“Tough math teachers get lower ratings from students, because students like them less. However, students get better grades with the tough teachers than with laxer teachers. Reason #167 why student evaluations of teaching aren’t particularly useful.” stevestewartwilliams.com/p/i…

Time to stop classifying exercises as "functional" or "non-functional"; functional transfer exists on a continuum and is dependent on individual goals and abilities. Our international consensus paper on the topic is now pre-printed sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

Prof. Michael Joyner was suspended without pay from the Mayo Clinic for his commentary on COVID-19 and trans issues. He later sued for contractual and academic freedom violations. A judge ruled that his case can proceed on 4/5 claims. The claim he lost? A finding that Mayo's academic freedom promises are window-dressing and mean nothing. Really an own goal for Mayo.

Seventh and eighth graders in Malvern, Pennsylvania, impersonating their teachers posted disparaging, lewd, racist and homophobic videos on TikTok. The incident is the first known mass attack of its kind by middle schoolers on their teachers in the U.S. nyti.ms/3RZ0rLX

Europeans' out of offices are like "I will not be working until 18 September. All emails will be automatically deleted." Americans: "I am in the hospital. Email responses may be delayed by up to 30 mins. Sorry for the inconvenience! If urgent, please reach me in the ER at..."

Exercise science has lost the communication and marketing battle. We have to do better than this. We should be better than this.

During my PhD defence, I was asked about my use of causal language for observational data. I had thoughts. Those thoughts are now better articulated (w/ guidance from an awesome peer reviewer) and ACCEPTED at Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology. Preprint 🔗 below

If we trust the below findings that the reliability of the emotional dot probe (EDP) task cannot be distinguished from *0*, the implications are serious. For example: how on Earth did so many researchers find statistical relationships between the EDP & other variables?

An important #FathersDay message from me…WEAR A HELMET ! This week I had a bad accident while riding my bike in CT. I'm doing ok and I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at @LMHospital who looked after me but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life. Be Safe

The shameful tradition in @JAMA_current continues. Without even pretending to perform a serious systematic review of the evidence, #exercise for the treatment of adult #depression is only mentioned casually, supported by scant evidence, alongside treatments that, in the minds of most physicians, probably evoke placebo or voodoo. How much longer? Does this reflect innocuous ignorance of the evidence or something else? doi.org/10.1001/jama.2024.57…
