If science is only good if people do it the way you (usually post hoc) suggest. Then it is no longer science, it is just your ego.

Here’s another fun opportunity for our clever and creative Quantitude friends out there. Please post (by Thursday) a fun statistics, quantitative methods, or academia related caption for the image below.

A fantastic summer continues as we warmly welcome the University Library at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin as a supporting member!

If an effect falls in a forest and no one is there to determine what's the mechanism, is it causal? New post in which Julia Rohrer explains why causal effects are indifferent to mechanisms & why effect heterogeneity is the default. the100.ci/2024/06/26/som…

Working on presenting results from qualitative coding of language. Is that still called "coding" or have we moved to "annotation"? We used NLP to get our results after training from human coding...

I agree with Trump. We need to "fight, fight, fight!". Fight the prevalence of mental health issues in 20-somethings and fight the prevalence of access to long range, high caliber assault rifles in the U.S.

If the shooting didn't secure the win, then Usha Vance most certainly seals the deal IMO.

I roughly calculate that our many-analysts study used 3,138 hours of human capital across 73 teams of 162 researchers. This is a massive investment. Think twice about running one of these. Will the results be worth it? pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I wonder if blaming the head of state leads to authoritarianism? Blaming 1 person, carries a high expectation of their power (to end homelessness, cure disease, magically make policies), & with this expectation, the public are 'willing' to give more power to a head of state

STAT TRAVEL DESTINATION! For our next Quantitude summer fun contest, what would be a quant/stat-sounding travel destination? (Groan-worthy puns always welcome.) (Please post by Thursday.)

I am happy to announce I am now a researcher at the German Institute for Adult Education (Deutsches Institut für Erwachsenenbildung) Deutsches Institut für Erwachsenenbildung

A recent study suggests that researchers using qualitative and quantitative methods do not represent distinct cultures of research. Good news for the inclusivity goals of #openscience journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Unterwegs nach Wien zur DGPs-Konferenz. Gummistiefel und Poster sind eingepackt. Ich hoffe, viele bekannte Gesichter wiederzusehen und neue Menschen kennenzulernen. Besucht mich morgen früh am Poster!
