An effective example of plotting individual data. Here, in Fig 1, each gray line shows one movie (left) or song (right), and the red lines show the average.

This cool new crowdsourced paper with 5000 participants who played a game called Glyph provides evidence that visual (written) language is less efficient than auditory (spoken) language.

Interesting that different approaches to data cleaning/exclusion are the largest source of variation in reported results when different economists analyzed the same data. Also, most reported results are pretty similar, despite these variations, which is encouraging.

This is an important point. Affirmative action + DEI were never about lowering any bars, it's that the "bars" are slanted and misshaped. It's about solving instrument failure that leaves many of the best candidates overlooked.

Thanks for the kind words Martin! Anyone interested can find the open access book at modernstatisticswithr.com and/or get physical copies where books are sold (the second edition, published by Chapman & Hall last year, has a different cover than the first edition seen in the image).

Instead of cutting costs for working families, Donald Trump is slashing the federal investments that fund their lifesaving care, fuel their local economy, and lower their health care costs. It’s cruel, short-sighted, and will cost jobs and devastate millions of families.

I’ve been seething and grieving since yesterday’s Friday Night Massacre of NIH overheads, a seeming bit of bureaucratic trivial that will in fact destroy the US university system if unchecked. But I want to get away from budgets and rate breakdowns and F&A percentages for a moment. Humor me?

On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This @natrevpsych.bsky.social paper on self-control by @wilhelmhofmann.bsky.social is one of the papers that had the biggest impact on my thinking this year. Will's call for going beyond the individual level (e.g., willpower) & considering environmental/societal factors is critically important.
