Ever year when I introduce NHST and the importance of effect sizes, I get students to respond what success rate would convince them that someone could see the future. Weirdly, most of the time, the answer isn't 53%...

Workshop done and dusted before the welcome event! All the attendees got their books up and running with minimal R Studio and GitHub shenanigans.
All materials here with a walkthrough video for the book output: bartlettje.github.io/disseminatio...

One of the best bits of advice I ever received was keeping a log of things you do over the year. It's invaluable for promotion applications and performance reviews as you will 100% forget cool stuff you did. At Glasgow, we have four criteria, so I log things down to make it easier later:

Really nice design and analysis on this paper by Bitzan et al. Great example of rigorous scholarship work but I find the comparison absolutely baffling. Particularly in a psychology department, I don't know why software *or* hand calculations would be the choice.

I had an absolute blast on the organising committee of @ukcots.bsky.social 2025. It was lovely working with everyone and seeing it come together to welcome people to Glasgow. The highlight was a drinks reception in the city chambers hosted by representatives of the Lord Provost!

For anyone who knows R/RStudio and wants to learn how to use a Chi-Square, one of my students is running a project on how students learn new data skills.
You can take part online (uofg.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...) or if you're at the University of Glasgow, you can do it in person.

Great productive initiative where we had an ECR writing day within the psychology school! Combined with a break in the middle to identify our strengths and weaknesses to identify collaboration opportunities.

As we start the small Bayes segment of my (small) stats course, this is exactly the motivation behind it. MSc students (who responded) never had a course on it before, but they see it in research. So, how are they expected to appraise the process/results?

There's a bunch of interesting points in here but they also don't pick up on additional issues in the output. If you have super common misconceptions all over the internet, they're going to make their way into LLMs:

Students are the absolute best. A bunch of our online MSc conversion students across the world bought each other rubber ducks to help with coding ❤️

On my way to Edinburgh where I'm doing a very short talk on teaching programming/reproducible research practices rapidly. We hear in psychology that students can't learn to programme or there's no time. I argue psychology students absolutely can providing the might support and content is available.

We are interested in current students or graduates from a BPS-accredited psychology degree. This could be after two years as an undergraduate or one semester as an MSc conversion student. Essentially, just before students are entering their dissertation.

Finally watched an NHL game live and it was an incredible experience. I’ll never complain about UK arena prices again though with $20 beers 😅

Sad to only be transferring in Iceland as it’s one of my favourite countries 🇮🇸 At least we get a couple of hours in the airport before leaving for New York.

I had lots of fun yesterday speaking at an employability event for my previous universities. I tried to give a no-nonsense overview of what I love about the job while also being honest about Higher Education.
