Even discounting bad faith and charlatans, in the biological sciences (which I am familiar with) and probably other research, we get results... but even with meticulous lab books, it's hard to reproduce the exact same experiment and replicate the exact same results. Because we really don't know all the variables

When designing a scientific experiment, a key factor is the sample size to be used for the results of the experiment to be meaningful.

How many cells do I need to measure? How many people do I interview? How many patients do I try my new drug on?

This is of great importance especially for quantitative studies, where we use statistics to determine whether a treatment or condition has an effect. Indeed, when we test a drug on a (small) number of patients, we do so in the hope our results can generalise to any patient because it would be impossible to test it on everyone.

The solution is to perform a "power analysis", a calculation that tells us whether given our experimental design, the statistical test we are using is able to see an effect of a certain magnitude, if that effect is really there. In other words, this is something that tells us whether the experiment we're planning to do could give us meaningful results.

But, as I said, in order to do a power analysis we need to decide what size of effect we would like to see. So... do scientists actually do that?

We explored this question in the context of the chronic variable stress literature.

We found that only a few studies give a clear justification for the sample size used, and in those that do, only a very small fraction used a biologically meaningful effect size as part of the sample size calculation. We discuss challenges around identifying a biologically meaningful effect size and ways to overcome them.

Fascinating. I had never even heard of this (but maybe I was lucky to be a little younger)]

"Unchecked #AI agency poses significant #risks to public #safety and #security ,ranging from misuse by malicious actors to a potentially irreversible loss of #human control. [...] Indeed, various #scenarios and #experiments have demonstrated the possibility of AI agents engaging in #deception or pursuing goals that were not specified by human operators and that conflict with human interests, such as self-preservation."

Wow. Wow. Wow. Thank you @grimalkina, Lizzie, Liz, and Jennifer. More Leaders need to listen in to this fantastic panel discussion about the value of developer experience. #platform #productivity #experiments #metrics #roi

This is my attempt at untangling the maddening confusion between overflow-wrap and word-break.

Though familiar features of our skies, #clouds are surprisingly elusive. Last night, in a highly anticipated public lecture at Feldstraßenbunker in #Hamburg, our director Bjorn Stevens set out to explore and address some of the fundamental questions driving scientific research on clouds. A particular highlight of the talk was a series of engaging #experiments that demonstrated the physical processes behind cloud formation. Someone may have gotten wet! #MPIM50 #SciComm #Wisskomm #UHH

Still, the results provide important pieces of evidence for #fundraising, especially since all #experiments and #hypotheses were #preregistered and all #data and #materials are publicly available. Thanks @giladfeldman for initiating the line of replications that helps us build a firm foundation for effective interventions that promote generosity!
