Tell me about a course you took and loved that was NOT part of your academic major. For me, I loved my history course on Europe Between the World Wars. It was a side of history I had never learned before. I also took a ceramics class that was fun even though I wasn't good at it. #AcademicSky #EduSky

I was very lucky to receive a high-quality liberal arts education. It not only gave me a broad multi-disciplinary base of knowledge but it also inspired me to want to learn more about biology, psychology, history, political science, art, philosophy, and many other disciplines. #EduSky #AcademicSky

When I say #EducationForAll I mean it. I'm so happy this year to be leading a faculty learning community exploring ways to support neurodivergent students in the classroom. Remove those barriers! #EduSky #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #CogSci

The thing I love about being a faculty member is that I can continue to learn, even 17 years after my last degree. Having just tackled R, I'm next setting my sights on Unity game design #EduSky #AcademicSky

Now that it is October, my posts will focus on #EducationForAll . I believe that every person has a right to get the best quality education and I will fight to remove barriers that prevent that #EduSky #AcademicSky

What are your technology solutions for online data collection? I'm always looking for new ways to collect data from hard-to-reach samples but have no research funding. I've used PsychoPy with Pavlovia.org and jsPsych with Cognition.run but I'm looking for other options #AcademicSky #CogSci

Something I've recently learned: sometimes, it's better to just re-write the code from scratch than fight to fix code that's not working. I find that I come up with more elegant solutions that way and the code is much improved #AcademicSky #CogSci

What are your big professional goals for this semester? I hope to get acquainted with my new Tobii eye-tracker (although honestly, some days it's hard to just keep my head above water) #AcademicSky #EduSky #CogSci #PsychSciSky

Did you accomplish any professional goals over the summer? I spent most of the summer learning R and practicing with data I've been collecting from several projects over the past couple of years #AcademicSky #EduSky #CogSci #PsychSciSky

The clock in my classroom does not work. I never realized before now how often I use the clock to pace myself while teaching! Is that true for you as well? #EduSky #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky

I took a much longer hiatus from this platform than I planned. One of these years, I'll learn to take a proper summer break from work. Now that we're in September, let's talk about tech troubles. #EduSky #AcademicSky 1/4

Now that it is May, we're going to focus on #MayResearchPractice, where I will share my experience on how research is actually done in practice. For this first post, I want to walk you through a day in the life of an undergraduate professor. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky 1/6

To close #AprSciLiteracy, let's examine internal and external validity. You've heard of "correlation does not indicate causation", right? Sadly, social media and the news often imply causation when the method doesn't permit it. 1/5 #PsychSciSky

If we can't rely on p values, what can we rely on? Effect sizes! Every statistical test has measures of effect sizes to consider, and many journals now require authors to include effect sizes for their statistical tests. 1/2 #AprSciLiteracy #PsychSciSky

Continuing our discussion of p values in #AprSciLiteracy we need to talk about the unethical practices of p-hacking and HARKing. These practices exploit the scientific process to increase publications, funding, or even fame. 1/5 #PsychSciSky

Next up in #AprSciLiteracy, let's talk about p values. You may have seen the meme of James Van Der Beek crying with p>.05, or the meme with PSY with p<.05. What is so magical about .05? Convention mostly. 1/5 #PsychSciSky

An important component of #AprSciLiteracy is distinguishing between media portrayals of scientists and how modern scientists actually spend their time. Scientists don't sit in a chair for hours just thinking anymore. 1/5 #PsychSciSky
