. @RobinGomila and I wrote a paper for psychologists on how to handle missing experimental data, and it's finally out! I had an amazing experience translating some of the data handling skills I've learned into a tool for others

4-year labor of love: 59 experiments, 34K people, 49 presidential campaign ads. Out today in @ScienceAdvances w/ @aecoppock @seth_j_hill. Ads have effects, but they are routinely small in size. Thanks to @CarnegieCorp, John Geer for supporting this work. advances.sciencemag.org/cont…

Please RT! After 4 yrs of organizing the SPSP Intervention Science preconference, it is time to pass the torch. We're looking for applications for junior (advanced grad to pre-tenured faculty) & senior (tenured/established) chairs for the precon organizing committee by May 24. 1/

New research finds that U.S. teachers “are people too,” holding almost as much pro-White racial bias as non-teachers. The authors urge more support and training for teachers to mitigate implicit biases. Read more: aera.net/Newsroom/Research-F… @nkwarikoo @triddle42 @ERjournal_AERA

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that dogs cannot get Covid-19. Dogs can be released from quarantine. I guess you could say that "WHO let the dogs out" who.int/emergencies/diseases… #dadjokes

Going into 6-figure debt and committing to a career path that'll allow me to *begin* paying off that debt when I reach age ~35. All to make science that's kept safely behind a huge paywall, inaccessible to anyone it could potentially benefit. Totally nuts, I know. #academiclife

Do you want to fill the data gap in women's health? I am looking for a ML postdoc to work at @ColumbiaDBMI on an @OHDSI network study across very large number of diseases (so far 150M+ women in the US in our cohorts, and more coming up internationally) ✊
