look, i'm not even reading my own emails

I'm back! In this experiment we had 39 participants choose between 8 different PhD programs which varied in terms of region, application materials, prestige, and fees. Importantly, two of the programs had a GRE requirement and two were equivalent but did not:

Friends, if you have the means to donate to a local food pantry financially via online giving, I highly encourage you to do that. But I don’t want to discount the importance of actually showing up at the pantry, even if it is just to drop off food. (1/5)

Scientists failed to reckon that once we discover the gay gene, we'll turn it ON in everyone. Then we'll finally have our random sample

My fab department is hiring in Clinical at the asst/assoc level! The search is focused on adult psychopathology, brain imaging, or genetics. We have a collaborative, friendly, and supportive department with great conditions for research. Come join us! Ad: lnkd.in/gkJtjCyS

Does anyone have a good textbook for undergraduate students learning stats from a linear regression framework? Thanks!

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

i hate the dodgers but ????????????????????????

i know i only started to care about baseball 24 hours ago but finding out so many of you are dodgers fans...

People on here will post anything. 'Baseball games have 9 innings.' No they don’t. That isn’t true.

No one is tricking me into watching baseball again

The Blue Jays can still win if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing.

i need you all to know i got into sports today

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Remembering the time in grad school when a Black PhD student at the next desk over was doing computer vision research. He was testing out a facial recognition tool using his own face as a reference, but it wasn't working. So he asked a (white) colleague to try it, and of course it worked for her.

I'm also pleased to announce that I received one of three prestigious stickers for wining drag bingo at the CSRF drag social. This award truly represents the 'getting lucky' needed to succeed in academia

Guilty

internet addiction except its helping random strangers try to figure out how to analyze their data on reddit :/

in a culmination of @shaynagram.bsky.social's attempts to turn me into a sex r*searcher, i'm excited to have been able to share my work on sexual minority men's experiences of discrimination. mental health, and the buffering effects of having same race / co-ethnic partners at #CSRF2025

Here's my grad student doing a killer job presenting his poster at #CSRF2025 He helped me resurrect a neat project where we looked at condom negotiation and relationship power in men's sexual relationships with other men!

Is anyone I know here going to CSRF next week?

renewing a membership and seeing that its stratified by income and my income being in the lowest bracket because of exchange rates ❤️

its fun to see how people report interaction effects in other field

I think AIs would actually be really good in replacing CEOs and upper management considering most of their decisions are based on vibes and they cost a lot of money

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

In this house when we say "emerging literature" we mean two papers and one blog post

i hate to say it but i'm a linkedin academic now––at least the platform doesn't try to hide what it is

the thing with netflix is its the only place i can consistently get international queer content

Collaborator: oh no we need to cut off one whole page in our proposal Me: *changes line spacing from 1.15 to 1.0*

People are dunking on this but unfortunately in my many years having worked in academic and non-academic settings . . . I have met people whose work is no better than the low-end of ChatGPT quality

end-of-day de-stressing ritual: listening to Toni Collette's dinner scene monologue in Hereditary

i get so anxious over analyzing data in case things don't work out and they always end up working out in a much more interesting way lmao

i like the part where REBs are requiring consent forms so long it does not all fit on a single Qualtrics question because it exceeds the character limit :)

Last week, I had the honour of presenting my work on anti-immigrant attitudes for the Migration and Ethnic Relations Alumni Reunion at Western.

you ever take on a side project and the findings are so nice and clean you almost pivot your entire career

The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.

A second Canadian professor put on leave...

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

I saw a post (maybe on linkedin) about how non-stats people make data requests (e.g., what's the proportion of people who like apples and also own a unicycle) and think that the data just magically exists and...

Isn't it interesting that it's a "big tent" when we talk about including conservatives but a "purity test" when we talk about protecting marginalized people? So the litmus test for the centrists isn't actually if we're inclusive, but rather if we're willing to exclude groups THEY don't like.
