📣 New paper!
We investigated the use of stacked proportional bar graphs (aka "Grotta bars") in observational neurology research & made infographics 🎨📊 to guide proper use & interpretation of these figures.

I *love* teaching collider bias with dice. And seeing the shocked (and angry) faces when the (seemingly) paradoxical results are revealed 😂

No one teaches collider bias like @pwgtennant.bsky.social in the #CausalIntroCourse.
Lighthearted dice rolling 🎲 before the big reveal. Puzzled looks. Then 🤯 shock, as the implications for their research fields sank in. You could hear a pin drop during the compelling lecture that followed! 👏🏻

We’re encouraging meaningful commentary with $1,000 rewards for selected PubPeer comments. bsky.app/profile/pubp...
Now imagine if @hhmi.bsky.social , NIH, NSF, etc also awarded outstanding public reviews.
These could boost careers and CVs while building a vital layer of scientific evaluation.

And now for the announcement:
While many of our plans for the award funds will take time to implement, one can start immediately.
To thank our users and encourage scientific debate, we’re introducing $1,000 rewards for selected PubPeer comments!
Yes students and postdocs you read that right: $1000
