What’s in and what’s out for 2023

One of my all time favorites that I recommend (and sometimes gift) to all those interested in human potential.

My favourite study of "how often does a family with small children get a respiratory infection?" is this one, from the USA: doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci… Children <5y have one of 16 common respiratory viruses detected in a nasal swab 50% of the year!

Anyone have a good paper that shows how to approach multi-level analysis when the assumption of normality is violated? I’m seeing mixed feedback on pivoting the analysis or moving forward ignoring the assumption was violated. #IOPsych #Stats

This story features an incredible feat of aviation used for an abominable purpose. Powerful and engaging read.

The Hunter - This was one of those moments of profound awe and wonder, of feeling connected, standing under the stars on Chimney Pond beneath Mount Katahdin as the constellation Orion, the Hunter, rose above the peak night before last. #maine #mountkatahdin #katahdin

Me during the week: I’m going to be so healthy and productive this weekend. Me on the weekend:

Hello Twitter! If you’ve gone through #infertility and #IVF and are working in the US, my research team and I would love to talk to you in exchange for $25 for an interview. Trying to avoid bots, so please DM me for the full ad! We are approved by the UA IRB for this research.

If anyone at #SIOP23 is looking for a session to attend at 10:30, I’d suggest visiting room 310 for a conversation on strategies (other than compensation!) to retain employees. #IOPsych
