Just taught two more seminars on learning to read science papers.
Some rambly thoughts (tired)
It is the most amazing thing to see the wonder in the students' eyes. That moment when they get it, especially when they SEE that who researchers are matters to the science they do.
We've been using a paper on baseball players to study the malleability of perception. When they first read it they take it at face value, then we deconstruct that the authors are American, living in the US & using an American activity about which they make universal claims. 🤢
⭐️ #openscience into your workflow
⭐️ learn to write a #registeredreport BY DOING!!!
⭐️ all in an interdisciplinary setting focused on working together as a team
2. You'll also learn to keep an open lab notebook.
3. You'll help create a special journal issue focused on walking researchers through the steps of doing open science, from idea to open notebook to registered report.

This hasn't gotten much attention and I admit I'm disappointed.
There's a lot of talk about #inclusion and #diversity in #science, right along with countless heated discussions of #unconscious#bias permeating all of science. But talk and discussions won't solve the problem>
Pls Rtwt
Purpose: to provide research methods training in a hands-on, collaborative setting to researchers from different methodological backgrounds, i.e. linguists, psychologists, theorists, experimentalists, corpus linguists, etc.

Thread on children's rights and personhood.
The kid had a dentist appt today. Turns out he's terrified of dentists: his first visit was with someone who was impatient and lost his temper. The dentist was also a big man. The kid is only about 118cm & 20kg. He's very little. 1/11
We obviously changed dentist but have struggled. We finally decided that the best thing was to put him under. It was not an easy decision to take. We know some things about the effects of narcotics on children's brains, but not much, etc. 2/11
