As usual, excellent tech support from Mplus this week. I’m not sure if I should feel excited or dismayed that the next version will have a new error message to prevent the exact issue I’ve had this week. Did I…find a new way to mess up in Mplus? #stats #AcademicTwitter

Sorry my review is late. Agreeing to review and provide constructive feedback on this manuscript has thrown me into a minor existential crisis, resulting in reconsideration of my participation in this field. But I plan to have it to you by the end of the week!

Jessica Schleider, PhD So many data cleaning mistakes over the years: Misaligning partner data when APIMing, leaving a filter on when computing new variables and thus only running analyses on ~33% of participants, switching the labels on two behavioral codes before merging them into the master dataset

Gene expression peeps - we need your collective hive mind - just had a manuscript rejected for low sequencing coverage - but our study is Tag-based RNA-Seq with 5-6 million raw reads per sample which I've always assumed is fine. I want to submit a rebuttal - thoughts?

Jessica Schleider, PhD Spelled my own name wrong in the website link on my CV and applied to a bunch of jobs with it. Had to buy the incorrect domain name and redirect it to the correct website. Thankfully no one already owned the typo version.

Jessica Schleider, PhD I recently discovered that in my fully signed and submitted dissertation proposal paper, there’s a rather misfortunate typo... Instead of “participant pool,” it reads, “participant poo.” Neither I nor any of of my committee members caught it. Whoops! #AcademicTwitter
