We got to see San Francisco’s drag laureate tonight. Worth every penny (and every $1 bill) 💸

Downside of getting married in the summer is that every conference I want to go to is the weekend of my anniversary

I have a full course on R for Psychology and Neuroscience, which includes sample programs and lecture videos. Also has some recommended books on R programming. Perfect for beginners!

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

*looking for homes to buy in the LA area*

Me: “Oh, look. That one is only 1.25 million. That’s the most reasonable one I’ve seen.”

*reading the description*

Me: “The home is not presently habitable and there are health and safety concerns.”

Almost every great thing in my life has come through social media: my 3 best friends, my husband, and almost every career opportunity and collaboration. I have no idea what my life would look like if not for social media because it has been so integral to my personal joy and professional success.

Predictable and disturbing new paper out in Psychology of Men and Masculinities: In a synthesis of studies, hegemonic masculinity is associated with the objectification of women and propensity to disseminate nonconsensual intimate images. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-99412-001

Tonight, I made mushroom risotto, drank white wine, and spent the evening listening to Eleri Ward’s acoustic covers of Sondheim’s music… I do believe this is peak living.

Would say intermediate for a psychologist, I guess. Perhaps beginner for a statistician. Have taken many stats classes + psychometrics + SEM, but hoping to learn more about topics like logged-ranked tests, survival analysis curves, etc. Haven’t had to use these in my research so far!

A Just Asking Questions Effect for spreading false information.
This thread is an overview of my lab’s research that I presented at Psychonomics this morning. #psynow24

TLDR: Getting people to generate their own false answers leads them to believe that info. 1/

Would love some recommendations for biostats texts! Especially biostatistics using R. Feeling a little out of my depth with this, but hoping to find a great resource for self-teaching.

My new op-ed with @lkfazio.bsky.social:

Trump sent a 'compact' to our universities. They should reject this devil's bargain.
Any institution that yields to these broad and intrusive demands would forever be subservient to the whims of the government.

My favorite game to play at bars in San Francisco bars is, “Are these two lovers, friends from work, or lovers from work?”

Spending a few days in Bloomington, IN, later this month to visit @kinseyinstitute.bsky.social! I’ve never been before, but would love anyone’s recommendations for cute dinner spots or fun things to do in the area. (We’re also visiting Indianapolis, so those recs are also welcome) 🤗
