For the third weekend in a row, I'm looking at lists of recent articles trying to determine what counts as "about inclusion" enough to propose it to my journal club and it just struck me how different that is from the US govt take that "it has a woman so it's about DEI!"
Copilot just spent the past half hour gaslighting me about my code and I left myself fall for the trap of making a "see, this is what I was talking about" post that didn't include a question. Waste of power but it's hard not to anthropomorphize after hours of work.
After stressing for weeks about a problem that seemed to suggest I had screwed up somewhere big months ago, it turns out the solution was: simplifying my model for a class paper made the model much worse than the original model. For once, I should have stayed complex and didn't!
I love that the SPSP list is also the furry list on Bluesky.
I'm terrible at posting on here, but yesterday I presented my first SPSP data blitz at the LGBTQI preconference! If you missed it, come to my poster session during Saturday's reception!
If you're at #SPSP2026, come check out what folks in my lab are up to!
I didn't plan for this to happen during the conference, but I've officially finished the Data Analyst track! I officially know more about R than somebody who was taught R in their intro to stats class. www.datacamp.com/completed/st... #DataCamp via @datacamp.bsky.social

The writer/editor is a position within the Center’s Religion research team, which seeks to promote a deeper understanding of religion and spirituality. The Religion research team conducts surveys, demographic analyses and other social science research in the United States and around the world, studying people’s religious beliefs and practices as well as their views on related issues, including religion’s role in public life. The ideal candidate will have a strong data journalism mindset, with the ability to translate complex quantitative findings into clear and engaging narratives that are nonpartisan and non-advocacy. This position will be embedded within the Religion research team, where the writer/editor will work collaboratively to shape the team’s research agenda, including identifying key research questions; contributing to survey development; and synthesizing findings into accessible and compelling storylines. The writer/editor will also evaluate drafts of research reports to determine whether there are shortcomings in the analysis; edit, rewrite and reorganize drafts as necessary to improve flow and clarity; and work with researchers and designers to create appropriate charts and tables. In addition, the writer/editor will provide guidance and training to the Religion team’s researchers and serve as a writing resource. Following the release of reports, the writer/editor may help disseminate research to the public through the Center’s social media channels, videos, newsletters, and virtual or in-person gatherings, always adhering to the Center’s independent, nonpartisan, non-advocacy stance.

I have been trying for several days to get the Mac in my lab to run R code that works fine on my laptop. Does Mac have a vendetta against OpenMx?

It would be nice if Google Alerts stopped trying to convince me that my advisor publishes a new article every day, seven days a week.
*A lot* of universities have record enrollments this fall, which doesn’t fit claims by some conservatives that families are turning away from higher ed, nor the national media’s narrative about higher ed.
The people who get mad about this kind of honesty are largely not people who will be persuaded by the evidence that the person was horrible. Half the hate mail I've gotten has informed me that I have no evidence Kirk was a bigot, and I laid out evidence *in the column they're complaining about.*

Data management has been my biggest hurdle to becoming primary R, so I've been excited to take these courses even though they're not in the statistician track.

I’ve just completed the Intermediate R Course on DataCamp!
This is the deepest I've gotten into Base R without shifting focus to a specific package. I'm happy to say that I've already found things that will improve my practice.

Domain-General Cognitive Ability In subject area: Psychology Domain-general cognitive abilities refer to cognitive skills that are not unique to humans but are present across various primate species and potentially other mammals and birds, indicating a general factor underlying cognitive performance that correlates with brain size and is associated with selective attention and working memory capacity. AI generated definition based on: Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2012
Was looking into what Cognitive Scientists mean by ‘domain-general’ cognition, and then hit upon this. This is definitely NOT how we use that term.
Tip: read the last sentence to understand what went wrong here.
Sigh.
