I had such a blast presenting the last project of my PhD for a flash talk and a poster at #Flux2025

Grey and white matter are not two separate tissues and we found that adversity is associated significantly differently with grey and white matter measures showing the importance of looking at both!

New paper for anyone working with data:
Better data viz - for free, in few clicks.

Below, all N = 111, M = 0.04, SD = 0.27.
One-sided t-tests vs. 0 yield: t(110) = 1.67, p = .049.

Use raincloud plots. Or risk wrong conclusions!

Are you an international early career scholar considering spending time in the Netherlands? We likely have capacity to host a Marie Curie Fellow if you are interested. Our lab (lifespancognitivedynamics.com) works on modeling cognitive change in early or later life, at short and long timescales.

A pleasant surprise this morning to hear that I am one of the 2025 @fluxsociety.bsky.social Travel Award recipients.

Very much looking forward to the conference this September in Dublin, where I will present the first batch of results from our CODEC study (doi.org/10.1186/s403...)

The Raincloud Quartet (new pre-print)

All N = 111, M = 0.04, SD = 0.27.
One-sided t-tests vs. 0 yield: t(110) = 1.67, p = .049.

Only raincloud plots reveal the qualitative differences, preventing the drawing of inappropriate conclusions.

How did we create the quartet?
Where are data & code?
🧵👇

Four raincloud plots: a normal distribution, bimodal, skewed, and one riddled with outliers. Popular sample statistics are identical so that mere plotting of the identical means and confidence intervals would miss these qualitative differences.
