Possible, but would require some serious lifting, I’d think.

The 2cm drop in the other group is impressive too, especially with a BMI increase at the same time

Loved the book and narration. Your narration sounds like you've been doing it forever, and your voice conveys the subtle humor and distinguishes the characters perfectly. Readers for your other books have been great too, but I'm glad you chose to read this one yourself. Kudos!

Error checking is an important service to science, but it doesn't pay the bills. But what if it did? Introducing ERROR, a bug bounty program for science to systematically detect and report errors in academic publications error.reviews

Happy 2024! If you have resolved this year to get conned less often (or not at all), to not be taken in by misinformation and deceptive marketing, and to evade fraud and scams as much as possible, you should read my book with @profsimons.bsky.social: NOBODY'S FOOL dansimons.com/NobodysFool....

Very excited that @i4replication.bsky.social is going to be doing annual stress tests of papers published in Psych Science. It’s amazing to see what they’ve done in econ & poli sci, and great that they’re expanding to psych!

Thanks. I do follow a number of lists. Just miss my ability to curate my own personal (private) lists that meet my own idiosynchratic preferences

I will miss my extensive set of curated (private) lists of experts on law, epidemiology, politics, and many other fields that aren't in my areas of expertise. Many of those folks aren't here yet (soon, I hope), but many had stopped posting there often anyway.

I've abandoned the site that shall not be named. Signal-to-awfulness ratio is too low (keeping my account there to reserve the username). I'm glad to see this place building the vibe of pre-decline other-site

If it's a fixed effects model (FE), then it's a weighted average of the effect sizes (based on N or inverse of variance). Fixed all studies measure the same population effect. Random effects models allow for cross-study heterogeneity due to measuring different population effects.

They discussed the original 10-commandments study in the context of this RRR and the other questions about the original study that came up after the insurance study came to light.

Minor clarification: This registered replication report study was published in 2018. The documentary was more recent (it followed the insurance field study).

Open data sharing is a good thing; Protecting participant privacy is a good thing. Sometimes these two good things are in conflict.

Our new preprint introduces a decision-making framework and open source tools to help share as openly as possible and as closed as necessary.

Important statement from Steve Lindsay: Society journals should ensure comptuational reproducibility of work they publish. It's a low bar: can someone else run the provided scripts on the provided data and get the same results. He proposes a pilot study: open.lnu.se/index.php/me...

For #rstats users, {renv} now provides similar functionality to {groundhog}. With your script open in RStudio, simply call renv::embed() & a code snippet will be inserted at the top with the script's version-specific dependencies and the code to install them 🧪#stats

So sorry to hear that. Its so frustrating to see so few people still taking any precautions when we’re still in a pandemic. I hope you have a mild case and quick recovery.

Variants of the "call center" scam are common these days, and targeting is easy for the scammers. Remember that no official organization or company will EVER ask you to pay using pre-paid cash cards. It's always a scam.
