In my experience, Keppra can be amazing once you dial in the dosage. Hope it helps for you!

Of course, there are good reasons to keep piloting and main experiments separate. We're calling for more transparency, not less rigour. So we suggest a 'waterwheel' model that combines a cyclic pilot phase and a linear testing phase.

We combine this approach with ethnographic 'thick description' of experiment results. We show how this has inspired theories of language evolution from game design and our recent paper. And we suspect that most researchers are already using this kind of approach, though informally.

I know my audience here is international, but for the few Indo-based friends, we're trying to adopt out a cat who hasn't been accepted by our other cats. Help/leads on rehoming her is greatly appreciated.

Hey conference-organizers (sorry for addressing you in one of your professional capacities on a holiday).

I posted this 5 days ago, and 65 artists have already applied. Many of them are PSYCHED, and many of them are extremely qualified.

There's HUGE interest from artists in working w/scientists.

My annual adventure in baking Thanksgiving rolls started with me scalding the everloving shit out of my thumb and ended with my KitchenAid walking itself off the counter and onto the floor while kneading the dough.
