Platforms are rushing to remove images of people holding up the empty pages after protesters made them a symbol to express their frustration at China’s zero-Covid policies.

I’m going to make a thread of our #PsyTeachR resources. We’re a group of psychologists at #UniversityOfGlasgow who are passionate about teaching #OpenScience. We love #rstats, but the R actually stands for #reproducibility. We’ve made a series of textbooks for undergrad and postgrad methods, plus some other resources. All our materials are CC-BY-SA, so you freely use and adapt them.
