Working with upperclass undergraduates and talking about careers in psychology. I feel like I can provide a general overview of things, then get specific with clinical psych. However, I'm at a loss when it comes to other areas.

What are some resources you've used for students? #PsychSciSky

Been working to create more accessible tools for getting started with R for psychologists. GitHub Pages has been a great tool for allowing me to do this (dharaden.github.io/psyc640/). Aiming to create another site for a broader audience and would love suggestions!

We're going to see a lot of bullshit in the coming days and weeks about "causes of autism", and most will be based on flawed, over-interpreted observational studies (1/n)

Really proud of what I've got so far for my Grad Stats course. I wanted to create something that could be easily looked back on or referred to. A lot of students are uncomfortable with R (and most of the stats), so I'm trying to create an open and supportive environment. dharaden.github.io/psyc640/

Finally feeling like I can take a peek at this space again! Hello to everyone here again. Look forward to some hot takes and random memes with some science! Probably more Bluey than science.

What'd I miss out on? Have y'all heard about this Bem guy?

I was once asked, "Is it weird that my intro psych professor assigned the final paper as a reflection on a debate whether or not a certain argument is pseudoscience? It strikes me as out of place." My response was: It's not out of place of all. 1/6 #AprSciLiteracy #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

New blog post! In which I explain the issue with mediation analysis and sketch out one way to deal with the underlying causal inference problem -- in just a bit over 1,000 words!

If you have never found the time to read up on this, now is your chance.

Reviewer notes: That’s a very nice mediation analysis you have there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.
Mediation analysis has gotten a lot of flak, including classic titles such as “Yes, but what’s the mechanism? (Don’t expect an easy answer)” (Bullock et al., 2010), “What mediation analysis can (not) ...

What are some topics that folks would like to see covered?
With everything happening in the world, I want to put out something positive that folks would find helpful

I was thinking either a video series on using R called "Mr. R-gers" or introducing basic elements to improve mental health. Then donate any revenue to The Trevor Project or something similar
