Been working on this manuscript today. Looking forward to sharing soon! https://heathershaw.quarto.pub/blog/posts/DigiBiometrics/
I wrote this a few months ago for the print edition, but here’s the online version of my Science Focus article about the problems with a relentless focus on correlation when trying to figure out if social media is tanking our mental health: https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/social-media-children/
Going to conferences has made me reflect on “what is my topic, what am I currently doing, what is my identity as a researcher?” All are useful for updating bios, and directing focus (which for myself is blending psychology with behavioural analytics) https://heathershaw.quarto.pub/blog/about.html

@lakens thank you for sharing your book! My students were just asking about sample size justification and I can see you’ve written a whole chapter on this. Thanks for creating this resource.
