A completely filled-in board in the game of Patchwork. It looks like a tiny quilt.

For the .01% of you who might care, I actually filled my entire board playing Patchwork today, ooooh

Unforgivable!!

I mean yay, but I also enjoyed the thrill of pretending to be a “real coder” whenever I had to write the command to create it myself

This afternoon, I was in a meeting with Jay Bhattacharya, and I can confirm this is *exactly* what he both wants and will be doing.

THIS IS NOT HYPERBOLE.

Dear journals, collaborators, potential trainees, & colleagues: Please be patient with your nih friends. Those of us who are still around are doing everything in our power to focus on science & keep the long view in mind. But life is very much one day at a time, & catch up from shutdown is a beast 🫠

Asking once again that researchers spend even half as much time thinking about design, sampling, and measurement as they do tinkering with their favorite R package to analyze and present their results.

EGOT!!!

Visit the “paper skygest” feed when you really want to get away from politics; it’s all paper-related posts and replies, all from people you follow.

"are you enjoying duo mobile" does a hamburger enjoy being made of quarks. does a fish enjoy linear time. does the mountain enjoy the first taste of a cup of hot chocolate when you get back to the ski lodge. your question means nothing to me. i couldn't enjoy duo mobile even if i tried

Agree with many things in the talk & communicating this with detail is valuable work but picking a small thing that many repeatedly overlook imo: quality control does *not* equal prestige-- journal prestige is generated by a process of selection for impact

We're very excited to see the first recommendation by PCI Psych out now in Peer Community Journal! 🎉 Not only can you read the full article for free below, you can see the full peer review history and editorial decisions. It cost the authors $0. This is what scientific publishing should be.

Oooh I can’t believe I never heard of this! And it’s Kevin Bacon!

Premium Rush!
Literally a whole movie (thriller) about bike messengers in NYC.

Teaching using R (and other free software) helps continue this amazing legacy by providing tools that scholars from the Global South (and poor people in otherwise affluent countries) and take back to their communities after they finish their training at American/European universities. #rstats

This is far too on point for my comfort level

The man who inspired Australia's teen social media ban literally did this:

Hey, it’s Franklin. Coming over to play. I mean, to clarify things in the most polite way possible. #HandsOffOurTurtle

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Grade Expectations, tomorrow…

Yahoo!! 🥳👏👏👏

Interesting measurement and experimental studies wrestling with the concept of “addiction” in social media research!

Year-to-year they change too. Never had any duplicates, ever, in 10 years of letter-writing

@kevinmking.bsky.social I vaguely recall you had some thoughts on behavioural measures vs self-report?

Not so fast: The effect of review blinding on prestige bias was not statistically significant

(diff-in-diff “marginal” and upon closer inspection likely influenced by outliers)

This might be my favourite thing about Christmas in Canada. Our postal service co-ordinates letters to my kids from Santa every year (and a different letter per kid!!)

👾 We've put together a supercut to show exactly what “interactive” means inside #ggplot2 [un]charted 👇

The project became far more ambitious than we first planned, but seeing how rich, detailed, and interactive it has become makes Yan and me genuinely proud of what we’ve built 🚀
