Of course Nols throws four shutout innings in 55 pitches for Not The Phils. Should have expected as much from him in an even year

A little reinforcement goes a long way!
Opera, espresso, fancy jacket, little kisses - Team Italy is winning because they've embraced a philosophy of nice treats.
Very impressed with those WBC fans for not interfering with Vinnie’s home run!
(I couldn’t find this person on Bluesky, so a screenshot is the best I could do for credit!)
@megrowler.fangraphs.com I came across this gem of a post and couldn’t help but think of you 🥛
Phils win, Kerk and Casty are the heroes, Reds win, AND Mets lose (on a double play, no less!). What a day.
So glad you’re finding it helpful!! Stick with it 🎉💪

Some of my dissertation work is finally out in JEP: General! Thanks to all who helped make it possible...including Peloton instructors Jess Sims and Leanne Hainsby 🙃

@johnstolnis.bsky.social @lizroscher.bsky.social @justinklugh.bsky.social It may be a glitch in my Podcasts app, but the episode you posted last night is the same as the previous one (it’s not about the 🔥🔥🔥 Duran acquisition). Just wanted to be sure you were aware in case it’s not just my app!
GREAT news, @megrowler.fangraphs.com and @benlindbergh.bsky.social They have the Phanatic mic’d up on the field instead of a player. Best case scenario 🎉
Balloon wall art inspired by the ggplot2 hex sticker. The display features a hexagonal frame made of black balloons, filled with white balloons inside and surrounded by a background of light and dark blue balloons. A line graph with black balloon segments and round coloured nodes runs across the centre, and the word “ggplot2” is spelled out in black balloon letters below the chart.
Happy 18th birthday ggplot2! #rstats
AN IMMENSE WORLD: YOUNG READERS EDITION is out today! 🥳
I’m really grateful to AnnMarie Anderson for adapting it, Rebecca Mills for illustrating, Tom Russell for shepherding, and Rose Eveleth for reading the audiobook.
(And it’s dedicated to Typo.)

I’ll be here all week
I thought the entire world, but especially @megrowler.fangraphs.com and @benlindbergh.bsky.social, would appreciate this incredible gift: @juliafstrand.bsky.social cross-stitched this gem for me, knowing that it brings me immense joy and delight every time I think about it 😍
(Yeah yeah it’s zero-inflated and the variance isn’t equal to the mean but shhhhhh conceptually)
Times I’ve been asked if I’m a Target employee in…
Minneapolis: ~4/year
Philly: ~0/year
Thinking this is a nice example for teaching Poisson regression (conceptually). Count depends on city and whether I’m wearing Phillies gear (though let’s be honest, I’m often wearing Phillies gear)

Together, this series of experiments provides evidence that although subsequent noise may impair recall of previously-heard information, the effect of effortful listening on recall is transient and does not appear to influence retention of information presented minutes earlier.
This reanalysis revealed that the effects of noisy speech on previously-presented information were extremely short-lived, which explains why the effect would emerge for digit lists but not longer passages.
To help clarify the mechanisms through which noise might affect recall and how differences in the timescales of lists versus passages might influence these processes, we performed a reanalysis of our previous replication data (Guang et al., 2021).
In three experiments including a total of 450 participants, we found that noise in the second half of the passages did not impair retention of information in the first half, and in some cases even improved retention.
Here, we report three attempts to replicate an additional experiment in that classic paper that extended the finding from lists of digits to five-minute passages.
Our research group previously published a successful replication of Rabbitt’s seminal finding, which used lists of digits as the target stimuli (Guang et al., 2021).
This paradigm elegantly disentangled the effects of noise on speech identification from those on encoding: Because the changes in noise happened after the to-be-remembered items, differences in recall reflect the consequences of effortful listening rather than poor speech intelligibility.
In the first study of the relationship between effortful listening and recall, Rabbitt (1968) showed that memory for speech is poorer when it is followed by noise-masked speech than by unmasked speech.
Another new preprint with @juliafstrand.bsky.social and co-authors!

I hope that in doing this measurement work and making everything publicly available, other researchers can use this paradigm to address other theoretical questions beyond the specific issues I focused on, and without being limited by the necessity to conduct research in person. Yay measurement!
The theoretical stuff is interesting, but I think more importantly, this study includes important psychometric experiments that 1) establish positive and negative control, 2) assess convergent validity and sensitivity relative to a commonly-used task, and 3) generate performance curves.
