It's just so important to see things from a different angle. So here is how an IT helpdesk experienced the #Crowdstrike outage. 🧵 Please, read this even if you no interest in IT or know nothing about it. It doesn't matter. It's about appreciation for those who keep us going.

We are happy to release the first results of a RCT of a US program that provided $1,000/month unconditionally for 3 years to 1,000 individuals in the treatment group, with a group of 2,000 people receiving $50/month serving as the control. These are sizable transfers. 1/ 🧵

This is correct. I will add that I think we spend too little time thinking about measurement error

#statstab #152 Common Pitfalls in Research Design, Data Analysis, and Reporting Maarten van Smeden Thoughts: "Without such errors, research would, at the very least, be more informative". Good list for ECRs. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… #research #design #methodology #causalinference

#statstab #155 Power & Sample Size calculations for ordinal data {Hmisc} Thoughts: An appropriate sample size is just as important as an appropriate (ordinal) analysis. Nice guide for a 2-group design with a Likert-type DV. #ordinal #NHST #poweranalysis library.virginia.edu/data/articles/…

Old but good (2016): "we perform a 2,000 user, 250,000 trial online experiment to study the effects of slider appearance [Likert vs VAS]. We find that decorations along the slider considerably bias the distribution of responses" dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/28…

Why numbers are sometimes better than words. What people think you say when you say “little chance,” “probably not,” or “highly likely.”

The attitude that helps most with intense stress is not mindfulness. It’s hope. In hard times, it’s overwhelming to live only in the present. What brings strength is anticipating a brighter future. Resilience lies in remembering that today's burdens may be lighter tomorrow.

1/10 Very excited to announce that my thesis project is now a preprint! We present the first detailed study of mental imagery in human ventral temporal cortex, bringing together the interests of Doris Tsao and Ueli Rutishauser. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What happens when we break down DSM diagnoses into their individual symptoms and rebuild our classification system from the ground up? Do we see familiar DSM constructs, HiTOP dimensions, or something else entirely? New paper out today! ✨ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/21… 1/🧵
