I'd like to think this relatively small investment (relative to their budget) in me had a pretty decent ROI for NIH so far :) [contains quote post or other embedded content]07 Aug 2026 17:30 +0000at://did:plc:pp5fxfqc6noxbnh3cjd24ify/app.bsky.feed.post/3msj3huu3uk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/jonasdora.bsky.social/post/3mrdhhqmwrc25🤯🤯🤯 [contains quote post or other embedded content]23 Jul 2026 18:23 +0000at://did:plc:pp5fxfqc6noxbnh3cjd24ify/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrdhhqmwrc25https://bsky.app/profile/jonasdora.bsky.social/post/3mptelzozfc2hIt's insane to me how many papers I review in which a slope is plotted with no SE or CI around it. Uncertainty quantification is what statistics is all about!04 Jul 2026 15:24 +0000at://did:plc:pp5fxfqc6noxbnh3cjd24ify/app.bsky.feed.post/3mptelzozfc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/jonasdora.bsky.social/post/3moaq5hipjs2dI'm really excited to share a new preprint! Lab studies have consistently shown that stress and negative emotions make people drink alcohol, but studies of daily life (EMA) keep failing to find it. What does that mean for the shared theoretical prediction both designs test? https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/pgd43_v114 Jun 2026 12:05 +0000at://did:plc:pp5fxfqc6noxbnh3cjd24ify/app.bsky.feed.post/3moaq5hipjs2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/jonasdora.bsky.social/post/3moaq5hipjs2dI'm really excited to share a new preprint!
