    Working on signage for an exhibition of 's illustrations for my new book, and every time I look at them I'm reminded just how wonderful they are! Impossible to pick a favourite, of course, so this is just an example.

    Also, if I edit it all back in the proofing system, but don't mention having done so, is that being passive aggressive? Passive-voice aggressive? Active-voice aggressive? (Whichever it is, I'm being it)

    OK, unnamed journal, I bet you can't coherently explain why you copyedited our Abstract into passive voice, but left our Graphical Abstract and Methods in the active?

    This is fascinating: on unintended consequences of careful thinking about p-values, in the US court system.

    great thread. we don't often get to peek into stories behind the data, especially data that actually wasn't. I'll be sharing this with my students!

    (I made some very similar points in my recent rant about "data are" scolds: )

    Do you have trouble remembering what "fulsome" means? That's probably because scolds have misled you about what "fulsome" means. This is an excellent lesson in how language works: from

    It's a high-school-coming-of-age book. Protagonist is an introvert, a science nerd, and belongs to none of the groups his classmates find identities with. (A little on the nose, I admit). There's a girl, and an awkward story, but as LeGuin always does, it's infused with truth.

    OK, took a quick break from the 1,000 page opus to revisit a favourite. It was bound to come up some time in - the most obscure of Ursula LeGuin's novels, "Very Far Away From Anywhere Else" ()

    This is excellent. Trust your collaborators? Yes, despite all the news, trust your collaborators. There's no other way. via

    Can confirm! Our colleagues in the arts and humanities know a bunch about this, but as a scientist, I was... naive.

    I think telling a story with your data is important because that is what makes people enjoy and want to read your articles. Telling a story does not mean making stuff up. It does not mean 'flowery language' it just means make it interesting. Imo it's common courtesy.

    Am I the only one who's irked by academic writing advice of "telling a story with your data".

Writing fan fiction about our data is what got us into the reproducibility crisis in the first place. I'd rather have a less compelling narrative than a flowery account of half-truths.

    Our job as reviews is not to tell our colleagues to write the paper we would have written. It is to help them write the best version of the paper they chose to write.

    It's kind of funny watching old blog posts get rediscovered by people, often for no discernible reason. When I wrote this one I thought I'd written my dullest post ever, but here it goes getting noticed again. Pedantry for the win?

    Academics are often forced to move around early in their careers. So why would you choose to do it if you didn't have to? Here's my story...
