You know that annoying NSF form "List every coauthor/co-PI from the last 4y" ?

At @cevianlabs.io we built a free tool that drafts the COI form from your PDF CV in minutes. Check it out 👇

Sounds like Darwin Award contender!

Oh no!
I think that would be impossible on mine - you have to hold the safety bar in or it immediately stops running.

Today's MVP - not sure what I would have done without it! Sidewalks are now tunnels with at least 4' snowbanks. Will try to help out some more neighbors tomorrow.

Hope everyone else in the snowpocalypse zone is safe and warm!

You might be amused to know that both my cats, James and Alice, are actually named after two of my favorite Colorado 13ers, James Peak and Mt. Alice. I thought it was fun to give them human/not-human names

I can see out the front windows so I can confirm outside still exists at least locally. It is a very white outside. I was going to attempt a second round of snow blowing but it would probably be immediately blown right back.

There is definitely a learning curve but most things are pretty straightforward. But if you are more comfortable with Python and starting from scratch, it would make sense to just use PsychPy, especially given it is open source vs. paying for E-Prime.

Gearing up to start incorporating some behavioral tasks into the lab- is E-prime still the best "go-to" re: features and flexibility, or are their other softwares that have superseded it?

#PsychSciSky

We still use E-prime (largely because we don't want to have to reprogram all our tasks and processing pipelines) but a lot of folks use PsychoPy and seem happy with it.

His dad was so excited to read it to him that when we snuck in a chapter while he was at work kiddo agreed to move the bookmark back so dad wouldn’t miss out on it that evening 🥰

Got to introduce my friends' almost 7 year old to The Hobbit this week (via the beautiful illustrated edition) and feel privileged to have been there for this important nerd lifecycle ritual.

Not yet but it might be coming! He did just say "When I told you you need to listen to crew instructions it's so you don't get hurt. More than I don't want to do the paperwork I don't want to see you in pain!". Major dad energy.

You can learn a lot of stats just by reading the mplus user’s guide and the various special topics guides online. Their regression book is also super useful and pretty much always out in our lab work room.

I personally like having it on because I sometimes discover people I should be following but am not yet that way, but YMMV.

These stories reinforce my already high paranoia about double checking grant previews before submitting.

Oh my! This is why "all asides to ourselves in the comments, never in the text" is a solid rule for all drafts.

In a competitive field like academia, everyone feels like a fraud sometimes, whether it’s a scathing peer review, a bad comment from a student, or being shooed away by campus security when you get caught eating apple cores and chicken bones out of the dining hall dumpster at 3 a.m.

I am looking to hire 2-3 post-docs over the course of the next few months to work on questions related to cognitive control in humans, broadly construed. EEG, TMS, DBS, sEEG, fMRI or related methodological experience preferred.
