78: Large-scale collaborative science (with Lisa DeBruine)

58 minutes

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.
