For the right candidate, I'm upping the offer: I will double the supply of toy dinosaurs that come with this position 🦕
You can be living in a literal bubble due to having no immune system, HIV doesn't just develop.
Since when does smoking cause HIV?
Pooh meme: bored, I don't know anything about this... smug: this is beyond the scope of the paper
editing some writing atm...

I always hated doi links in references; a pain to find them.
But NOW it is a great way to check for LLM-hallucinated references.
And this, in evolutionary biology, is called a spandrel.
Something that evolved for one purpose but now serves a different purpose (or none at all).

An old man drinking coffee. In the first panel he is looking at a computer. In the second panel he turns and looks at the reader. Text, panel 1: "Yesterday I was an expert on contract law." Text, panel 2: "Today I am an expert on war."
Oh, Bluesky. Never change.
Just a plea from a struggling stats instructor, could we possibly debate why Type I sums of squares is the default in the base R anova functions
The last SPSP (2015, Long Beach) I went to was so toxic, I haven't been back.
I've been told that was unusual and because of the Reproducibility project: Psychology.
Now I am going back to my first SPSP since then.
I sure hope the SCORE project isn't released this week...

Best line about fadeout!
Registered Reports are the way forward
Great team here!
Our lab has the capacity to test ~500 uni students each semester
If you’re a researcher in cognitive psychology or metascience and need data collection support, we’d love to collaborate. We can help collect high-quality data from a large student sample.
Get in touch to discuss potential projects!
I'd love to see an American Culinary Class Wars where the judges are Thomas Keller and Guy Fieri and they are always 100% blind to who cooked what.
Nmin = 51?
I have a suspicion researchers have a quantity, let's call it Nmin.
Where any study whose sample size is below Nmin, REGARDLESS OF STATISTICAL POWER, is summarily ignored.
It makes doing within subjects experiments irksome.
Social psychologists' Nmin average seems around 200-250.

NO BOOKS FOR BOYS Juvenile Literature a Thing of the Past in America, Says Hezekiah Butterworth Author of the Zig-Zag Journeys Says Boys Are Growing Up Too Fast --The Minneapolis Journal, 25 Apr 1903

Anytime you see a product criticized for "hacking your dopamine reward system"
and it is not a chemical substance,
they just mean it's enjoyable.
That's it.
The product is enjoyable.
Absolutely! As you probably know better than anyone, finding highly able wealthy 18-year-olds who randomly don't go to college is probably incredibly difficult.
Gap year kids maybe?
Maybe it's my own scientism bias but it seems to me:
If something exists independent of what people say it is, it can be studied & understood.
If something only exists as what people say it is, studying people tells us what it is.
Is something missing here or are one of the premises wrong?
Where are the economists at who somehow have a dataset of all people wait listed at only one college who either did or did not get into college?
every once in a while I read a paper that changes me.
If you do research involving between-Ss experiments or interpreting between-people correlations in any way (e.g. SEM)
read this paper, weep, & don't ignore the implications.

Really crazy that so many Americans based their entire life around carrying guns to protect US from authoritarians & pedophiles, then when confronted with authoritarians & pedophiles they joined in as paramilitary terrorizing innocent civilians & protecting the pedophiles from accountability.
If you're interested in data sleuthing but aren't sure where to start,
or if you're conducting a systematic review/meta-analysis and want to ensure you're not including junk studies,
check out this Cochrane training session on Trustworthiness Assessment by @jdwilko.bsky.social
What is a great journal that really likes tutorial papers and re-analyses (metasciencey) that helps translate econometrics to Psychology but DOESN'T charge an APC?
