Discovering and learning everything there is to know about R packages using r-universe

The goal of r-universe is to provide a central place for browsing through the R ecosystem to discover what is out there, get a sense of the purpose and quality of individual packages, and help you get started in seconds.

Race, academic achievement and the issue of inequitable motivational payoff - Nature Human Behaviour

Silverman et al. find that Black, Latinx and Indigenous (BLI) students receive lower grades than non-BLI students with similar patterns of motivation. This inequitable motivational payoff is linked to teachers’ racially biased beliefs about students.

This is the legitimate last page of a scanned book I was reading (a trade-arts book for a particular part of the printing process), but it looks almost exactly like a Wes Anderson movie poster.

A welcome bit of positive climate news: "Scientists said the ozone’s recovery should also serve as proof that societies can join to solve environmental problems and combat climate change."

Ozone layer continues to heal, a key development for health, food security and the planet, U.N. study says

Scientists say strides in shrinking the “ozone hole” offer a path forward on global warming.

But how do we make sense of stuff? How do we structure it in our minds? 🧵 1/n

I'm amazed at the number of developmental cognitive/affective/social neuroscience papers I've reviewed in the past year that are STILL reporting impoverished descriptions of sample head motion stats and/or using painfully dated cut-offs/thresholds. C'mon folks!
