Fitting a generalized mixed model with a gamma distribution log link and random slopes to reaction time data to arrive at precisely the same point estimate as the authors did by simply averaging and conducting a t-test:

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

Wow that paper is delicious. If #MachineLearning can predict from an image of the knee whether the person has eaten refried beans in the past 12 months, overfitting/overinterpretation/declaring noise as signal must be in play. Predicting weird outcomes is a great way to do bullshit detection.

Our recent work featured in CBC news. Too many patients are dying in hospital waiting to be discharged. ED/hospital overcrowding has its root cause in lack of adequate capacity in community and subacute settings. www.cbc.ca/news/health/... #MedSky

Updated overnight and my default font on Microsoft apps has shifted from Calibri to Aptos. Naturally my immediate reaction is that I hate it. Any font nerds out there to help me decide if I should just roll with it? Could be an opportune moment to pick a different font entirely. #AcademicSky

Dear #AcademicSky I'm new to the senior author role and am fighting the urge to rewrite large portions of my students' papers. How heavy a hand do you wield when editing for clarity and style?

Hey #EpiSky do you frequently find students (or researchers) feel they must include a multiple regression analysis in every paper? There's a perception that the paper is not complete otherwise. We need to teach students that regression is not a 🔨 to be used in every quantitative analysis.
