Congrats, Tory! So well deserved!

“Research shows that professors like coffee mugs, t-shirts, and um… devotional candles?”

Happy birthday, friend!

Transparent and comprehensive statistical reporting is critical for ensuring the credibility, reproducibility, and interpretability of psychological research. This paper offers a structured set of guidelines for reporting statistical analyses in quantitative psychology, emphasizing clarity at both the planning and results stages. Drawing on established recommendations and emerging best practices, we outline key decisions related to hypothesis formulation, sample size justification, preregistration, outlier and missing data handling, statistical model specification, and the interpretation of inferential outcomes. We address considerations across frequentist and Bayesian frameworks and fixed as well as sequential research designs, including guidance on effect size reporting, equivalence testing, and the appropriate treatment of null results. To facilitate implementation of these recommendations, we provide the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology (TSRP) Checklist that researchers can use to systematically evaluate and improve their statistical reporting practices (https://osf.io/t2zpq/). In addition, we provide a curated list of freely available tools, packages, and functions that researchers can use to implement transparent reporting practices in their own analyses to bridge the gap between theory and practice. To illustrate the practical application of these principles, we provide a side-by-side comparison of insufficient versus best-practice reporting using a hypothetical cognitive psychology study. By adopting transparent reporting standards, researchers can improve the robustness of individual studies and facilitate cumulative scientific progress through more reliable meta-analyses and research syntheses.

Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉

As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Well fuck….

Spanberger: My fellow Virginians, tonight we sent a message…

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

You going to share any tips, homie?

Wife: football?

Me: yeah Monday night doubleheader

Wife: it better be the fucking second game!

Wife: I hate this sport…

Either universities are private businesses that get to set their own priorities or they’re public goods that are obligated to serve everyone. You can’t have it both ways.

A lot of scientists sense the bullshit production machine happening in the admin and reach for terms like “p-hacking” or arguing they’re doing science wrong. This is remarkably misguided and just pays them the liars dividend. 🧵

Thank you for sharing and enjoy the smoke! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I’ve been meaning to ask. Does the elevation have any meaningful effect on the cook? Asking from only ~2000 feet above sea level.

NSF GRFP is out 2.5 months late w/key changes

1. 2nd year graduate students not eligible.

2. "alignment with Administration priorities"

3. Unlike prior years, they DO NOT specify the expected number of awards... that is a BIG problem.

UNL Proposes Cutting Educational Administration Department University leaders say they need to slash the budget. Education administration professors say it’ll sever a pipeline to education leadership roles.

The University of Nebraska looks to join West Virginia University as flagship public universities to cut graduate programs in K-12 and higher ed administration. It's not a great look for land grant missions.

Virginia voters know that starting tomorrow, we get to cast our ballots and make clear — it’s time for a Governor who will stand up for Virginians.

Early voting in Virginia starts tomorrow!

I was so excited to join a call with many of our volunteers & organizers across the Commonwealth, who are putting in the work to turn out every voter.

I’m so grateful for all their hard work.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.

It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.

This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

The right sets the terms of our political discourse in so many ways, one of which is the idea that there isn't enough "debate" and "free speech" on campus.

We need to push back on this. The truth is (speaking for myself as a history prof), I don't really emphasize debate much in my classes/

Too many Virginia families are struggling to keep up with rising costs — and they need immediate relief.

As Governor, I’ll work tirelessly on Day One to lower costs — from housing, to healthcare, to energy.
