Better data viz - for free, in few clicks.
Below, all N = 111, M = 0.04, SD = 0.27.
One-sided t-tests vs. 0 yield: t(110) = 1.67, p = .049.
Use raincloud plots. Or risk wrong conclusions!

Strikes are beginning, because the cuts are dire. This story has many twists and turns, but in short, Dutch universities are proposing to sacrifice certain programs like our Psychology BSc in English to hope to appease the nationalist government. This isn't done yet.

The stories behind out research are mostly hidden, since they are typically not part of the papers we write.
Could we include these creative background stories in a section of the research paper format, maybe just as online supplements?
