The use of multiyear funding consumes the current year's appropriation faster than would be the case for annually funded grants, limiting the number of awards that can be made.

This is a major factor driving down success rates.

I will continue to track this and explore its implications.

When scheduling meetings in other time zones, make sure you account for daylight savings time, otherwise you may find yourself getting up at 4 am when you didn't have to for a PhD Defense

(better than being an hour late to the defense, though!)

A still from a video of a tiny white horse the size of a large dog. Its forelock is braided. It's wearing a little blue vest/cape. It has tiny black booties on it's itty bitty hooves.

I just want to make sure everyone knows Mayo Clinic has a therapy miniature horse named Blue Sky

A line graph of the number of projects funded by NIH for fiscal years 2020-2026. The fiscal year 2026 curve lies below the other curves but appears to be increasing at close to the normal pace.

The fiscal year 2026 curve still lies below the other curves but appears to be increasing at close to the normal pace.

Excited to be giving a talk today at the famed Eaton-Peabody Labs at Mass Eye and Ear.

Also that I can take out the slides I usually have about "why hearing is important" 😂

One of my favorite papers is Cohen's "The Earth Is Round (p < .05)"—for style as much as methodological points. I can't vouch that he's correct on all counts, but it's an enjoyable read and successful at making me think (also he may well be right on all counts) (1/5)

What to do? First, don't look for a magic alternative to NHST, some other objective mechanical ritual to replace it. It doesn't exist.

"What to do? First, don't look for a magic alternative to NHST, some other objective mechanical ritual to replace it. It doesn't exist."

Anyway, the whole article is worth reading! I'm fairly sure you will find it more enjoyable than not (p < .05). (5/5)

Even a correct interpretation of p values does not achieve very much, and has not for a long time. Tukey (1991) warned that if researchers fail to reject a nil hypothesis about the difference between A and B, all they
can say is that the direction of the difference is "uncertain." If researchers reject the nil hypothesis then they can say they can be pretty sure of the direction, for example, "A is larger than B." But if all we, as psychologists, learn from a research is that A is larger than B (p < .01), we have not learned very much. And this is typically all we learn. Confidence intervals are rarely to be seen in our publications. In another article (Tukey, 1969), he chided psychologists and other life and behavior scientists with the admonition "Amount, as well as direction is vital"

"Even a correct interpretation of p values does not achieve very much, and has not for a long time. Tukey (1991) warned that if researchers fail to reject a nil hypothesis about the difference between A and B, all they
can say is that the direction of the difference is "uncertain." (4/5)

Like many men my age, I mostly grouse. My harangue today is on testing for statistical significance, about which Bill Rozeboom (1960) wrote 33 years ago, "The statistical folkways of a more primitive past continue to dominate the local scene" (p. 417). And today, they continue to continue. And we, as teachers, consultants, authors, and otherwise perpetrators of quantitative methods, are responsible for the ritualization of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST; I resisted the temptation to call it statistical hypothesis inference testing) to the point of meaninglessness and beyond. I argue herein that NHST has not only failed to support the advance of psychology as a science but also
has seriously impeded it.

"Like many men my age, I mostly grouse." 😂

"I argue herein that NHST has not only failed to

There's been some movement but this all feels spookily contemporary. (3/5)

I make no pretense of the originality of my remarks in this article. One of the few things we, as psychologists, have learned from over a century of scientific study is that at age three score and 10, originality is not to be expected. David Bakan said back in 1966 that his
claim that "a great deal of mischief has been associated" with the test of significance "is hardly original," that it is "what 'everybody knows,'" and that "to say it 'out loud'is . . . to assume the role of the child who pointed out that the emperor was really outfitted in his underwear" (p. 423). If it was hardly original in 1966, it can hardly be original now. Yet this naked emperor has been shamelessly running around for a long time.

You know you've reached a certain career stage and/or existed at a certain time in history when you can begin a paper with "I make no pretense of the originality of my remarks in this article". 😂 (2/5)
