Absolutely terrifying. This would completely destroy American scientific research.

Some time ago I wrote a non-technical introduction to marginal effects, in case you don't know the underlying logic yet. The idea is to use your model as a prediction machine that can be queried to return answers to precisely the questions you're interested in. www.the100.ci/2022/05/27/%...

External validation is a great way to improve rigor in neuroimaging. Although a simple idea is simple—test a predictive model on another dataset—the practice is not. In our Perspective in @natmethods.nature.com, we discuss practical issues and solutions; www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So glad to finally share work years in the making! What started with fMRI effect size benchmarks ended up showing that conventional study planning detects ~half of expected brain effects, suggesting more distributed processes than the lit shows (+ new methods for mass univ effect/power estimation)

When conducting peer reviews, I increasingly think about the time & workload demands of my suggestions. If there's a flaw that needs correcting, then it needs requesting. But if I just have a preference, something that I think would 'improve the paper', then do I really need to request it?

omg just made a table describing my sample demographics with the gtsummary r package and it was SO EASY and i did not need to fiddle with microsoft word table formatting at all and i am so mad i didn't know about this sooner so consider this a PSA in case you also didn't know
