The discussion and engagement was so good on this over the last few weeks that I went ahead and added 2 whole new sections to this blog post (worth checking out if you already read this!): I reflect on the discussions and fun that we had as well as provide more resources and a call to action.

Our community must take this issue very seriously! ideally, we'd post these publicly: raw_no_pii.csv cleaning.R clean.rds analysis.R but destroy or archive privately: raw.csv remove_pii.R (was glad to see in this thread political science apparently does better than other fields but still)

Exactly a year ago, a paper claimed apple cider vinegar was as effective as Ozempic for weight loss. Clearly wrong. This is the story of exactly one year of dealing with this paper. And the very normal, very complete failure of governance that resulted. open.substack.com/pub/jamescla...

Might be taste, but I find it far easier to grasp experimental results in a figure of contrasts rather than a regression table. Simple setup-4 experimental conditions (control and 3 dosage levels) interacted with pid, 5pt dv (a typical design). From this table-how does pid interact with dose?

New visualization tool alert! The vayr package version 1.0.0 is now on CRAN. It contains position adjustments for ggplot2 that help with overplotting in pleasing ways. My favorite is position_sunflower(). - install.packages("vayr") - alexandercoppock.com/vayr #rstats #ggplot2 #dataviz

Climate Terminology Does Not Matter Across tens of thousands of participants in two large-scale experiments, we found that labeling climate change in different ways had no effect on their stated willingness to act. jayvanbavellab.substack.com/p/climate-te... via @dgoldwert.bsky.social

🧵 Why do facts often change beliefs but not attitudes? In a new WP with @yamilrvelez.bsky.social and @scottclifford.bsky.social, we caution against interpreting this as rigidity or motivated reasoning. Often, the beliefs relevant to people’s attitudes are not what researchers expect.
