No more postdocs from abroad I guess...

@benstone241 See it, say it, snort it.

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.

FYI, coming back from 3 business days away from work to FOUR emails about the same review request is excessive and not likely to make me want to provide free labor for your journal.

@PausalZ @chanibravo1 have you written this paper yet? I need to cite it! again!

[Rebecca Stebbins @BecStebbs]

Help me out #epitwitter - what is a good paper to cite when trying to explain to someone why not to put p-values in Table 1?

[Rebecca Stebbins @BecStebbs]

@docwaanjai Yes! 💯 open-access is crucial! But also without exorbitant fees for the authors!

[Rebecca Stebbins @BecStebbs]

I'm seriously considering starting a journal called "Descriptive Epidemiology" that just publishes well-done descriptive papers since existing biomedical journals don't seem to value those AT ALL. Do better, existing journals!

[Rebecca Stebbins @BecStebbs]

@_ACDennis I think the tricky part is going to be figuring out how to make it 💯 open-access, without charging authors anything to publish in, while compensating reviewers and editors for their time…

[Rebecca Stebbins @BecStebbs]

@kxlim Find the time of day during which you write best, and use it. For me, it was after dinner (with a glass of wine) until bed. I rarely wrote during the actual work day.

@MooreMicrobe I haven't tried the custard creams! I'm very partial to Hobnobs, but sometimes you need chocolate.

[Rebecca Stebbins @BecStebbs]

I know it got too hot in my apartment because the chocolate on my digestives melted and they're stuck together.

Does a programming language translator app exist? I could really use a SAS -> R translator right now.

[Rebecca Stebbins @BecStebbs]

A reading day! I’m giving myself a reading day!

[Rebecca Stebbins @BecStebbs]

@PausalZ @ProfMattFox how does one make this magical change?

[Rebecca Stebbins @BecStebbs]

My 2nd dissertation paper is out! In this paper, I get around journal word limits by putting 2 pages of introduction and a paragraph from the discussion in the supplementary material! https://t.co/5WS2suFMD7

Looks like #SER2022 is going to be 🔥🔥🔥

@ami_sedani @societyforepi @CAUSALab Remember to hydrate! These types of events keep the coffee flowing, and you may go out for drinks at the end of the day; it's very easy to get dehydrated!

Today, my mom tried to use my European washer/dryer machine and 1) washed her clothes w/o soap, 2) dried her unwashed clothes, 3) dried her clothes w/ soap, 4) successfully washed her clothes w/ soap, 5) re-washed her clothes w/o soap before finally 6) drying her clothes.
