Incredible!! Thanks for doing the (too often unsexy) work of measurement validation!

It feels like a waste of my life. Like these are hours I will never get back.

Been there. My old university at one point added multiple levels of approval for spending from my start-up grant-- ostensibly no-strings-attached money where it was on me to spend it wisely in support of starting up my lab. It's not a good sign when they do that.

Please tell me this involves testing LLMs on their labeling of novel Bouba-Kiki-like stimuli.

Alternative, what about a grizzled old captain with a missing leg and a vendetta about the albino cetacean that supposedly took it?

I am both jealous of them, and jealous of your two additional weeks, because it suggests you have 10-week quarters as opposed to our paltry 9 weeks to pack everything into at UChicago.

Oh, hey, that's my world!
Yes-ish? Your job doesn't depend on general esteem of your research. But it's possible that you also personally care about that.

LabMuffin is the beauty influencer/science communicator I'd been longing for for years.

Can those of us who are the target demo for this excellent niche post start a club or something?

This bill tells insurance companies that it's not ok to short mental health care like that-- it sets a floor for insurance reimbursement rates that is pegged to Medicare rates. Fair compensation = more providers taking insurance = more accessible mental health care for all of us.

So many providers don't take insurance, because it's not financially feasible for them-- they charge out-of-pocket rates as high as $200 or more per session. Some people can pay that, but for most of us, that's unaffordable.

Why such a short supply? Because insurance companies underpay mental health providers. In Illinois, therapists haven't received a raise in *9 years*, and are paid less than registered dieticians.

Anyone who's tried to access mental healthcare knows that you can spend hours calling around to providers looking for someone who takes your insurance. Insurance companies provide outdated and inaccurate lists, and many insurance-based practices are at capacity.

"low returns on investment"-- are you kidding me?! By no reasonable metric is that the case.

I've recruited disabled participants, and found the selection variables for that were imperfect, but never anything specific.

Wild to me, because I would love to read to your kids. I don't really want to do much else with them, but reading?! Hell yeah, let's go!

They're going to start using the phrase "anchor baby" and disparaging the parents. It'll be part of their attack on birthright citizenship.

Just what I needed-- more muddying of the waters between authoritarianism and SDO!

I want to say this was from an SPSP talk by Sanjay Srivistava, but I repeat it to all students: your first sentence should be about people, not research.

I've been really distressed about the implication that teenagers aren't allowed to be out in public. Even as we're decrying the loneliness epidemic, the hours they spend on social media-- but lets forbid them from going to public parks, or to the city center!

I hate that that's the world you and others live in. I genuinely hope the bravery of people who transition publicly is planting seeds to grow a better world. Gonna do what I can to make that happen.

My brackets strategy is always predicting that Duke will lose as the most painful moment.
Why, yes, I did grow up in Chapel Hill, how did you know?

Did you know the petals are edible and taste like ginger?
