I am a professor working to understand and help early-stage founders succeed while avoiding or mitigating negative impacts of #entrepreneurship.

My research interests include wellbeing, emotion, creativity, impression management, and motives and I explore these mainly using computational and experimental methods (with #rstats). In a previous career, I built software and startups, and these experiences inform my research questions.

#git requires so much resources for the unexperienced to get right. Its process and language can be really confusing. It's a shit tool and I wish something else would replace it

Does wearing a face mask make you seem more or less trustworthy? https://phys.org/news/2024-04-mask-trustworthy.html #science
Does wearing a face mask make you seem more or less trustworthy?

Researchers at Swinburne University of Technology have found that the correlation between face masks and perceptions of trustworthiness may be linked to social norms rather than how they impact appearance.

Big move by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to stop paying Article Processing Charges (APCs) to make journal articles open access (OA) at the start of next year. Instead, they will mandate preprints & encourage preprint reviews. APCs made the transition to OA possible, but the tide is turning against this business model.

I'm restarting the R for the Rest of Us podcast. First conversation back was a great one with Ahmadou DICKO about using R in humanitarian work. Check it out! #rstats

R for the Rest of Us Podcast

You may think of R as a tool for complex statistical analysis, but it's much more than that. From data visualization to efficient reporting, to improving your workflow, R can do it all. On this podcast, I talk with people about how they use R in unique and creative ways.

It’s a few years late, but a prototype supersonic airplane has taken flight

"This milestone will be invaluable to Boom’s revival of supersonic travel."

Can someone please hire me to give workshops on coding and stats? I think that’d be my dream job.
