It was quite interesting – did wonder though what ecologists would have to say about it. My favorite presentation of the day though was by @ambra-prg.bsky.social on meta-analyses ... still thinking about her question of how big the problem should be for it to be a problem ...

This is in my opinion one of the best papers I have written. It moved preregistration from 'let's do it because it is good' to 'let's do it when we have this philosophy of science'. It still provides the most coherent argument for why to adopt it in the metascientific literature.

It's important to be able to go beyond statistical folklore and yesterday Jelle Goeman reminded us of that! Visiting from Leiden University, he shared an insightful view on correcting for multiple testing within the Bayesian framework. A real pleasure to hear and exchange ideas!
