Podcast: Everything Hertz
Episode: 78: Large-scale collaborative science (with Lisa DeBruine)
Episode pub date: 2019-02-17

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, “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
• Danielle Navarro, and her R text book that you should read
• Lisa’s “faux” package for data simulation
• Sometimes you can’t share data, simulations are a good way around this problem
• “synthpop” is the name of the package 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…)
• Lisa’s OSF page
• 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, typos and all
• Using a Slack group for help
• The psychological science accelerator
• Chris Chartier (Psych Science Accelerator Director) on Twitter
• A few of the other (hundreds) of folks involved with the Psych Science Accelerator Director: @PsySciAcc: @CRChartier @Ben_C_J @JkayFlake @hmoshontz
• Lisa’s Registered Report project on face rating
• The challenges associated with collaborating with 100+ labs
• Authorship order
• Author contributions: CRediT taxonomy
• The DARPA-funding project on using AI to determine reproducibility
• Interacting Minds workshop 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 on equivalence testing, which includes two former guests, Daniel Lakens, Anne Scheel, and friend of the show Peder Isager.
• Here’s the latest episode from Psych Soc O’Clock
