I'm writing a book on fraud/bias/error/hype in science. There are ENDLESS things to discuss, but do you have a story that nobody knows yet? Or a tip on a dodgy/overhyped study, from any field? Tweet me, or send to [mytwittername]1@gmail.com! Thanks, pals! http://www.janklowandnesbit.co.uk/stuart-ritchie/hypeology …

So, this study in the BMJ saying that standing desks make you healthier, more engaged, etc. Look at the supplementary tables: they did dozens and dozens of tests, but explicitly write "adjustment for multiple comparisons was not performed"!

I don't think I've ever seen a study that assumes correlation = causation, and totally forgets about genetics, in such a careless way. Really astonishing! https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/oct/10/growing-up-in-a-house-full-of-books-is-major-boost-to-literacy-and-numeracy-study-finds … (paper here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X18300607#fig2 …) via

Looks like a cool dataset, but I've got whiplash from the shifting back-and-forth between correlational and causal language (even just in the Abstract!). It's fully correlational, of course.https://twitter.com/Comadork/status/1049307846574137345 …

If the hoaxers thought in terms of evidence and science, instead of just fetishising the idea of those things, they'd have done this:https://twitter.com/annemscheel/status/1048593483878092800 …

This chap (
@nccomfort) has now written a blog post claiming I called him a "relativist". You've got to laugh, really: you criticise someone for making factual errors (still uncorrected BTW), and they respond by making further false claims!https://twitter.com/StuartJRitchie/status/1044590977950908421 …

The "Sokal Squared" hoax suffers from the exact flaws it claims to expose: political bias and a lack of rigor.https://slate.com/technology/2018/10/grievance-studies-hoax-not-academic-scandal.html …

3 true things: 1)There’s a vast amount of nonsense in gender studies journals, with (AFAIK) no reform movement; 2) There’s a vast amount of nonsense in science journals (though we’re working on fixing that); 3) This hoax was pretty inept & didn’t show anything new or interesting.
