The article explores the role of one's #intelligence, #education, #family, and #luck on #wealth. In brief, intelligence helps, but it's no guarantee for financial success.

New article on The Conversation UK with @FernandGobet Are rich people more intelligent? Here's what the science says theconversation.com/are-rich-peopl… via @ConversationUK

1️⃣8️⃣ years ago today... The Miracle of Istanbul ✨

@e_vanags @FernandGobet Technical details aside, the main problems are the absence of a valid mechanism explaining the observed small music effect (which stems from less restrictive inclusion criteria), and the low average quality of the experimental studies (very few large RCTs).

@e_vanags @FernandGobet Hi Edmund, sorry for the late reply (not really a twitter user). We are writing a reply, but currently I'm working on some more urgent stuff.

Does music training lead to cognitive enhancement? No. My latest article with @FernandGobet link.springer.com/article/10.375…

Here's my new paper with @FernandGobet Dedicated to the memory of Frank L. Schmidt. #metaanalysis doi.org/10.1177/174569…

Our new preprint about the impact of education on cognitive decline in Japanese older adults! psyarxiv.com/38pzq/ The results may be a bit of a surprise! ;) #aging #cognition #education #japan #stats

For any meta-analyst/meta-researcher, a sad, well-known truth.

Happy to be one of the new #eLifeAmbassadors and looking forward to embarking on this adventure!😃

@wdonald_1985 I am a big fan of location scale and shape models! Used them myself with Generalized Additive Modelling. Would you like to share your presentation, if it's not too much of a bother?

"Preparing" for a job talk in industry this Tuesday. A topic that haven't discussed in a while, ie, mixed effects location scale model, but feel pretty confident in not practicing..lol.. Should be interesting !

@JoeHilgard I am sure that, with a bit of effort, you can find a perfectly plausible reason to buy the game. :D

I want to play Super Robot Wars 30 but can't justify dropping $60 on it

@wdonald_1985 I underwent the same procedure a few years ago. Three teeth removed. Had to take a pain killer only the first day (the doc had prescribed me one week worth of pain killer drugs!). Not a bad deal! I wish you the same! ;)

I survived..lol..

Fit a machine learning model: 1 line of code Plot the results: 100 lines of code

@JoeHilgard One last job! Just like in the movies 😁

@gs1897 An R&R to finish up. One last job

That "pit of the stomach" feeling when you have to include a study in your meta-analysis even though you think it might be fraudulent.

@bmwiernik Very sad news! I owe him a lot. His book ("Methods of Meta-Analysis") had a huge impact on my career as a meta-analyst. RIP

I’m sad to announce that Frank Schmidt died yesterday of a heart attack. He was one of the inventors of modern #MetaAnalysis methods, and his work profoundly changed the practice of #iopsych and psychology broadly. Frank was my academic grandfather, and I’ll miss him dearly. 1/2

@JoeHilgard Played a few games in early access. Not too bad. The AI produced too many units if isolated from the other players. Is it still an issue?

Who else is playing Old World?

@Kane_WMC_Lab Surprise surprise!😆

@JoeHilgard Been there many times. Even when I am a reviewer (and I put it as a necessary requirement) authors often refuse to share the data. Journals should implement a mandatory open-data policy. And editors should be more responsive.

Somebody is asking that I provide a letter signed by my dean(!) before they will send me data and materials for verification of results.
