Come join our new PhD program in Experimental Psychology at Tarleton State University! am recruiting a PhD student to start in Fall 2026! Reach out to me if you are interested...would love to chat

After a great @mathpsych.org conference this past weekend, I am proud to begin a 4-year term as Treasurer of the Society for Mathematical Psychology! I am looking forward to this work. Many thanks to Leslie Blaha for her dedication to SMP as secretary/treasurer during the past 8 years!

Job alert! Please share with your networks that include quantitative psychologists. TY in advance! fa-exci-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Finally! Six years after the release of the open-source book Learning Statistics with JASP, version 2.0 is live! I have updated the book to include screenshots of the newest version of JASP, as well as typo fixes. All can be seen at learnstatswithjasp.com. Enjoy!!

Bayesian Statistics: The Basics Amazon.com: Bayesian Statistics: The Basics: 9781032744001: Faulkenberry, Thomas J.: Books

Today is the day! Bayesian Statistics: The Basics is now available to purchase! I provided an Amazon link below, but you can purchase from any major bookseller. Get yourself a copy for summer reading....I'll even sign it for you :)

"...if I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants..."

Seeing a book in print always brings conflicting feelings - joy, relief, and a looming "what's next?".

But today, I will focus on joy, for it is a beautiful book! It is the book I wanted to read a decade ago...but it feels pretty good to be the one who got around to writing it.

Registration is now open for the annual conferences of the Society for Mathematical Psychology. This summer, mathpsych.org will host a virtual conference (June 16-20) and Ohio State University will host an in-person conference (July 25-29).

Please share! Not 100% official yet, but I may get to recruit a Ph.D. student for Fall 2025. If you are interested in psychological methods, math, and/or some combination of those, send me a message so we can chat!

another recommendation is Dr. Keisha Bahr at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. She has given workshops for us that have been wonderful, and she has a neat book too ("The Narrative Gym for Science Graduate Students and Postdocs")

Release date is set! Bayesian Statistics: The Basics will be available on April 30...just in time for summer reading by the pool 🙂

Deadline for MathPsych-ICCM submissions is today! mathpsych.org/conference/19/

I am thrilled to get to continue my work on the Editorial Board of the J. of Numerical Cognition, now as an Associate Editor for the "Advanced Statistical Analysis" section.

One of my best papers is in this journal, so I feel a strong loyalty to it. Looking forward to this work for sure :)

Yes…context is missing here. Just a conceptual “definition”

I miss teaching this semester, and these classes sound like amazing ones to run!

Final edits on page proofs submitted today! Here is a sneak peak of the new book...counting down the days until I hold the physical copy in my hands!

I got a lovely message from someone in Australia who found my book in a shop!

Some news to share! Starting this summer, I will begin a 4-year term as Treasurer of the Society for Mathematical Psychology.

I am looking forward to this work with a great society.

Love NITOP! Haven't gotten to go in several years. If you see my Tarleton State people floating around, say "hi" to them for me :)

I completed my last run of the year this morning. Wrapping up my running log for the year, here are my stats:

Running days: 281
Average daily mileage: 4.02 miles
Median days per week: 6.00
Total distance: 1,129 miles / 1,817 km
Lifetime distance (since fall 2013): 12,595 miles / 20,270 km

thanks for putting that together!
