I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

Scientists: Call your congressional aides. But also remind your organization leaders that not speaking up is not going to spare them.

Dear US academics & scientists, 🧵/4
Now is not the time to harass program officers & staff about your grant. Now is the time to support NSF/NIH employees. Please send a short, kind, supportive note to each person you know at NIH & NSF who have served you in the past. They are under massive stress
