and to all the women + girls who have found hope and community in the PWHL. ottawacitizen.com/opinion/pwhl...

We shall see how this all ends, but I feel that this is already one of the most bizarre World Series games that I have ever seen.

In my personality class this morning, I was covering a bunch of cognitive topics , including field independence. I gave a few examples, including Where's Waldo. *Student raises hand* Me: Yes? Student: I actually found Waldo near Southam Hall this morning. The joys of teaching on Halloween. 😅

To the person who decided to play New Order "Blue Monday" as we went to commercial, I tip my hat on the appropriate music choice for the World Series tonight.

Well, those thinking the Dodgers would sweep the World Series are realizing quickly not to underestimate the Blue Jays. The way this game has gone indicates to me thst it should be an exciting series.

No causal and arguably no meaningful relationship between smartphone use and mental health. Objective use, not self reported use, and that’s the key. When you ask someone how much time they spend doing a tech activity, you are asking about their vibes. Objective indicators tell another story.

I'm glad we had some frogs turn up in Ottawa today: ottawacitizen.com/news/no-tyra...

I lived in St. Marys, Georgia for 8 years, and left after high school. The county has been conservative, and still is, voting for Trump by 67%. And yet, even in this red county, there was a No Kings protest at the St. Marys waterfront (& also in June). Not a huge crowd, but decent for a small town.

The framing around 'stricter age restrictions' feels disproportionate considering the magnitude of the effects. I ran some rough calculations: Cohen's d ≈ 0.059 and 0.114 for the group comparisons on the cognitive composite measure.

Over the last 3 years I've been collecting resources to share with people interested in data freelancing. I've recently compiled those resources in a GitHub Repository. If you are interested in data freelancing, these resources may help you navigate that transition. github.com/Cghlewis/fre...

Honestly? That would be amazing.
