My fantastic student is working on the gender/age gap in polarization and social media. If you are eligible to vote in the UK or the US, please take her survey:

Please share this with your students as she's interested in polarization among Gen Z.

ALT Noah from Noah's ark says "What the Hell is This?" as he gestures to a hybrid elephant penguin labeled "Modern NHST". He's asking an elephant (labled "Fisherian Hypothesis Testing") and a penguin (labeled "Neyman Pearson Hypothesis Testing") implying that the two animals had sexual relations and produced the hybrid animal.
