What if the best colleges in the country are the ones that help lift students to greater prosperity and economic security, not the colleges that mainly enroll students who already enjoy those benefits?

What if we spent more time talking about and supporting the colleges where most students are enrolled, rather than the ones that reject the most students? 🧵

In my opinion, I think we would all be better off if we thought of IQ not as "intelligence" but as a measure of "standardized test taking ability".

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/

This year we're switching from SPSS to Jamovi for final year UG stats teaching (in Psych). In case anyone's thinking of doing the same, or could just use some UG-friendly guides on Jamovi, here's a link to the lecture playlist 👇 Contents in 🧵... youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

15 years ago my PhD advisor taught me One Weird Trick for editing your own writing. Edit **back to front**, paragraph by paragraph. I still use it and it still surprises me how well it works. When I get my students to do it, it often blows their minds. Try it!

Scary: 73 teams tested the same hypotheses with the same data. Some found negative results, some positive, some nada. No effect of expertise or confirmation bias. "Idiosyncratic researcher variability is a threat to the reliability of scientific findings." osf.io/preprints/metaarxiv/c…

Early career researchers often stress out when they talk to more senior faculty about how many grant proposals they submit.   Don't compare. Focus on your writing process. Outcomes will follow.   Here are 5 proven tricks senior faculty use to submit more high-quality proposals:🧵
