This is a really well written article about common analytical problems in science.

This is a really well written article about common analytical problems in science. I not sure concious p-hacking occurs as much as the author insists and I would have thought they would have mentioned multiple testing corrections. I really don't like the idea of using a large number of different methodologies and taking the aggregation of them as the result.

List of R packages for data manipulation

List of R packages for data manipulation

This is a great list of packages for mucking about with data in R. I picked up on readxl for opening Excel files by the excellent Hadley Wickham (Hadley Wickham ) and openxlsx for writing them.
