Article fresh off the print (no paywall)! The tl;dr is in the quoted thread. We advance a measure of replication distance to capture differences btw an original study & its replications. We also discuss how statistics needs to go beyond ideal assumptions to serve science better.

Seems like it's not a spoof of that one, I think. Just a horror comedy in its own right, but the name may be a reference to it ofc.

Tonight's movie was Let the Wrong One In (2021). Ridiculous, silly vampire comedy. Laughed a lot. Also, Giles was a nice surprise! But had to turn on the subtitles because, wow, those Irish accents were beyond us at times.

"Normally, we should all be supporting these scientific ideals if it weren't for the administration's nefarious intentions," isn't the strong scientific stance many apparently thought it was.

Fair enough. And accurate too. I've always been more interested in the impact of mundane and persistent poor scientific practices than fraud.

This quick, mindless labeling has become a way of signaling moral and/or intellectual superiority without doing any moral or intellectual work.

It's unfortunate that "p-hacking" and "replication crisis" have become lazy heuristics to call out whatever we don't like in/about/related to science without having to engage with the content or dissect what is wrong that needs correcting.

It's older but got more mainstream after. And I believe it's not this kind of "gathering confirmatory evidence" that replication fans like but a very narrow practice they ended up accepting as confirmatory research (preregistered NHST).

idk how but somehow the 'replication crisis' brain has managed to marginalize, even illegitimize, completely normal scientific processes such as confirmation and exploration.

i've come to despise that the term "p-hacking" is now a stand-in for all kinds of lying, bullshitting, making up facts, fabricating evidence, and any misuse or abuse of science

Yeah somehow our photographers are not very good at headshots either. They don't know how to adjust the depth so it flattens the whole face into a 2-D moon with zero depth. Normally my eyes are large but in these photos they look beady and lost in face meat 😫 But so do everyone else's at least.

Amen to that! My photographer thought I was hopeless I suppose so we didn't have a second take 😅

This is something I haven't been able to figure out. Seems like that comes with the territory of wanting to pursue admin careers in academia. We open a chair/dean position, make an external hire, the chair/dean moves on to a higher admin position at the 1st opportunity. Rinse and repeat, every time.
