Powerful graphic. In a single day on April 25, a DOGE-fueled NSF canceled 340,226 future days of research. Or 932 years. [And that’s just one of three rounds of terminations so far.]

Anyone interested in learning social network analysis in R? I'll be teaching a workshop soon. May 15/16th. umd-cilvr.catalog.instructure.com/courses/intr...

🧵 But since Head Start's inception, there have been disagreements about whether or not the program "works." So let's review what we know from rigorous research on Head Start's effectiveness, and let's start with what it means for the program to work. 🧵 1/n

ERIC is scheduled to run out of money on April 23. After that date, no new documents can be added. www.governing.com/policy/major...

🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨 We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely! airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...

Thank you

Where are the national headlines on the devastating cuts to Head Start?!?!

We just published a paper on the performance of various tests and confidence intervals for the scale coefficients in location-scale models in meta-analysis: doi.org/10.3758/s134... Overall, REML-based LRTs and profile-likelihood CIs performed best, but the number of studies typically must be large.
