I had lots of attendees yesterday come thank me for providing a QR code with the recording and say they'd never seen it done before (hence sharing the tip here).

It lets them know they can return to it later in their own time to clarify points they may not have fully followed in the live delivery. Particularly useful if, like I was yesterday, you're covering a complex topic with limited time...

When you prepare a talk for a conference you probably run through it at least once to practice the timing and delivery. Well, why not hit record and upload that version somewhere then share it with the audience at the start of your presentation...

1. Ran Tian: Statistical Practice in Sport and Exercise Science: A Meta-Research Study.
We studied 146 studies. Most used multilevel models or t-tests/correlations/ANOVA. In 27% the wrong methods were used (statistical test did not match data structure). Collaborate with a statistician!
#AIMOS2025

Sport and exercise scientists have become enamoured with estimation but in practice use it as licence to just interpret the point estimate and its sign by and large 🫠

I did not include the meme, but did a quick recording of my talk for Friday to check timings... here it is if anyone wants to hear me talk very fast about intervention effect heterogeneity (or lack thereof) in resistance training.

May or may not crack out this meme

Or if you leave academia but still are doing science

One minute shuffle has me bopping to Soda Pop and the Saja Boys, the next I find myself in tears listening to Pres du Lui by Lorien Testard because of the emotion it evokes.

Ah... I wasn't joking 😅 I don't mind it tbh. Sure it's low hanging fruit and as you say pretty trite. But meh, sometimes I enojy some junk food. I've got very eclectic and broad tastes and can usually appreciate most things in some way.

Also, realising that for the first time in years I've great work-life balance. I still want to provide some degree of volunary service to the community at large, but am limiting that to reviewing the occasional preprint (particularly for ECRs), and maybe peer reviewing for not for profit journals.
