New research by Pierre Azoulay, Danielle Li, Bhaven Sampat and me.

Earlier this year, the President’s budget proposed a 40% cut to the budget of the NIH. This motivated us to ask: what if the NIH had been 40% smaller?

I am getting a lot out of this exchange about p-curve -- both on the substance of the debate, and on different approaches to thinking about it. Thanks to Uri and Richard for such an interesting back-and-forth.

Simonsohn has now posted a blog response to our recent paper about the poor statistical properties of the P curve. @clintin.bsky.social and I are finishing up a less-technical paper that will serve as a response. But I wanted to address a meta-issue *around* this that may clarify some things. 1/x

Zombie movie idea. Infection symptoms are highly heterogeneous: from becoming mildly irritable to going full zombie and from lasting a few days to persisting. Little clarity about time course for any given case. Psychological drama.
