Our (@vkempe, @NikolayBorcho) paper on literacy acquisition in the context of exposure to multiple language varieties is out now in Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition! psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d… Summary here: xitter.cf/glenn_pwill/status/143…
Replying to @glenn_pwill
Lots of us grow up speaking a language variety (e.g. Geordie, Dundonian, etc.) that differs from the one we acquire literacy in at school (e.g. Standard British English). Does this cause us any problems when acquiring literacy?

As I heard someone repeat the trope that frequentist statistics was developed to promote an eugenicist agenda, here is your reminder that Jerzey Neyman, who created the approach most scientists use to test hypotheses, was a better human being than you are. daniellakens.blogspot.com/20…

I'm very proud of this work with @drminkster and @jeffdoran and so happy to see it in print! Thanks for having me on the project and for letting me take a run at the data 🙏
About 5 years in the making, I am exceptionally proud of this... actual blood, sweat and tears went into this project (and a lot of saliva). Great working with you @jeffdoran @glenn_pwill Thanks to @GNairambulance and @phemcc delegates @bialfoundation #emergencymedicine #hems

It really does not bode well for our society that politicians and corporations keep trying to destroy both entire repositories of knowledge and culture and our access to them while also championing AI tools that consistently plagiarize and provide incorrect information
BREAKING: The Internet Archive has lost its appeal in Hachette v. Internet Archive, the long-running, closely watched copyright case over the scanning and lending of print library books. Full story to follow.

This might be of interest to those in the #Julia community. Mixed effects models, marginal means, and all that fun
New blog post! 🚨 Here, I show how to manually calculate estimated marginal means and their standard errors along with pairwise tests, confidence intervals, and test statistics for mixed effects models fitted in Julia glennwilliams.me/blog/posts/…

While @Conservatives broke their own rules and did this, my dad spent the last weeks of his life alone without visitors. Do not believe their lies. If they were going to do what they promise, they could’ve done it by now.

Unfortunately, a tabloid newspaper has got hold of a music video I recorded in Islington North with an iconic grime artist I've admired for years. They are planning to publish a heavily edited clip, so I'm releasing the full version myself. Watch here: tinyurl.com/yeymfb96

For instance, you wouldn't spend £37bn on a test and trace system that didn't work, would you?
You will always be better at spending your own money than the government is.

I had some great chats with people while presenting my research on #psychobiological responding during #HighFidelity #EmergencyMedicine training @connectAPS in Brighton. Looking forward to presenting this work to my funders @bialfoundation next week

Making steady progress with my stimulus presentation software for eye-tracking experiments. Think Ibex but for eye-tracking. Can be used with any eye-tracker via Python APIs. It now has all the features needed for a typical reading experiment. github.com/tmalsburg/chamois
