My favorite human graduated with his PhD in industrial/organizational psychology today. He was also awarded the distinguished graduate student award!! I don’t know anyone more deserving. I’m so proud of him. It’s an honor to be his partner. ☺️🥹@SethOsborn_
Hi everyone! I’m at the tail end of recruiting for my dissertation looking at personality, interpersonal interactions, & eating disorder symptoms. If you have a spare 15-20 minutes to help a grad student out, please follow the link below! People
Pie charts *are* inherently evil though. They're like word clouds: a horribly ineffective way of communicating that should basically never be used given superior alternatives that do a far better job of conveying the same information
Contrary to popular criticism—including my own—pie charts are NOT inherently evil (merely oft misused). What other #dataviz myths shall we dispel?
Guess we're headed to NC next year.
I’ll say more once I stop reeling from excitement & disbelief that I matched at Duke University Medical Center. I couldn’t imagine a better fit anywhere else, and I’m BEYOND excited for what’s next!! So grateful for those who’ve supported me through this process!! #appic
Excellent question. In statistics, I think most people will get vastly more out of regularly reviewing the basics than rushing ahead to more and more advanced material.
The *broad* definition of misinformation is incoherent. What it signifies now is an effort to suppress dissent and launder partisan opinions into a false consensus on matters of legitimate controversy. It's a cynical enterprise, aimed at the gullible.
Interesting that those most vocal about being against child sexual abuse (e.g., “I’d kill them if they ever did that to my child, sister, etc.”) are often the first to dismiss survivors’ stories & first to call literal CHILDREN vindictive and manipulative for coming forward. 🤔🤬
Pin this tweet anywhere prospective students might get your contact details, just so they can dodge that bullet
Whether you are an academic or practitioner (or both), you should be careful about interpreting complex statistics. #statistics #researchmethods paulspector.com/avoid-magical-…
My general research strategy: wade into "Wild West" territories. Study pervasive yet unregulated and understudied practices. It's laziness. Lit reviews don't take long when there's little to review. But it also feels more impactful than brick-in-the-wall, fill-the-gap stuff.
I understand why people push for safety limits in AI Chatbots, but it leads to these weird situations where you’re being talked down to by a robot about what is and isn’t moral, and the robot thinks it’s in charge and it knows best. That feels like a kind of tech dystopia to me.
The problem with the blustery faux-expert persona is that it only fools fools. But I suppose that is a segment of the market.
The older I get, the more I realize that success at most things isn't about finding the one trick or secret nobody knows about. It's consistently doing the boring, mundane things everyone knows about but is too unfocused/undisciplined to do. Get good at boring.
One of my favorite things I've ever read in the #psychology research literature: "The effect was not significant at the .05 level (p = .057), so an alpha of .06 was used instead." (Paraphrased so as not to embarrass someone who was a graduate student at the time.)
