Tell me about a course you took and loved that was NOT part of your academic major. For me, I loved my history course on Europe Between the World Wars. It was a side of history I had never learned before. I also took a ceramics class that was fun even though I wasn't good at it. #AcademicSky #EduSky

I was very lucky to receive a high-quality liberal arts education. It not only gave me a broad multi-disciplinary base of knowledge but it also inspired me to want to learn more about biology, psychology, history, political science, art, philosophy, and many other disciplines. #EduSky #AcademicSky

When I say #EducationForAll I mean it. I'm so happy this year to be leading a faculty learning community exploring ways to support neurodivergent students in the classroom. Remove those barriers! #EduSky #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #CogSci

The thing I love about being a faculty member is that I can continue to learn, even 17 years after my last degree. Having just tackled R, I'm next setting my sights on Unity game design #EduSky #AcademicSky

What are your technology solutions for online data collection? I'm always looking for new ways to collect data from hard-to-reach samples but have no research funding. I've used PsychoPy with Pavlovia.org and jsPsych with Cognition.run but I'm looking for other options #AcademicSky #CogSci

To close #AprSciLiteracy, let's examine internal and external validity. You've heard of "correlation does not indicate causation", right? Sadly, social media and the news often imply causation when the method doesn't permit it. 1/5 #PsychSciSky

Dr. LLL @dr-lll.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

If we can't rely on p values, what can we rely on? Effect sizes! Every statistical test has measures of effect sizes to consider, and many journals now require authors to include effect sizes for their statistical tests. 1/2 #AprSciLiteracy #PsychSciSky

Dr. LLL @dr-lll.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Continuing our discussion of p values in #AprSciLiteracy we need to talk about the unethical practices of p-hacking and HARKing. These practices exploit the scientific process to increase publications, funding, or even fame. 1/5 #PsychSciSky

An important component of #AprSciLiteracy is distinguishing between media portrayals of scientists and how modern scientists actually spend their time. Scientists don't sit in a chair for hours just thinking anymore. 1/5 #PsychSciSky

Dr. LLL @dr-lll.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

An important component of research ethics is the role of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in reviewing scientific research before it is conducted and being able to step in if abuses occur. 1/3 #AprSciLiteracy #PsychSciSky

Dr. LLL @dr-lll.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Continuing my spotlight on #AprSciLiteracy ... why are ethics so important in science? Psychology and other branches of science have a long history of abuses of marginalized people. 1/4 #PsychSciSky

WHOA -- this is soooo cool and very needed!!! I hope this takes off. Contribute local stories about federal cuts for a Tracking Map to go live next week. Contribute here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... More context here: www.linkedin.com/posts/abigai...

Tracking Federal Cuts Mapping Project
This form allows you to contribute to the Tracking Federal Cuts Map with local stories about how the cuts are impacting your community.

The goal of this is to better inform the public about the impact the firings of civil servants, withdrawal of funding, and termination of programs may have on everyday Americans across every state.

The intent of this project is informational. With things moving so fast on so many levels, it is hard to know how changes made in Washington, D.C. will impact us. We hope this map will help put a face to these changes.
We are a group of grad and PhD students working on collecting stories from across the country and need your help!

What impacts are being reported where you are?
