I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

As many in my professional network may already know, I’m departing Friday Institute for Educational Innovation after fourteen fulfilling and productive years to lead the new Office of Research and Promising Practices at the NC Department of Public Instruction.

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

11/11 The recent changes at NIH and other funding agencies will cripple the system of scientific knowledge production that made saving lives like mine possible.

Scientists: Call your congressional aides. But also remind your organization leaders that not speaking up is not going to spare them.

Dear US academics & scientists, 🧵/4
Now is not the time to harass program officers & staff about your grant. Now is the time to support NSF/NIH employees. Please send a short, kind, supportive note to each person you know at NIH & NSF who have served you in the past. They are under massive stress

If you're an NSF PI like me, you might be wondering: Will my grant be suspended or terminated next week?

A few key things to know: First off, remember that NSF is **congressionally mandated** to evaluate broader impacts. And laws like CHIPS and Science supersede EOs.

But also... 🧵 thread
Found this gem in an arcane NSF doc...key to know:

The Constitution and law SUPERSEDES exec orders!

"In the event of a conflict between policies issued at a lower tier versus policies issued at a higher tier, the higher tier policy will take precedence"
