    My favorite app about/for meditation, mindfulness, etc. I particularly love the lessons and conversations. [You have been invited to experience the Waking Up app for free. The app is unlocked for one month. Enjoy.]

    We need more ignorance, or at least awareness of it.

    No, I don’t think that this study offers good evidence that installing air filters in classrooms has surprisingly large educational benefits.

    A year-close thought on "confidence," "significance" etc., paraphrasing Korzybski, Science and Sanity (1958): "We do not realize the tremendous power the structure of habitual language has and impresses upon us unconsciously, automatically projected upon the world around us."

    This might be my favorite sentence, talking about the open access publishing model: "This would effectively nationalize the valuable American intellectual property that we produce and force us to give it away to the rest of the world for free."

    Defining replication. Time to revisit a fundamental statistical concept relative to how the word is often used today.

    Attempts at providing helpful explanations of statistics must avoid instilling misleading or harmful notions: ‘Statistical significance just tells us whether or not something definitely does or definitely doesn’t cause cancer’

    "It can be hard for people to shake off this habit. But, remember: type 1 and type 2 errors are theoretical constructs based on false models. Keep your eye on the ball and remember your larger goals. When it comes to statistical methods,the house is stronger than the foundations"

    Thou shalt not send out questionnaires without piloting them first, nor without a precise plan for how you will analyze the data, with a clear understanding of how these analyses will support your objectives. You are just wasting people's time otherwise.
