Matthew B Jané Your post, and the linked McPhetres & Pennycook and the Funder & Ozer paper on people underestimating effect sizes inspired me to take 'effect size benchmarks' that Funder & Ozer shared and plot them in a Likert group difference context to show how unimpressive they might look

Colette Delawalla M.A., M.S. Industry applied research jobs—I spend my day doing my own research or presenting my research to decision makers. I spend way more time doing research than I ever did on the tenure track.

I've been putting together a book on modeling that I hope will appeal to a wide range of audiences, with examples in Python/R.

You can check out the in-progress work at: m-clark.github.io/book-of-models/. Hope you find it useful, and feedback is appreciated as we continue to work on it!

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

How often do authors report SES in developmental research and why does it matter? Our recent paper (in press, Dev Sci) presents an in-depth analysis of SES reporting in 6 developmental journals and offers recommendations for greater attentiveness to SES. osf.io/preprints/psya…

In 2014, when a brain tumor put me in the ICU for a couple of wks & brain surgery put me out of work for 4mons, I afforded that incident ONLY because of the generosity of VA colleagues that donated their sick/vacation time to me. Otherwise, I would’ve been SOL.

Apparently, some programs pay way better than others...

Over next 2mons, I'd like to clean up + expand options in PyReliMRI. For example, I am thinking of including event locked BOLD ROI timeseries plots &/or connectivity matrix ICCs. All calculated based on paths points to files.
Any thoughts/preferences?
