Personality psych & causal inference @UniLeipzig. I like all things science, beer, & puns. Even better when combined! Part of http://the100.ci, http://openscience-leipzig.org
- So I just received these *excellent* socks from @annemscheel.bsky.social — what’s the best occasion to wear them for the first time?
- Excellent video on whether retinol is a scam — there are only few low quality RCTs, why would one still believe in it? — and it’s so good, talking about various incentives and the role of mechanistic knowledge. I’ll have to think about how to fit this into teaching!> m.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Z5...
- Just had a manuscript accepted as is. There are some exculpatory circumstances (such as it being a short commentary), but still...feels good.
- Stanford marshmallow experiment, more like Stanford marshmallow longitudinal observational study with a somewhat unclear estimand.
- Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>
- Does anybody have a good visualization to explain how interactions can be confounded, and why interactions require interaction controls? @urisohn.bsky.social maybe? (Asking because I have an idea, but want to check out what exists already before investing the effort)
- Just finished listening to Barry Lam’s “Fewer Rules, Better People” which makes an argument in favor of discretion across domains (policing, law, sports, rules for children). This had some excellent observations, such as the laws of bureaudynamics.>
