Working with upperclass undergraduates and talking about careers in psychology. I feel like I can provide a general overview of things, then get specific with clinical psych. However, I'm at a loss when it comes to other areas.

What are some resources you've used for students? #PsychSciSky

And if working with Git/GitHub is intimidating, I have found @gitkraken.com to be an amazing interface. It makes everything intuitive and I've been more confident in the things that I'm doing! Check it out (gitkraken.cello.so/aqWDAh05emk). There is a free tier, but you can get 50% off with this link

Been working to create more accessible tools for getting started with R for psychologists. GitHub Pages has been a great tool for allowing me to do this (dharaden.github.io/psyc640/). Aiming to create another site for a broader audience and would love suggestions!

Most definitely! Clinical psych is mixed, bit in my experience, any pub will be nice, but that isn't everything.

We're going to see a lot of bullshit in the coming days and weeks about "causes of autism", and most will be based on flawed, over-interpreted observational studies (1/n)

Really proud of what I've got so far for my Grad Stats course. I wanted to create something that could be easily looked back on or referred to. A lot of students are uncomfortable with R (and most of the stats), so I'm trying to create an open and supportive environment. dharaden.github.io/psyc640/

My advisor @benhankin.bsky.social always had us focus on an "Intro to the Intro". Give a couple pages of overview so that the reader can then go into the sections of your intro in more depth. Like a mini inverted pyramid on top of your intro

I was once asked, "Is it weird that my intro psych professor assigned the final paper as a reflection on a debate whether or not a certain argument is pseudoscience? It strikes me as out of place." My response was: It's not out of place of all. 1/6 #AprSciLiteracy #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Reviewer notes: That’s a very nice mediation analysis you have there. It would be a shame if something happened to it. Mediation analysis has gotten a lot of flak, including classic titles such as β€œYes, but what’s the mechanism?

New blog post! In which I explain the issue with mediation analysis and sketch out one way to deal with the underlying causal inference problem -- in just a bit over 1,000 words!

I agree and I think a lot of it comes from researchers doing what is familiar to them. If it isn't broken why fix it?

It's good to address it at the publication and funding levels, but what's the best way to teach our students? Often those with less power are those who want change implemented

Back as a lab manager I worked with www.sweetwater.com I actually talked with them and they walked me through a lot of the options when we were doing group work with youth. We used Tascam and I was impressed. If you want auto transcription Samsung voice recorder just introduced some features!
