Everything Hertz 78: Large-scale collaborative science (with Lisa DeBruine)
58:38
In this episde, we chat with Lisa DeBruine (University of Glasgow) about her experience with large-scale collaborative science and how her psychology department made the switch from SPSS to R.
Discussion points and links galore:
- Deborah Apthorp's tweet on having to teach SPSS, "because that's what students know"
- People who are involved with teaching R for psychology at the University of Glasgow: @Eavanmac @dalejbarr @McAleerP @clelandwoods @PatersonHelena @emilynordmann
- Why the #psyTeachR started teaching R for reproducible science
- Data wrangling vs. statistical analysis
- The psyTeachR website
- Danielle Navarro, and her R text book that you should read
- Lisa's "faux" package for data simulation
- Sometimes you can't share data, simulations are a good way around this problem
- "synthpop" is the name of the package that Dan mentioned that can simulate census data
- Power analysis can be hard once you go beyond the more conventional statistical tests (e.g., t-tests, ANOVAs etc...)
- Lisa's OSF page
- Dirty code is always better than no code (but the cleaner the better)
- Live coding is terrifying but a useful teaching tool. Here's Dan live coding how to build a website in R, typos and all
- Using a Slack group for help
- The psychological science accelerator
- Chris Chartier (Psych Science Accelerator Director) on Twitter
- A few of the other (hundreds) of folks involved with the Psych Science Accelerator Director: @PsySciAcc: @CRChartier @Ben_C_J @JkayFlake @hmoshontz
- Lisa's Registered Report project on face rating
- The challenges associated with collaborating with 100+ labs
- Authorship order
- Author contributions: CRediT taxonomy
- The DARPA-funding project on using AI to determine reproducibility
- Interacting Minds workshop in Denmark in March on open science and reproducibility
- Lisa shares what Glasgow is like
- Lisa has changed her mind about the importance of research metrics (h-index, impact factors etc...)
- Lisa thinks you should read this paper on equivalence testing, which includes two former guests, Daniel Lakens, Anne Scheel, and friend of the show Peder Isager.
