In all likelihood a favourite Bayesian beer.

Woke up this morning from a dream in which I showed up in the living room of a researcher whose analysis I was trying to understand and yelled "SHOW ME YOUR DAAAAAAGS" If I ever do this in real life feel free to call the police

Oh god, is this the venom coursing through my veins that has caused me to fill my project ideas spreadsheet with methods/metascience/science-of-science stuff I'm completely unqualified to do?

Came to my first @improvingpsych.org conference hoping to find My People. During the first coffee break, ended up talking with @priyasilverstein.com and @lillianistrying.bsky.social as if we'd known each other for years, and every conversation since then has had similar ease. My heart is full.

I can't be the only one who hears this, right? #statsmeme

At coffee with @ihandleyminer.bsky.social yesterday, discussed how to do metascience stuff and challenge current practices without being perceived as a jerk. Concluded that one needs to be charming and approachable on a podcast and/or on social media. And we are not starting a podcast. So.
