This is not surprising given Greg Francis' critique of the article immediately after it was published. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/

Failure to replicate the "brain drain" effect. This is the idea that the mere presence of a smartphone makes people perform worse on tasks requiring concentration. sciencedirect.com/science/arti

Great use of Finnish register by @CarolineUggla at . Testing Bateman’s principles in a context of low marriage rates but prevalent long-term cohabitation. Would be good to use more use of big demographic data in the evo behavioural sciences

Recommendations for studies from @rubenarslan - avoid saliva assays (use serum if you want hormones), get frequent measures, use probability of ovulation (not fixed phase), allow for lagged effects of Oe/P. Big daily diary samples have lots of power.

I'll be in London at Tuesday-Thursday to talk about sex hormones (Wednesday 5:45pm). Tweeps, let me know if you want to meet there or near UCL

More proof politics is personal.

When a Congressperson’s sons (but not daughters) were of an age that they could be drafted, their pro-conscription voting during war drops 7-11%… but it goes back to normal once their kid is too old to be drafted.

I still remember an enlightening discussion with Nick during RepliCATS about demand characteristics. I noticed that I believe in DM even though the mechanism sometimes sounds almost like social priming, which I don't buy. This is worth reading if you have the same confusion!

Demand characteristics are a textbook concern in research w/ humans

Yet, they’re not actually well understood

This would be an amazing job for a methods-y psych person (or a psych-y methods person?). Seems like a great university, in a country that is doing great things in metascience and open science, plus you’d get to be colleagues with @annaveer! twitter.com/annaveer/status/16

There are two kinds of people, those who accept this dichotomy and get in a fight about putting things in buckets and those who will have a good time today.

There are two kinds of problems: strong-link problems and weak-link problems.

Weak-link: quality depends on how good the *worst* things are

Strong-link: quality depends on how good the *best* things are

One of my favorite charts of all time (by @salonium):

“Before 2000 – when pre-registration of studies was not required – most candidate drugs to treat or prevent cardiovascular disease showed large benefits.

But most trials published after 2000 showed no benefit.”

RT @KordingLab
So what went wrong? The authors apparently used the test data to select features. Obvious mistake. A reminder for everyone into ML: never use the test set for *anything* but testing. Only practical way to do so in medicine? Lock away the test set till algorithm is registered.
