Thanks to everybody who chimed in!

I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist.

So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Does anybody have a good visualization to explain how interactions can be confounded, and why interactions require interaction controls?
@urisohn.bsky.social maybe?

(Asking because I have an idea, but want to check out what exists already before investing the effort)

This is what a lot of us have been worried about.

This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs.

As a current clinical psychology PhD student (who has yet to do intership), I feel validated by the statement and fully believe in the utility of smaller incremental steps *alongside* ideas for more radical change. Compared to when I started grad school, this already seems like a notable shift.

Hi! I’m not sure, but when I experienced something similar, I pinged after a month and learned that the manuscript had been accidentally stuck in some sort of journal limbo…so I’m all for pinging sooner than that 🤷‍♀️

On the faculty job market! My research aims to enhance cognitive control by studying: (1) What mechanisms underlie willingness to engage cognitive effort? (2) How is willingness to exert effort affected in psychiatric disability? (3) How can we increase willingness to engage effort? #PsychSciSky 🧠
