Why is #Reproducibility important for #HRI? What does it mean in #HRI context? Why did we introduce #Reproducibility theme @HRI_Conference 2020? What are the challenges for #Reproducibility in #HRI & how can we address them? See our paper @SpringerCurRpts bit.ly/3SCVmGI

Statistics bootcamp: but all it teaches you is ✅to say “it depends” when asked any question ✅to come up with clever responses to “I hated that class”, and ✅to smile while dying inside after reading your 1,057th incorrect definition of a p-value

✨Hot girls care about doing statistics well, understanding them deeply, and using their knowledge to empower others and tear down toxic and oppressive systems✨

Perfect analogy for the age of #algorithms. The dad is #AI. The kids are us. And we are not doing much better then them. #AIEthics

Forget C3PO and Commander Data. Real robots might need to be annoying, stubborn or outright rude. My latest for Slate. slate.com/technology/2021/08…

For this year's musical parody, I rewrote Bad Guy by @billieeilish to cover the Stanford Prison Experiment, much to the delight of the students in my social psychology course @UQPsych youtu.be/qTGoMklFykI

Academic writing 🧵 Having come from journalism to research, I don't like that abstracts and intros take forever to get to the point, usually starting with obvious truths and platitudes. In my field, I play "robots are entering our daily lives" bingo whenever I review a paper. 1/

As part of every scientists' education you should try to enter the data required to perform a meta analysis for let's say 10 studies in your field. There is nothing like it to make you realize how badly we currently share our results.
Doing a large-scale meta-analysis for my 1st time. I now realize how much time could be spared if data were systematically available online.
