It's time to remove laptops from classrooms.
24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images.
The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

Los que me seguís sabéis que los recientes estudios paleogenéticos realizados por varias universidades a los restos de Cristóbal Colón y de su hijo Hernando han confirmado la teoría que llevo defendiendo desde hace bastantes años de que Cristóbal Colón era español y originario de Valencia o de alguna localidad ribereña del río Júcar.
Lo que no se si sabréis es que el mismo método de individualización genética que ha descubierto en el conquistador su haplotipo valenciano es el mismo que ha servido para determinar que América fue descubierta, no por Colón ni por los Vikingos, sino por los habitantes de Siberia hace la friolera -nunca mejor dicho- de 35.000 años. Los siberianos y los habitantes de Alaska comparten haplotipos genéticos gracias a que aquellos cruzaran el Estrecho de Bering y ocuparan la parte nororiental de América.
Por cierto, el estrecho de Bering lleva el nombre del explorador danés, Vitus Bering, que lo cruzó en 1728, pero el verdadero descubridor fue, en 1588, un español almeriense, Lorenzo Ferrer Maldonado, hijo de genovés y de valenciana, probablemente como Cristóbal Colón.
Los resultados han sido publicados ya en la más afamada revista científica mundial, Nature.

We think that all memory is stored in the brain. But our study published today in @NatureComms shows that all cells—even kidney cells—can count, detect patterns, store memories, and do so similarly to brain cells. My first (co)corresponding author paper!🧵nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

New survey: Over half of researchers in Denmark and an international sample from Britain, America, Croatia, and Austria anonymously admitted that they:
- Cite papers they don't read
- Cite irrelevant papers
- Don't put in effort in peer review
- Misreport nonsignificant findings

The best place to relax is near water.
After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass.
Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.

Work with my Stanford colleagues Aaron Chuey & Ellen Markman is now public! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…
We found that epistemic language in headlines ("Scientists *believe* co2 emissions hit record in 2021") influences whether people view claims as objective facts or mere opinions.

My textbook with Kosuke Imai (@Harvard) is finally out!
Assuming no prior knowledge of statistics or coding and only minimal knowledge of math, DSS teaches the fundamentals of survey research, predictive models, and causal inference + how to analyze real-world data with R.

Paper shows pronounced peak near threshold for statistical significance, for sociology mixed models that omit random slope. Suggestive of p-hacking by dropping random slope in order to “achieve significance”
Misspecifying random eff may be an under-recognized route to p-hacking
