Phils win, Kerk and Casty are the heroes, Reds win, AND Mets lose (on a double play, no less!). What a day.

Some of my dissertation work is finally out in JEP: General! Thanks to all who helped make it possible...including Peloton instructors Jess Sims and Leanne Hainsby 🙃

@johnstolnis.bsky.social @lizroscher.bsky.social @justinklugh.bsky.social It may be a glitch in my Podcasts app, but the episode you posted last night is the same as the previous one (it’s not about the 🔥🔥🔥 Duran acquisition). Just wanted to be sure you were aware in case it’s not just my app!

GREAT news, @megrowler.fangraphs.com and @benlindbergh.bsky.social They have the Phanatic mic’d up on the field instead of a player. Best case scenario 🎉

I’m really grateful to AnnMarie Anderson for adapting it, Rebecca Mills for illustrating, Tom Russell for shepherding, and Rose Eveleth for reading the audiobook.

(And it’s dedicated to Typo.)

I thought the entire world, but especially @megrowler.fangraphs.com and @benlindbergh.bsky.social, would appreciate this incredible gift: @juliafstrand.bsky.social cross-stitched this gem for me, knowing that it brings me immense joy and delight every time I think about it 😍

Times I’ve been asked if I’m a Target employee in…

Minneapolis: ~4/year
Philly: ~0/year

Thinking this is a nice example for teaching Poisson regression (conceptually). Count depends on city and whether I’m wearing Phillies gear (though let’s be honest, I’m often wearing Phillies gear)

Another new preprint with @juliafstrand.bsky.social and co-authors!

New preprint! This is kind of a long one because it's my dissertation work 😊 In this series of six experiments, I develop and validate a novel dual-task paradigm designed to measure the costs associated with processing audiovisual speech in-lab or online.

After this, I promise to keep this account mostly (mostly) for science. But the Phillies are going to the playoffs, so it seems appropriate for my first post on this site to be: Go Phils
