Great job @_LauraStGermain at kicking off SCAPPS 2023 with your Young Scientist Award talk!
Very honoured to have received such tremendous doctoral training. Thank you for all your support over the last five years @carterjmike. Onto the next adventure!
The very first graduate student to join the lab is leaving the nest. Congratulations to Dr. St. Germain (@_LauraStGermain) on a successful doctoral defence! It’s been an amazing 5 years working and learning with you.

We want an undistorted comparison of internal and external focus with an eye on understanding when focus is most important.
It’s called Many Motor Labs and we invite you to join us on this project. DM me for more information.

Friends, it would be absolutely *fantastic* if you were adequately powered to pursue a d = .30 with a sample size of N = 12 per group (with α = .05, 1-β = .80). Unfortunately, you need N = 176 per group. Stay critical.

Exciting news! Our latest project has been published in @NatureHumBehav. We call for a reevaluation of the cognitive benefits of physical exercise.
Endless thanks @rrarroca @mavadillo @DariasHolgado @luquecasado @ppandelis @SanabriaLucenaD for their contributions. More below ⬇️

Ever have feelings of doubt figuring out how many participants a study will need?
Ever ask a student for a power analysis...because you don't know how?
Don't worry @NASPSPA members, there is a cure:
Sign up for the #NASPSPA2023 pre-conference workshop on Sample Size Planning!
Thanks to our incredible members, @NASPSPA has FOUR conference workshops planned this year: 2 pre-conference, 1 post, and 1 during!
Pick which workshops you'd like to attend when you register for the conference. #NASPSPA2023

A well-written scientific paper does not build up suspense, it blasts the main results in at least 7 ways, starting with the title. The main results are also stated in the abstract, the introduction, the results section, the discussion, the conclusions, and of course the figures.

New preprint! 📢
We tried to reproduce every power analysis reported in three motor behavior journals between 2019 and mid-2021.
If we allowed ourselves to make plausible guesses for missing parameters, then 43% were reproducible.

New preprint!
Low prevalence of a priori power analyses in motor behavior research
Link: doi.org/10.51224/SRXIV.175
We combed through over 700 articles published between 2019 and mid-2021 to investigate the prevalence of power analyses in recently published studies.

Supervisor: How long will it take you to finish writing?

@OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter #academictwitter
ALT Okay, shouldn't take long. between an hour and, um, 11 months
