If you're still using raw R outputs for presentations, it's time for an upgrade! Tools like gtsummary bring your statistical results to life, making them much more digestible for non-technical audiences.

While base R functions like summary(fit) work well for statisticians, they can be too complex for stakeholders who aren’t familiar with the detailed output. The tbl_regression() function from gtsummary makes it easy to present regression results clearly.

In addition, gtsummary is highly versatile - it’s not just limited to linear regression. You can apply it to generalized linear models, survival analyses, and more. The package even allows you to include p-values, confidence intervals, and other important statistics directly within the tables, helping you to better communicate statistical results.

Here are a few standout benefits:
✅ Simplified output that’s easier for stakeholders to understand
✅ Works seamlessly with a variety of models
✅ Customizable tables with key statistics like p-values, confidence intervals, and more

The visualization included here was originally shared in a recent post by Dr. Alexander Krannich.

Researchers in Canada got most of what they were hoping for in the country’s 2024 federal budget, with a big boost in postgraduate pay and more funding for research and scientific infrastructure https://t.co/lvOYnUeBBQ

For my students but also myself

The Handbook of #AcademicIntegrity (2nd) is going to span two volumes -- because it's more than 1900 pages and physically won't all fit into one volume! -- You read that right... more than 1900 pages! I have my proofreading work cut out for me over the next few days...

[Bill J @NeuroscienceUT]

Asking students - how is your semester going so far? Enjoying the 2023 version of the Breakfast Club - so great to hear from undergrad students about their student experience

@byzbets This came up during my feedback session - SALT - student academic leadership team for a course

[Bill J @NeuroscienceUT]

Incredible if true - my students indicate that visual white noise for lecture actually helps them focus. So they prefer having animated gifs running in the corner for different lectures. I don’t know if novelty factor or not but def more views. What about spectrum learners tho?
