Posting from the persona of my day job as a research scientist studying #adolescence, early life #adversity, and #cognition using intensive #longitudinal designs and #fMRI.

I'm mostly a methods and scientific #computing nut with a strong streak of scientific #critique and desire to improve scientific practice including #OpenScience and #philosophyofscience.

I think a more just society is possible. I think improving adolescent #wellbeing depends on expanding opportunities.

#introduction

How can we improve inference and replicablility in #DevCogNeuro? Let's 1) strongly demarcate confirmatory NHST from exploration; 2) reward explicitly exploratory work. We offer a set of tools and strategies we think are well suited to how many in #DCN do their work https://psyarxiv.com/ez5sf

Super interesting thread...scroll down for the meat of it.

This IQ adoption study is circulating due to a recent controversy surrounding the lead author.

I've read it and want to explain how it's wrong. It jumps to a conclusion which isn't supported by the data or methods and only bolsters the fallacy of genetic determinism

"This mediation analysis is just association" is one of the most baffling claims commonly accepted in just so many subfields of medical/health/epi research.

To clarify, where and when to mask, risks of getting covid as a vaccinated not-at-risk individual.

What's your source for actually good advice on covid risk and mitigation at this point? Been a while since I re-up'd my evidence base.

Lots of varried opinions on here about this how strange for Twitter. But I've heard people say, even if it's not offensive, it can be painfully boring.

No matter how sweetly you ask it, “Where are you from?” is not a polite question.

Slightly better. "a baby sitting in a saloon drinking a beer with a grizzly bear, old photograph"

It's not just that what is depicted only roughly resembles the prompt, but also that these babies are horrors, like francis bacon popes. https://twitter.com/flourn0/status/1559618525534294017

But bluegrass and not those ppl

Not trying to troll. Sorry folks who are actually at work today.

Happy Sunday. Looking for recs for psychedelic raucous bluegrass. Like mountain goats and father John Misty.

This is stupid but got chills when I saw review invitation accepted.
