Needed - larger samples, more realism about (the lack of) heterogeneous treatment effects: -"less than a third of proposed hypotheses were supported... the largest predictor of positive exp. results was sample size" -"moderation hypotheses were rarely significant" academic.oup.com/poq/advance-...

🏆APSA's Experimental Research Section Best Paper Award🏆 Did you present an experiment at APSA2026? Submit your conference paper for the Experimental Research Section's best paper award by April 15, 2026. @sumitra.bsky.social @talbotmandrews.bsky.social and I are excited to read your work!

Currently in FirstView: In “Balancing Precision and Retention in Experimental Design,” @gustavodiaz.org and Erin Rossiter study how experimental design choices can increase precision when estimating treatment effects. Specifically, they examine block-randomized and pre-post designs.

Just over one week to go before the September 16 deadline. Excited to review the applications and engage with folks’ work!

Check out this fascinating paper by my colleagues Erin Rossiter and Jeff Harden. Such a cool design and interesting findings. Plus, Taylor!

"We use real-world data to demonstrate a counterintuitive result: precision gains from block-randomized or pre-post designs can withstand significant sample loss that may arise during implementation." @gustavodiaz.org & Erin Rossiter via @polanalysis.bsky.social doi.org/10.1017/pan....

I'm super excited to be giving a tutorial at the useR conference (Duke) this summer! Let me know if you're thinking about signing up, or if you'll be in Durham and want to chat over coffee. I'd love to connect with other #Rstats enthusiasts!

Virtual and IRL in Ann Arbor seats still available for my @icpsrsummer.bsky.social workshop on Multilevel Modelling in the Social Sciences from July 7-11. It's 40 hours or a semester of content in just 5 days. Bring your project data! myumi.ch/JwM8e #SumProg25 #ICPSR

Thrilled to share my article “The Right Kind of (Gay) Man?” was accepted @thejop.bsky.social I started it as a 1st-year grad student, it became my MA, then a dissertation & job market paper. It’s the piece I’m most proud of (and relieved to finally share) 🏳️‍🌈 www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Come work with me! McMaster is the best Canadian research university w/a medical school that you've never heard of™! Though there are areas listed, the field is actually wide open! These Research Chairs come with research funding. universityaffairs.ca/search-job/?...

Hey, I'm on the Casual Inference podcast this week! I've been a massive fan of @lucystats.bsky.social and @epiellie.bsky.social since Episode 1 of Casual Inference. Talking to great experts (and conversationalists!) like them was a ton of fun. Thanks so much for the invitation!
