We should care about students’ career outcomes. Teaching them R will be MUCH more helpful than Stata. Not only is R more highly valued, it also makes learning things like Python much easier.

You do not need to be an academic to visit an archive. You do not need a degree to visit an archive. There is no terrifying Don at the door grilling potential visitors. If it's your first time, a nice archivist will help you. It's our shared history, our preserved records. Go explore it.

Calling all implementation scientists: if you would like a method to identify what makes a difference, for whom, and under what conditions (including the ability to model the influence of local context), check out Coincidence Analysis. The D& I conference next week features multiple CNA studies.

One unexpected thing in my qualitative study w natural scientists (one-hour interviews) is how deeply, deeply sad the climate scientists are. They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.

oh my gosh so I am SO SORRY but this is LITERALLY what my PhD is in I am a professor of PHILOSOPHY OF ANCIENT GREEK MATH so i just hAVE to show up and defend my boy: yeah, of COURSE right triangles were a THING before pythagoras. his innovation was the generalized PROOF

In this short podcast (5 minutes long), Dr. Deborah Cragun — the author of a just-published article in the journal Genetics In Medicine — does an excellent job describing how coincidence analysis contributed unique value to a qualitative, interview-based study. www.gimjournal.org/audio-do/sep...

If you’re interested in questions related to “what makes a difference, for whom and under what conditions” you might consider Coincidence Analysis as a method. CNA is a case-based method specifically designed to analyze context and complexity through identifying “bundles” of difference-makers.

#ImplementationSky Political Science, Psychology, Neurology and Geology (among other fields) have grown dynamic communities over here in Skyland. Let’s help bring over more implementation scientists and health services researchers — HMU if you know someone who needs an invite code, I have one. ✔️

Vegetarian mixed bean chili, baguettes fresh out of the oven, sour cream, scallion, herbs, pickled cabbage and raw almonds. Turns out that was just the right amount of Guinness after all. Absolutely mouth watering 🤤 🍜 Happy autumn, folks!
