Being a grad student means that if you're home for too many consecutive hours, a mental alarm bell goes off. "What day is it? Did I forget a meeting? What's my next deadline?"
The unmedicated ADHD feeling like you're trying to start a car with air in the gas line.
Happy π Day for people who estimate the prevalence of a trait in the population! And something something circles.
This came up in a meeting I'm in and I thought it worth amplifying: PhDs/advisors often forget that a person with a PhD is a manager, regardless of what sector they wind up in. We need to emphasize this in our training or we do a disservice to our mentees and junior researchers.
I'm considering buying a poster that has the Greek alphabet, along with each letter's most common usage in statistics (not mathematics, which uses them differently). Amy recommendations?
I'm not seeing much mention of this in the bsky SPSP feed so amplifying this for those unaware of what's happening. Hopefully more concrete news from @spspnews.bsky.social in the near future.
Useful spsp tip for anyone looking for a research job at a non-profit: Sign up for the Words of Mouth newsletter.
The scariest thing about conducting science is realizing how many typos I catch that would never be caught by a reviewer unless they have the time/energy to check my analyses themselves. The fact that open data was ever not required scares me in this context.
Social psych peeps - I made a feed to track all the SPSP posts. Follow it at bsky.app/profile/did:... One warning - it also captures some cat posts with pspspsps or other variations. But, frankly, I think that's exactly what the field deserves for all the ridiculous S and P acronyms.
For those who can't attend Poster Session D (e.g., other presenters) the video is now up!
