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 (https://twitter.com/deborahapthorp/status/1092599860212068352), "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 (https://psyteachr.github.io)
Danielle Navarro (https://djnavarro.net), and her R text book (https://learningstatisticswithr.com) that you should read
Lisa's "faux" package (https://github.com/debruine/faux) for data simulation
Sometimes you can't share data, simulations are a good way around this problem
"synthpop" is the name of the package (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/synthpop/vignettes/synthpop.pdf) 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...)

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 (https://twitter.com/dsquintana/status/1070392412445401088), typos and all
Using a Slack group for help

Lisa's Registered Report project (https://osf.io/f7v3n/) on face rating
The challenges associated with collaborating with 100+ labs
Authorship order
Author contributions: CRediT taxonomy (http://dev.biologists.org/content/author-contributions)
The DARPA-funding project (https://www.wired.com/story/darpa-wants-to-solve-sciences-replication-crisis-with-robots/) on using AI to determine reproducibility
Interacting Minds workshop (http://interactingminds.au.dk/events/single-events/artikel/2-day-workshop-open-science-and-reproducibility/) 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 (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/2515245918770963) on equivalence testing, which includes two former guests, Daniel Lakens (https://everythinghertz.com/guests/daniel-lakens), Anne Scheel (https://everythinghertz.com/guests/anne-scheel), and friend of the show Peder Isager.
