very excited to escape this minnesota snowstorm and present at #SPSP2023 this Fri 12:30pm on my "thirt" R package to help alleviate response biases in personality questionnaires! also hoping to chat about pursuing a data science career as a psych phd... whova at me!

New in Personality Psychology, from Phuong Linh Nguyen @yannaweisberg Colin DeYoung William Rholes Jeffry Simpson & @syeducation: Assortative Mating Patterns Based on Longitudinal Trajectories of Personality Traits and Relationship-Specific Characteristics

HUGE congrats to DOCTOR Linh Nguyen (@nguyenllpsych) on the successful defense of her dissertation. A truly masterful effort!!

New Study🔔 If you *were* happy and you know it… read this Experience Sampling Methods study, finding that retrospective well-being judgments were disproportionately influenced by the peak and end experiences from the assessment period. https://t.co/o0TXObS0CA

How long is it gonna take to finish that paper? Me:

Grad Student @nguyenllpsych shares how an internship at Allianz gave her valuable insights into data science work in a business and an opportunity to leverage her social sciences background to provide a unique perspective. https://t.co/FiWxTRYqqG

wrapped up last RA meeting this semester by preregistering their research projects, using my dissertation data that they helped collect! it is truly through the shared excitement and discussions over the years (with 14 undergrad RAs in total now..) that my research stays alive 😅

(Re) reading Paul Meehl. I embarassingly acknowledge that his English writing style is too difficult for me as an non-native speaker (sob). Language is my big barrier....

@nguyenllpsych has been honored with the Heritage #Dissertation Research Award from @SPSPnews and the Summer Graduate Research Grant from @PsiChiHonor for her project on exploring assortative mating patterns through dynamic personality assessments. https://t.co/G9qSFX6mA7

Less than 31 hours since OpenAI started dropping the ChatGPT vision feature on pro users... People are scratching their heads in disbelief. 10 wild examples:

the interactive quarto webpage here if folks are interested: https://t.co/zzq9CTrcwP and a huge shout out to (my previous TA) Allie Cooperman whose lab notes I adopted extensively!

a nice full-circle moment this week as I guest lectured and led the lab section on probability distributions for our first-years. I remember being quite confused when I was in their shoes not so long ago (what is a dnorm???) funny how teaching is such a good learning tool #rstats

inspired by a #positconf2023 talk by James Balamuta, I converted some lecture notes to an interactive webpage with quarto-webr so students can easily edit and run code chunks as they follow along during class 😮 so pleased with my first posit::conf() experience!

ok this is absolutely *wild* using AI to live translate and sync your lips

Thesis.....

Personality traits and skills both matter for life outcomes–but what we TEND to do (traits) isn't the same as what we’re CAPABLE of doing (skills). Think e.g., the socially adept introvert. So do (mis)matches between traits and skills also matter?👇👇👇 https://t.co/rE7YUJTYi2

yay to a successful #spsp2023! thanks to all those who stopped by my poster and hopefully some will try out our package 👀
