@letsnotbehayest I am always very careful to pronounce 'factanal' correctly when teaching factor analysis.

@GolinoHudson The secret is obscene levels of self-citation.

@wesbonifay Bud loved his job so much he would say he couldn't believe they paid him to do what he did. I have tried to emulate him for my entire career, and will always, always fall short. Such a wonderful human being, and such a loss for the rest of us.

@GolinoHudson Thank you Hudson. What a great loss. John was the poet laureate of Quantitative Psychology -- a great wit, creative genius, inspiring writer, and a wonderful person. He will be missed by many.

@FredOswald I love this, and it's roughly how I explain logistic regression in my classes. Why do people still report odds ratios when plotting p(y=1) is an option??

@AmandaKMontoya "There has never been a better time for psychology to reinvest in students' quantitative training." Yep.

@letsnotbehayest "...we would also ask reviewers to comment on any major methodological limitations the authors should also consider." ...Can this include comments like "The authors should elaborate at length on their statistical methods and not relegate them to footnotes and online appendices"?
