I've had one direct interaction with him... I emailed him at the beginning of my PhD about how I struggled to distinguish the different lines plotted by the effects package; he immediately added a colorblind option to the package. RIP.

Canonical examples of this in medical science are
* a single dose-finding study is usually used to determine optimal patient dosing
* Sometimes a single RCT serves as evidence for treatment efficacy in policymaking
* N<30 studies are sometimes used as authoritative sources in medical reviews

The impact of single studies on medical policy has always baffled me about medical science. Perhaps I have been trained to be more skeptical due to all the scandals we have recently had in psychology, but I never trust a single study's findings; only after it has been replicated is it worth applying

My condolences :(

I have repeatedly encountered this false causality assumption from correlational findings with American psych researchers at conferences, some also in the context of research into cannabis use. This is supposed to be among the first things you learn in uni but they just throw it out the window.

That senior phd student should be named and shamed, no way this can be allowed to pass unchallenged.

sound ridiculous? shit like this is the reality for most people falling outside a hegemonic identity category

For Viagra we can imitate transgender "care" as it's done in many countries
1) 10+ mandatory counselling sessions
2) Mandatory trial period in which the patient must try to function with the ED
3) Waitlists a decade long because only 1 or 2 clinics do the above
4) and then you miiight get the pill

Not completely implausible, epigenetics is acknowledged to be a thing now. In fact, Darwin's finches have been shown to do their rapid evolution thru epigenetic de/activation of genes rather than thru slow natural selection of gene mutations.

In one of my recent papers I went a little overboard in the opposite direction. There are 4 or 5 paragraphs of future directions in there. It's nicer than delivering that useless oneliner but the paper also became wayyy too long.

What the fuck

We've known for 3 decades now that the premotor cortex also sends axons down the corticospinal tract, and I don't see that represented here.

I look up data quite often, one time I even did additional analyses on the data of a study because I was curious about an effect that the authors did not look into but which you could see in the graphs.
