I have been a part of five psychology/public health departments over the years. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself — when I was really struggling and unhappy and felt like I didn’t belong in the field at all — how different your social experience can be from institution to institution.

So much statistics discourse orbits around Bayes verses frequentist debates, but in practice Bayes verses frequentist is often a false dichotomy. Just as important as the inferential strategy is the underlying model, and how that model is specified. 🧵

formalizing this process is fraught. This requires a bottom up cultural change starting with doctoral training. Top down impositions such as citation diversity statements come with a lot of other risks.
