Daniel Lakens@lakens.bsky.social · 10mo ago

New Nullius In Verba episode on p-hacking (Part 1 of 2). We discuss why it is useful for a single term to describe all practices that untransparently inflate error rates, and what these practices are. nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/p-hacking-i/

London calling! All psyched to give a talk at the Open Research Summer School at @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social tomorrow!

PSA future employers of my students: Asking me in your reference form whether my student is "loyal and discreet" (not applying for the MoD here) and "prone to continual days off sick" is not a good look! 🤯🤯I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW! 🤯🤯

Because I have opened a BlueSky window and am procrastinating on reading final papers, let me also share what this spring has been like from my corner of the academic world.

If you'll be at APS2025 in DC next week, I'll be talking about the terrible statistical properties of the p curve procedure in the "Current Issues in Meta-Science" session Saturday, May 24th at 3pm. This will likely be my last US conference in a very long time. A brief summary follows. 1/
