This is the right move.

Projects like this & applying integrative analysis methods are very exciting. I bet there's more to do with all the data we collect & curation and good use of metadata is currently underappreciated

Welcome to the 12 Days of White Rose University Press! 🎉

Throughout December, we’ll be sharing facts, stories, and insights about WRUP — our books, people, and our mission to make research open and accessible. Join us as we celebrate another fantastic year of open research and publishing.

please enjoy this excellent equation from the paper

What is the smallest effect size of interest? After two demographic questions, we are interested in your intuition about effect sizes. This survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes.

To all speech scientists: I would be grateful if you could take 5-10 mins of your time to fill in the following short online survey on effect sizes: forms.gle/huQeiPerZBHE...

It's time to decide on a forever name for papercheck (scienceverse.github.io/papercheck/). We don't want it to be confused with papercheck.ai, and we plan to check other research artifacts like repo contents, data, code, and prereg. Any suggestions?

Simulation for Factorial Designs Create datasets with factorial structure through simulation by specifying variable parameters.

At long last, I have gotten the little isitflooded app showing when routes go underwater in York onto hosting with an SSL certificate, so you don't get security warnings when you visit it. Not that anything's flooded for a loooong old time. www.nosearmy.com/isitflooded/ @yorkcycle.bsky.social

idk if this is a weird offer, but I’m really, really good at reading out linguistic experiment stimuli items, at an even pace, with no errors, with the prosody of your choice, in a very standard southern British English accent. If this would be useful to you let me know. #linguistics

For over a year in my spare time I've been trying to get an observational study on language at the very end of life off the ground, by recruiting folks in palliative care to see that it's doable and interesting. I've made a tiny bit of headway.

I spent so much time in undergrad taking classes that I thought would be *cool* rather than "useful", and I have gotten so much use from those classes because they helped me *think* better and differently.

I know I'm a weirdo like that, butI wish education was treated like this more often.

Grateful for such an inspiring week at my first @isbilingualism.bsky.social. Lots to digest as we reluctantly leave the beautiful San Sebastian!
