S3E1: Methodologists? What are those?

<p>In this episode Jess and Sara talk about the role of methodologist in developmental science, and how it’s different from a statistician. A methodologist is a content expert and a collaborator like any other, and we do our best work when we’re involved right from the initial planning stages of a project. Why? Because nearly every decision made in a research project can have implications for statistical conclusions, and methodologists are the collaborators who keep this in mind. Think you might be interested in being a methodologist? Jess and Sara give some suggestions on how to prepare and frame your materials.</p> <p>Resources:</p> <p>Jess blog post on how methodology is a content area: <a href="https://www.jarlogan.com/blog/methodology_content_area"><u>https://www.jarlogan.com/blog/methodology_content_area</u></a></p> <p>Connect with the podcast on twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/within_between"><u>@within_between</u></a>, or email us letters about developmental science at <a href="mailto:withinandbetweenpod@gmail.com"><u>withinandbetweenpod@gmail.com</u></a>.
