Deeply disappointing. Once again the @royalsociety.org has avoided explaining how *actions* by Elon Musk that clearly repudiate the Society's values are consistent with the code of conduct that Fellows must adhere to. royalsociety.org/news/2025/10...

Amateur view. AI bubble shows that there is too much money chasing too few opportunities for genuine innovation. The solution is to take a medium/long view and put much more funding into basic science in universities rather than cutting as is happening now. (But I would say that wouldn’t I?)

New paper out! 📣

Syrian refugee children (4-9 yrs) show age-related shifts in judging trustworthiness from faces — older kids tend to see faces as less trustworthy; yet judgments are not tied to child or maternal mental health.

🚨1000 authoritarian actions. 7 months🚨

I've been tracking Trump's authoritarian actions. From dismantling democratic institutions to militarising immigration enforcement, Trump is reshaping America.

In my new post I highlight key authoriarian attacks

A special highlight for me was having an endorsement from Massimiliano Pastore, my stats prof during my studies, appear on the back cover. His support makes this book one of the most rewarding achievements of my career so far
Endorsement from Massimiliano Pastore, Professor of Psychometrics, University of Padua, Italy: “An invaluable resource that bridges the gap between statistical theory and practical application, providing a unified approach to common statistical tests through the lens of linear models.”

Among other things, we tried to use recent open datasets from contemporary research to make examples feel fresh and relevant. We also cover slightly more advanced topics, including multilevel linear and logistic models, while keeping the material accessible to students.

Matteo Lisi @mlisi.bsky.social · Aug 21
And while we are both enthusiastic about Bayesian methods, in the book we stick to frequentist approaches. These remain the most widely used in the psychology literature students encounter.

But we point readers to excellent resources such as by @rmcelreath.bsky.social and @avehtari.bsky.social

We place strong emphasis on effect sizes & estimation, and confidence intervals — alongside p-values — so students appreciate the multiple way to make inferential decisions.

We also made some deliberate design choices. For example, although we mention the tidyverse, the book is mostly based on base R. We think it’s important that undergraduates also get exposed to core coding concepts (e.g. loops), which can otherwise be hidden by handy higher-level tidyverse functions.

There is lots of code and hands-on R examples. We emphasize simulations as key tool for power and sensitivity analyses, and discuss reproducible practices, taking inspiration from the principles of open science.

We also wanted to go beyond providing a set of applied "recipes". The book introduces key ideas from probability theory and causal inference to promote more solid foundations for research and statistical literacy. For example, we discuss probability spaces, DAGs, data-generating processes, and more.

This book was a labour of love. We aimed to provide psychology undergraduates a fresh approach to statistics, based on a unified framework where t-tests, ANOVA, regression, and multilevel models are all taught as special cases of the linear model.

We find temporal confounds in fMRI that emulate neural patterns of perceptual learning.

These can be hard to spot with conventional RSA, but may influence our understanding of how prior knowledge shapes perception.
