My favorite fact from chapter 9 of my textbook is the notion of a smallest effect size of interest, and the importance of specifying one to make hypotheses falsifiable. https://lakens.github.io/statistical_inferences/equivalencetest.html#sesoi
I am pretty sure that when I die I'll see educating quite some people about equivalence testing and the idea of a SESOI as one of my bigger contributions to science. And there is a lot of work ahead in thinking of how to determine a SESOI in different fields.
An interesting piece about interdisciplinary research. I agree with most of it. Sometimes breakthrough research requires interdisciplinary efforts but that needs to rely on strong disciplinary science. But the most interesting note is about discipline change. They evolve both by splitting and merging. I have been a long-term promoter of sociology as a single field. But I am no longer sure if that is true. Maybe we have become too versatile to be a single field of research https://theconversation.com/why-the-interdisciplinary-push-in-universities-is-actually-a-dangerous-antidisciplinary-trend-175511
Being a very involved grandparent promotes the well-being among grandfathers but not among grandmothers where daily caretaking of grandchildren leads to a reduction in wellbeing. This is an interesting finding from a new study by Leimer & van Ewikj utilising data from SHARE.
The study finds that grandchildren overall contributes to a slightly lower quality of life contradictory to the idea that grandparenthood is joyous and a positive life event - the authors interpret this a evidence of role strain. @sociology #medicalsociology @publichealth https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0277953622006980?
What a great paper by Sophie Waldron and @ChrisAllen. "‘Exploratory’ should not be seen as a negative label, and the label of ‘pre-registration’ does not necessarily mean elimination of flexibility." Not all preregistrations are equal - and this figure is a great illustration of how they differ. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-022-01418-x
