If you're still using raw R outputs for presentations, it's time for an upgrade! Tools like gtsummary bring your statistical results to life, making them much more digestible for non-technical audiences. While base R functions like summary(fit) work well for statisticians, they can be too complex for stakeholders who aren’t familiar with the detailed output. The tbl_regression() function from gtsummary makes it easy to present regression results clearly. In addition, gtsummary is highly versatile - it’s not just limited to linear regression. You can apply it to generalized linear models, survival analyses, and more. The package even allows you to include p-values, confidence intervals, and other important statistics directly within the tables, helping you to better communicate statistical results. Here are a few standout benefits: ✅ Simplified output that’s easier for stakeholders to understand ✅ Works seamlessly with a variety of models ✅ Customizable tables with key statistics like p-values, confidence intervals, and more The visualization included here was originally shared in a recent post by Dr. Alexander Krannich.

“We were able to perform single-cell #RNASequencing of more than 600,000 isolated #endothelial, #perivascular and other tissue-derived cells, giving us an extraordinary look into the inner workings of the brain's #vasculature" - Dr. Ivan Radovanovic bit.ly/4bGn1ju

Researchers in Canada got most of what they were hoping for in the country’s 2024 federal budget, with a big boost in postgraduate pay and more funding for research and scientific infrastructure go.nature.com/4azQ8Ft

The Handbook of #AcademicIntegrity (2nd) is going to span two volumes -- because it's more than 1900 pages and physically won't all fit into one volume! -- You read that right... more than 1900 pages! I have my proofreading work cut out for me over the next few days...

Asking students - how is your semester going so far? Enjoying the 2023 version of the Breakfast Club - so great to hear from undergrad students about their student experience

Incredible if true - my students indicate that visual white noise for lecture actually helps them focus. So they prefer having animated gifs running in the corner for different lectures. I don’t know if novelty factor or not but def more views. What about spectrum learners tho?

Let us continue to look with admiration on those who are fierce warriors, outspoken orators, but leave some admiration for those who identify as nurturers. People lead in different ways and we need role models for all kinds of leadership

Complex semesters don’t mean we can’t have fun in class - modern delivery methods and assessments continue to evolve and loved my non-tradish take on mentimeter

I’m actually mesmerized by the salmon run going on right now in Toronto. Worth the incredibly painful jog out to the west end (taking subway back home though)
