I use the census data all the time in my research so it would be neat to be a bigger part of the data collection

I was in my 30s and had lived in Canada several years before I realized the result of the War of 1812 was inconclusive rather than a resounding American victory.

#1 mistake: Thinking that post-hoc power is a thing. It's kinda like budgeting for your reno after the contractors are finished. It's too late. For engagement, distract them with a shiny app? pwrss.shinyapps.io/index/ Everyone loves pretty graphs

Canada should be rolling out the welcome mat for American scientists. Instead post-secondary funding is being frozen or cut. Huge missed opportunities

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

For sure. I don't want substandard writing going to reviewers. I'm just a bit worried I may be forcing students into my particular writing style.

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?

The key bit for QI vs. research is intention to improve a local process vs. intention to produce generalizable knowledge. The methods shouldn't be less rigorous. But there is less oversight so the quality varies a lot.

Exactly and it's the primarily descriptive papers that suffer the most from this. People think they need to pad out their descriptive work with some regression modelling when they really shouldn't.

Aaron Jones @profaaronjones.bsky.social · 02/11/2023
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.
