A few months ago, many of you were kind enough to nominate me for the role of chief editor of Psychological Science I progressed to the next stage & so in the interests of transparency I'm posting my 'vision statement' on what I would do if I got the job drive.google.com/file/d/15ywCMB…

has anyone tried saying "maaaate" disapprovingly to Luis Rubiales

There is probably about 10-15 people on this planet who can stop global warming by making decisions that would benefit humankind not their pockets. You or me taking a Bag For Life to ASDA ain't one of them.

Probably the most useful tweet I've ever seen (apart from @DrLearnasaurus's about sum coding)! I've set up editable Language Development Research email templates to ask authors to add all the bits and pieces they often forget -much easier than doing it via the website!

Researchers, I'm begging you: PLEASE JUST GIVE THE MEANS AND SDs/SEs FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL CONDITION before your hugely complex statistical model

#Ggplot2 tip - if you’re plotting a figure with date as the x axis don’t forget to double check the variable is actually a date NOT a factor, character etc. - if not use #tidyr lubridate to make it a date!

Scientists evaluating claims in their own field: “what? They didn’t do a proper control and this subtle ascertainment bias confounds all conclusions. Don’t believe any of it.” Scientists evaluating pop social sci claims “wow, that correlation is proof. Let’s do an intervention.”

It's baffling to me that some of y'all see stuff in your mind. You SEE it? The way your eyes see? I always thought "visualize" meant thinking of the words/ideas/feelings associated with a thing, not actual visuals. I am such a total 5 on this scale I didn't know 1-4 existed.

I love it when this pops up because this is some of my favorite work to talk, both from a research angle and from an everyday-person-existing-in-the-world angle. It's completely real!! and the fact that so many people have trouble believing it is totally the point!

Stats Twitter -what kind of model would you use in a training study in which participants are effectively guessing the right answer 50/50 on trial 1, have some probabilistic evidence on trial 2, then get knock-down evidence on trial 3? How to model stick/switch lucky first guess?

Well Twitter/X on my phone is doing something weird about authentication codes so this is probably the final straw I need to transfer at least most of my activity to the other place - please find me there!

Nearly missed this as I'm trying to wean myself off X and onto the other place, but wow!! How often does a study come along that vindicates experimentally a claim you've made only theoretically?!
