USM Bio. #rstats, stats pedagogy & best practices. Was a physiologist/modeler. Running ME/NH/VT mountains is my happy place because I don't live in Scotland

@SenRickScott The Onion couldn't have written a better pair of sentences

@davidjglassMD Plumbing, sewers, draining swsmps

New post to Data From focusing on replicated experiments, which are rarely analyzed with best practice models #BenchBiology #CellBiology #rstats https://t.co/LS6f3xtPuw

[Jeff Walker @jwalkrunski]

New post to Data From...Bench Biology - more on why bench biologists should use GLM offset models for percent data instead of t-tests. #rstats #CellBiology https://t.co/LS6f3xthEY

[Jeff Walker @jwalkrunski]

New post to Data From...bench biology. Reanalysis of proportion (percent) data using GLMs https://t.co/VEDx9gGP95

[Jeff Walker @jwalkrunski]

New post to Data From...Bench Bio. highlights: why we shouldn't adjust for multiple tests and error bars implying negative mean counts! #rstats https://t.co/ceUhOtcP4k

[Jeff Walker @jwalkrunski]

New post - the LMM and GLMM version of a ratio paired t-test allow asymmetric CIs on the plot #rstats #cellbiology https://t.co/LS6f3xtPuw

[Jeff Walker @jwalkrunski]

New post from Data From...bench biology with a focus on pseudoreplication and a thought on plotting technical replicates https://t.co/LS6f3xthEY

[Jeff Walker @jwalkrunski]

New post https://t.co/LS6f3xthEY

[Jeff Walker @jwalkrunski]

Finally starting to move this long term project re-analyzing data from the experimental bench biology literature to a public space #rstats https://t.co/LS6f3xthEY

@SolomonKurz I voted descriptive but my textbook uses numbers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/Ac7GISKNnb

@stevemagness Chariots of Fire is all about the pursuit of excellence but where are the women above? King Richard and Lessons in Chemistry are the very models of a modern major pursuit of excellence.

8/ There is no gas exchange in glycolysis!

[Jeff Walker @jwalkrunski]

1/ Exercise physiology has some horrendous examples of language that is begging for introducing misconceptions in students and athletes. "fast glycolysis" and "slow glycolysis", "anaerobic glycolysis" and "aerobic glycolysis", and my favorite "anaerobic respiration".

[Jeff Walker @jwalkrunski]

7/ "Anaerobic respiration" -- WTF? Respiration means breathing (which we now understand as gas exchange) not ATP synthesis. Cellular respiration uses "respiration" not because ATP is made but because the cell is exchanging O2/CO2 across the plasma (and mitochondrial) membranes!
