Noooo I love it. It reminds me of the period of proposing different factor rotations! I just assume they’re proposing a new rotation. Varimax oblimin minmax looksmax it’s all the same

I’m reminded that one of my main reasons for starting to do research was finding community. As a new transfer I wanted to meet other people interested in similar things to me. And so this week in lab meeting, we tried Monster+Skyr! Because maybe we don’t have to be super serious all the time.

This is huge!!!!! I haven’t made it yet 😔

Everyone should hear this: it is ALWAYS a privilege and a treat for professors to hear from former students and trainees. I love to hear what you have been up to since you were in my lab, class, whatever.

I always say “a pile of meetings”

A quandary of students

I’m excited to share a new special issue of Psychology of Popular Media focused on ethnic/racial stereotypes.
Submit pre-registered reports! Study will be conducted after in-principle acceptance.
Deadline: 4.24.26
Call: www.apa.org/pubs/journal...
Looking forward to your proposals. Spread the word!

Goal setting workshop with #UCLAPGSA! This is the cutest and most relevant little stress ball I’ve ever seen! Thanks to #ncfdd for teaching me many of these skills to pass on to our students!

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of visiting my old and new friends at #UCIrvine in Cognitive Science! It was really fun to talk to many different ppl about propensity score matching in study recruitment! Thanks @joachim.cidlab.com for hosting and @minedogucu.com for coming to say hi!

Let me know what you think about the changes in inference

I think it originates from the way we teach slope in grade school. But change implies within case and that’s rarely what’s meant. It leads to poor public translation if we use change when we don’t mean it. The example I give is how silly it sounds when you say something like “when you change gender”

If the design warrants within person change interpretations then sure, but those are rarely analyzed using linear regression, no?

Wrapping up teaching my 7th year of graduate regression 🤯 Over the years I have developed a document I call the "Writing Guide to Linear Regression." I've made some updates to the inferences section, which I continue to develop. Have some good or bad examples? Send them my way! osf.io/egm3c/overview

Spring break is making me yearn for summer 😅. I was able to knock out a whole paper revision today, which felt really good. I only had two meetings (both of which went short). Maybe there is something about this whole uninterrupted work thing that actually helps.

In case you missed it 👀 ❗

Very fun. Much better than @quantitude.bsky.social’s method of saying that every time you say it wrong you kill a kitten.

i and e are distinct sounds in Japanese. Where i is pronounced like “ee” in English like “meet” whereas “e” is pronounced more like “eh” like in “met”.

We're #recruiting a research assistant to work on a DFG-funded project on #MetaScience at the University of Cologne. Some coding skills in #python required, and interest in modelling the #cognition of #reading! Please spread the word!

So interesting! Oral surgery has come a long way! I had to have a root canal a little more than a year ago and I went back to work after, no pain, no trouble. I remember as a kid my dad got one and was home from work for three days!

Very excited to announce that Gareth Yu will be joining the QRClab as a PhD Student in Fall 2026. Gareth graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Cognitive Science and Linguistics in 2025, and has spent this academic year as the QRClab Manager! We are so excited for him to continue his studies with us!

I agree with the advice from others not to worry about this. Also for the “methods” stuff there’s always arms length folks in quant 😉. I split my letter writers between quant and open science. Worked out I guess 😅

Reviewer notes: In a randomized experiment, the pre-post differences are not effect estimates Reviewer notes are a new short format with brief explanations of basic ideas that might come in handy during (for example) the peer-review process. They are a great way to keep Julia from writing 10,0...

P.S. Pre-post differences are *not* valid treatment effect estimates. Why? Here's a post by @statsepi.bsky.social: statsepi.substack.com/p/one-simple..., here's a post by me: www.the100.ci/2025/01/22/r... >
