The kids these days are usually first of all "the kids " (age effects), maybe also a bit "these days" (period effects) but rarely ever "the kids these days" (cohort effects)

It's finally here! I gave a TED talk in April in Vancouver, and it was released online today. You can watch it here: ted.com/talks/saloni... I've also adapted it into an article, which was published last week: worksinprogress.co/issue/future...

Da das so gut geklappt hat: Falls jemand von euch ca. Mitte September ein neues Sofa braucht, meine Eltern haben da eins abzugeben. Seid gewarnt: es hat ein schönes florales Boomer-Eltern Muster.

I read Project Hail Mary today! The two biggest insights: 1) It was my first science fiction book in a loooong time, but I should get back into them - they're great! 2) Reading the book made me appreciate the movie even more in hindsight. It's a really really solid adaption 8/10, nice light read.

Ian Hussey (@ianhussey.mmmdata.io) contacted me about the recurring problem of unusually large SMD values appearing in published meta-analyses. Very large SMDs can result from using SEs in place of SDs in their calculation, which is a mistake I have also seen in practice. 1/4

Ich bin fassungslos, schockiert, zu tiefst traurig. Wenige Meter neben meinem täglichen Arbeitsort, ein Platz der freien Gesellschaft und des frohen Lebens. Das Unfassbare und Schreckliche ist plötzlich so nah und unerbittlich. Meine Gedanken sind bei den Opfern und ihren Angehörigen. #Leipzig

A peaceful car frei tag to all who celebrate

Got invited to the rehearsal of a real ted talk today and the speaker didn't end on "thanks for coming to my Ted Talk". My expectations of reality have been challenged.

@matschlin.bsky.social made a very helpful slide deck for me to understand what counts as kuchen versus torte, and I’m literally going through every slide saying “WHAT?!” at my laptop screen WHAT??! How is a donut a pancake

Friendly Reminder that the idea that fluid intelligence declines from early adulthood on is mostly based on cross-sectional comparisons (which are heavily influenced by the flynn effect). Some authors argue that real changes start only in the 60s. This debate is still far from settled imho

The best subgenre of the "Study with me" YouTube videos: Study with me in Skyrim.

I get irrationally angry when people utilize hierarchical APC models in big longitudinal datasets and then report that +++BREAKING NEWS+++ contrary to all expectations cohort effects have turned out to be negligible!

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Don't you f**king dare.
