Almost perfectly coincides with my lifetime, and it was quasi-magical.
Relatedly, it took almost half a day to reach my paternal village ('baari') when we were kids:
Bus>ferry>bus>minibus>rickshaw>foot.
Takes 3 hours now.

I spent much of my working day failing at setting up a cite-while-you-write routine using #quarto in #Rstats with #zotero. I tried following this helpful guideline (giancarlomcorrea.netlify.app/post/zotero-...) but I still cannot fetch my reference (I think it is because I use a shared library).

Great to see the record corrected, but I don't think Laura and David need to say "sorry."
The culture change I wish we could have: Understanding that we all make errors, and incrementally improving the processes of social science to make them rarer.
This doesn't happen through "blame and shame."

A thread about being wrong:
5 years ago, we wrote a paper about how how newly enfranchised 16-year-olds vote in Austria. But we were wrong.
This year, @elisabethgraf.bsky.social, @schnizzl.bsky.social, Sylvia Kritzinger and I are setting the record straight: authors.elsevier.com/c/1juT5xRaZk...

What are some good examples of within-treatment spillover, i.e., treatment effect for the treated who has other treated units nearby? Looking for examples outside the cash-transfer literature, and esp for information interventions.
Thanks in advance!
