Over here just trying my best to make things better despite the odds. One small step at a time. 😭
🚨 Public good alert: I put together a list of 100+ free datasets for social science research, spanning a large number of topics. I hope it's useful for students, researchers, and anyone looking for interesting data to explore. It's on GitHub - contributions welcome! github.com/toddrjones/d...

Fascinating account showing how a false claim can become widely accepted (and propagated by multiple independent sources) as a result of a common academic shortcut: citing a source you haven't actually read after seeing it cited by another source: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
Academic urban legends - Ole Bjørn Rekdal, 2014
Many of the messages presented in respectable scientific publications are, in fact, based on various forms of rumors. Some of these rumors appear so frequently,...

You can do it. Your watch is almost over. 🥹❤️
Say what you want… but “sit still to learn” isn’t backed the way people think it is. Movement doesn’t mean distraction. For students, it could help them produce more creative ideas.
I swear if I see "actionable insights", "outcomes", "landscapes", "enhanced", "support mechanisms", or "contexts" one more time in academic papers submitted to journals OR student writing... I think I'll internally combust. It's obvious that you've used AI.
Identification matters, especially when funding depends on it. But it only works if it leads to meaningful support. Otherwise, we’re focusing more on who qualifies than what students actually need.
What’s the difference between school psychology and educational psychology in the United States?
I wrote today about a big study on replication--and why it's so hard to know if a study will hold up or not. Gift link: nyti.ms/4sNu3MF

Are your students citing ChatGPT? Make it simple with APA Style’s four reference elements: author, date, title, and source. apastyle.apa.org/blog/cite-ge...
We are constantly bombarded with the doom and gloom in the news (I get it, it's freaking awful). However, I'm trying to focus on what I can control (like cleaning my office) and find little sparks of joy to escape into. Anyone else?
It is really freeing to consider alternate paths from academia. It's not that I wouldn't still love to be a professor in the future, but I also love the idea of creating a research pathway for myself outside of academia that could grow and help more people.
Setting my default answer to no when asked to review anything for a while. I need to finish my own papers!
The 2 things I commonly find are: 1 - Conflation of correlation and causation 2 - Making assumptions that are neither evident in the data nor within their control (e.g., "He gets no support at home.")
Data literacy is a major issue. I've seen a lot of very well-meaning teachers and admins use very slick data systems to make terrible decisions.
Schools have more data than ever. The real challenge isn’t collecting data. It’s turning it into decisions that actually improve learning.
In education research, the hardest problems are rarely statistical. They're usually measurement problems. Garbage in, Garbage out...
It's always interesting when students treat APA 7th guidelines less like directions and more like creative suggestions.
