I chaired a search committee for an open Asst/Assoc Prof. We did 15 zoom pre-interviews. We had 7 questions that lasted 25 mins, w/ an opportunity for the candidates to ask questions at the end. Here are my tips from that experience, themed around song lyrics! Enjoy!

0 for 2 on co-authored CHI submissions this year. You cannot win them all. Setbacks and resubmissions are completely normal in research. If you’re a grad student feeling bad about rejection, chin up and keep on pushing toward your goals!

Excellent episode on meta-analysis and what they teach us about how we need to improve how we do science to better integrate knowledge, as well as a very interesting observation about how you'd hope our effect sizes increase over time because we learn more (but they don't).

On this day in 1970 Doug Engelbart was awarded the US patent for the computer mouse, which became an icon for his life's work, but in fact was among his LEAST significant contributions. Today we revisit his seminal talk: "The Augmented Knowledge Workshop" dougengelbart.org/AKW

In the LLM-science discussion, I see a common misconception that science is a thing you do and that writing about it is separate and can be automated. I’ve written over 300 scientific papers and can assure you that science writing can’t be separated from science doing. Why? 1/18

@levikul09 YES we should visualize, BUT descriptive stats VS vis is a false dichotomy. It’s not that descriptive (vs inferential) stats are deceptive, rather measures of central tendency are insufficient in this case. So it’s misleading to call the class of descriptives misleading :)

Don't base your conclusions only on descriptive statistics! Let me explain why. A thread on Anscombe's quartet. 1/8

@sharoz Are there any material syntethising some of the evidence about data visualization? I'm very interested in the topic, but constantly get confused with the amount of diverging guidances.

This guide propagates a litany of evidence-free myths about visualization. It's got all the classic topes: axes should start at 0, square aspect ratio is best, fonts help dyslexic people, more colors = less accessible, etc. Cite empirical evidence, not design gurus.
