I got an email today from an LLM (identified as such in the email) saying it checked my lab notebook (kept publicly on my website and updated weekly) Told me I had a confound in a study. I did not; the email was simply a waste of my time

More than 1.2 million Texans are on the state’s Voter Suspense list ahead of the fall’s contentious midterm elections. Texans still have time to check if they’re registered to vote before the October 5 deadline. Here’s how.

I have certain days of my week that are focused on course prep, others focused on writing and research I teach a 3-3 teaching load (at least one class every day) I’ve been productive in my writing and what helped me was getting comfortable writing for 30 minutes at a time

Academics who write during term (i.e. while teaching): 1. How many classes do you teach per term? 2. How often do you write (e.g. once/wk, when you can, etc.)? 3. When do you write (e.g. weekend, morning, at night, etc.)? 4. What's the biggest barrier(s) to you writing? 5. Do you have any tips?

Mike Frank@mcxfrank.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Most of the statistical tests you learned in stats class — t-test, ANOVA, correlation — are actually special cases of a single thing: linear regression. Ch 7 of Experimentology argues that thinking in models, not tests, is more flexible and a better foundation for theory. 🧵 experimentology.io
