Of Beauty, Sex, and Power: Statistical Challenges in Estimating Small Effects. At the Institute of Policy Research, Thurs 7 Apr 2011, 3.30pm.
Regular blog readers know all about this topic. (Here are the slides.) But, rest assured, I don’t just mock. I also offer constructive suggestions.
My last talk at Northwestern was fifteen years ago. Actually, I gave two lectures then, in the process of being turned down for a jobenjoying their chilly Midwestern hospitality.
P.S. I searched on the web and also found this announcement which gives the wrong title.
Hopefully you'll get a warmer reception this time around! (You're also listed correctly on the IPR homepage: http://www.northwestern.edu/ipr/ and in all the emails we've been getting.)
xkcd today seems appropriate.
You should take a snapshot of their announcement instead of posting the link. As a reader of your blog, I wonder, when I followed the link, am I looking at what you saw or has it been corrected?
Were you really turned down at Northwestern over a decade ago? Wow.. How does it feel right now to give a talk in a place where it once turned you down?
It feels good. But, to be fair, they're not the same people!
You might want to post the handout version of the slides.
