@guidoimbens.bsky.social has entered the chat, and his view differs from what the consensus view had been.

Very interesting thread and discussion in the comments

Brad Shapiro @btshapir.bsky.social · Nov 23

If you submit your papers to me at QME, I will tell you to ignore the part of the referee report that complains about results not being surprising.

John Holbein @johnholbein1.bsky.social · Nov 23

A reviewer says to you, “your results are not surprising.”

What do you say back to them?

Agree with this even if I don't always follow it myself 🙈

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · Nov 18

A small but non-trivial hill I am willing to die on:

The abstract of every empirical paper should include the core empirical findings--numbers included!

Not "we find police reduce crime," but "we find that a 1% increase in police yields a 0.4% drop in crime."

The abstract isn't clickbait.

💯 oftentimes, the tables in your presentation shouldn't be exact replicas of the tables in your paper. You have more space on a page - no one will be able to read that same table on a presentation slide.

Even better, include figures over tables in your presentation slides.

Dr Zoë Ayres @zjayres.bsky.social · Nov 15

On the same vein, I'd love it it if people realised they can make some modified figures for their talk rather than just screenshotting a paper figure in that is far to complicated for a 15 minute talk

Want to give a good scientific talk? TELL A GOOD STORY. don’t show the audience every result, don’t give us one slide on every paper you’ve ever published. If I want to read your resume, I will. Teach me something, tell me a story.
