Here is a list of things I wish Tom Bartlett (@tebartl) had done better in covering SIPS for this @chronicle article chronicle.com/article/I-Want…
1. Talked to more than one woman in SIPS. They are about half of the organization's members
2. Reflected the large number of people who talked about community-building and expressed optimism at the opening session, not just the people expressing frustration (yes, cover that too b/c it's real, but in proportion)
3. Covered the constructive, forward-looking grassroots work that members did at the conference. Here is a list of hackathon topics:

Making open science more diverse and inclusive
How to create and get open science job
Teaching replicable science
...
Creating a preregistration template for secondary data analysis
Facilitating scientific self-correction in psychology
Creating a replicability-related methods reform FAQ
Sharing replicable research in science communication
...
Inspiring journal editors and boards to promote transparency
Improving diversity and inclusion in hack-a-thon products
--
I will 100% defend error-correction as a constructive part of science and it is welcome at SIPS, but it's not the only thing osf.io/xa4gb/
4. Found a better description than "data thugs." That phrase is so played out medium.com/@jamesheathers…
5. Represented a range of views among SIPS members, which includes a lot of hope for the future. Basing "combustible language at SIPS" on one person is lazy journalism. Include this view, yes, but don't make it a stand-in for the whole org because you didn't talk to enough people
6. Not allowed anonymous sources to state facts that were not checked or challenged. How many people are actually, seriously considering leaving the field because of SIPS or the broader reform movement? Is this an actual trend?
7. Gotten this fact correct. Is it small and petty of me to point it out? Probably. But when I teach and give talks I refer to 2011 as a watershed year b/c of Bem and False-Positive Psychology. This misstep jumped out at me
To close, to anyone still reading: If you want to know what SIPS is actually like, talk to people in it. There's room for - and already likeminded people with - all kinds of perspectives. SIPS Prez @katiecorker (who wasn't interviewed) gets the last word: cos.io/blog/open-scie…

Let's talk cross-lagged panel models! A short example/provocation, inspired by some discussion yesterday
Say you have 2 things you're interested in, X and Y, each measured at 2 times. You want to know does X cause Y, Y cause X, or both? (or if you're shy about saying "cause" you say "lead to," "predict," "is a risk factor for," "Granger-cause," etc.).
X and Y could be anything, e.g.:
* Depression and stress
* A personality trait and a social role
* Parental something and child something else
* This brain region and that brain region

So you decide to run 2 regressions:
x2 ~ x1 + y1
y2 ~ x1 + y1

One of the issues @alexa_tullett, @siminevazire, and I talked about in this episode is a super important and kinda counterintuitive question (b/c superficially it feels unscientific): When should you believe research you do not understand? (thread)
This question was posed really well by @NaomiOreskes, who pointed out that even scientists do not have the subject-matter and technical expertise to evaluate all of the science they consume and rely on ted.com/talks/naomi_or…
Oreskes proposes that we should accept scientific consensus as a kind of argument from authority - but a special one because the "authority" is a community of experts

Coverage of the new multi-study replication project by @edyong209, who dives in to why the prediction market was so effective and what that means theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
One important thing that the prediction market did is change the cost-benefit analysis for expressing hunches as behavior
Normally, if a scientist looks at a study and thinks "hmmmm, that can't be right," there are costs to expressing that out loud. These costs come in 2 layers

I want to tell you guys a story about how it all started #10YearsALearner #10YALpodcast
In 2008, I worked as a PR and marketing executive at an event and image consulting company in VI and I was treated well. But I wanted more. I wanted a bigger challenge so I told Kely dear friend and inspiration @iamtheOsagie #10YearsALearner #10YAL
@iamtheOsagie 2 weeks later.. I got a call from @iamtheOsagie and that was the beginning of an adventure…

O: Hey Godwin. Are you still bored?
Me: lol… You have something for me?
O: Would you like to manage an artist?
me: Who?
O: His name is MI
me: ok… send music

Alright, time for the bugout bag thread. This is going to be a long one because it's going to be a bit broader than strictly BOBs, so I probably won't get it done all in one go.
A BOB is typically defined as a pack that will allow you to survive for a minimum of 72 hours without access to infrastructure or resupplying. These are sometimes called 3-day bags, go bags, assault packs, get out of dodge (GOOD) bags, etc.
I'll go over utilizing these in a team setting as well as a few other types of supplementary packs later on in this thread. My terminology may not be 100% technically correct all the time, but whatever.

1/ I followed the advice of @sarahkendzior on November 20, 2016. I wrote down what I valued; what standards I held for myself and for others. I wrote about my dreams for the future and my hopes for my children. thecorrespondent.com/5696/were-head…
2/ I wrote my biography and I wrote down my memories, because Sarah K. cautioned that if I did not do it then, I may forget. I wrote a list of things I would never do, because Sarah K. warned that it was possible that in the ensuing year, I would do them.
3/ I wrote a list of things I would never believe, because Sarah K. suggested it was possible that in the following year, I would either believe them or be forced to say I believed them.

Story time, #emptythepews edition.

Warning: suicidal ideation, depression, conversion therapy, unsupportive parents, Christian fundamentalism.

You have been warned.

Story begins in the next tweet.
1: Once upon a time in the late 90s, there were common websites, basic cable and magazines that put out various hotlines you could call in a crisis. If not, there were search engines where you could find the numbers to places like BoysTown and the Suicide Prevention Hotline etc.
2: My parents were SUPER controlling. So much so, that we felt the control in every little way, and suspected other means of control that we did not verify until we had all moved out.
Raised in the QF/ATI-adjacent communities, you can guess at what levels there were,.

Here are some thoughts from someone who is currently classed as obese re: fat shaming and how to get people to lose weight.

First of all, this news story has been in my mind a lot.
Secondly, I'm going to talk about eating disorders, mental health generally, sexual assault and body image.

Still here? Okay.

Times in my life I have not been obese: all my life until around the age of 23 at which point I put on a LOT of weight.
Times in my life I have been underweight: whilst I was in the grips of a nasty eating disorder in my teenage years. I was not classed as underweight in terms of BMI but I was so skinny my periods remained irregular and I couldn't run the length of myself.
