Today’s lesson: think long and hard about the data generating process. Sleep on it, think again. Draw diagrams. Write it down. Talk about it. A single neglected detail can break your research design—and it can hide in plain sight the first few times.

Just found out that MPSA recordings are completely downloadable... is that... okay? Is that something I agreed to? Did we agree on not disclosing them anywhere? #MPSA2021 #mpsa21 #MPSA Because I've already been in sessions where people were drinking/sharing personal stories?

Twitter friends, what's the best way to break down the fear and anxiety around methods courses for undergrads? Specifically for those with the limiting beliefs that "I'm just not a math/stats kind of person." Would love to know if there are best practices.

I am hoping to do - a summary thread when the production is done/online first view is out, and - produce a set of slides/shiny app that can be used to teach regression with this paper. (I'm going to commit myself to it with this tweet! 😄)
