Last year I ran a very basic "intro to stats and EEG" course for the students in our lab using unfunny vignettes about my non-significant data and covid pseudoscience. If anyone is interested, you can find lecture slides and code here: https://t.co/Jro29eGjp5

@ashleigh_bryar Such a massive loss. She was such a memorable educator and I'm sure none of us lucky enough to have crossed paths with her will ever forget the impact she had. What an amazing legacy to leave behind.

@ninaarena My favourite was the woman who claimed that she had a banned substance in her system because it was her boyfriend who was doping, and she ingested his "fluids" the night before the test

[Dr Sabrina Sghirripa @ssghirripa]

The excuses of tennis players caught with banned substances in their system never fail to make me laugh. At least #Sinner et al came up with a better excuse than mum's tortellini

Also Cahill should be absolutely sweating bullets

Evaluating Traditional, Deep Learning, and Subfield Methods for Automatically Segmenting the Hippocampus from MRI https://t.co/GzIXblTUmU #medRxiv

[Dr Sabrina Sghirripa @ssghirripa]

Wanting to automatically segment the #hippocampus from T1w MRI, but don't know which method to use? Well, we tested basically all the open source ones so you don't have to do it yourself. See the results here: https://t.co/cu3f2rEKPs #mri #neuroimaging

I thoroughly enjoy not being a Windows user

Wrapped up my first season of Curious Minds today, an amazing initiative that empowers girls to pursue STEM. You should consider joining, especially if you're a medico- there aren't enough of us involved: https://t.co/I0FvZkz5OR

These girls are clever and the future is bright.

Is there anything worse than being stubborn and playing their game against someone who lobs non stop, and then they have the nerve to say "good rally!" when the point ends 73 lobs and slices later? No, that was not a good rally, that was a hostage situation.

Upon submitting a paper that has contradictory and confusing findings, a reviewer suggested removing the condition causing the contradiction and confusion😐 #science

@DrAsh_Smith @MaddisonMellow @ARENA_UniSA Yay! Congrats @MaddisonMellow 🥳

@josemorgado The biggest choker on tour. Unreal viewing

It's half past "we shouldn't have been so stingy and just booked a fucking removalist" o'clock

I swear someone could get me to install a trojan by disguising it as a solution to a random python package installation question on stackoverflow. The haste in which I blindly copy and paste shit in the terminal is concerning

I think my little sister might be trying to tell me something with these Christmas gifts...

[Dr Sabrina Sghirripa @ssghirripa]

If someone had told me 10 years ago in year 11/12 maths that I'd actually need that linear algebra and matrices knowledge, I would have laughed in their face. Yet, here I am trying to work out wtf I'm doing with Jacobians and their determinants. How the tables turn...
