but some of us married and tremulous scientists still toil alone in the almost every day! 🤓

@kareem_carr The days of single heroic scientists toiling alone in the are long gone

#NeuroAI meeting: @tyrell_turing makes great point that we cannot treat math, statistics, and comp sci as optional in neuroscience training. For Neuro, all are just as essential as biology
(Though in my experience biologists are better with stats than comp sci graduates are)

@langofmind What're the pragmatics behind a student's answer to the question, "Are you actually grateful or just being polite?"
English
I just asked my students why they say thank you after a lecture and apparently it's to express genuine gratitude and not just an empty discourse marker that indicates the termination of a social interaction.
My entire worldview is in shambles

@langofmind We were surprised to notice the same very early generalization between real life and silhouette signs:

@langofmind Don't worry, it's both. Popular to whisper, but the swords come out at the first opportunity to signal fealty.

This was supposed to be an unpopular opinion. Everyone liking this is making me look like a douche

Abolish peer review, write less, blogs and preprints are as good or better than journals. But write less, we're all writing way too much

April's been a busy month, and I (@bdzinszer) never remember to take event photos, but here's our update:
Congrats to Anna Miller ('24, Neurosci & Global Studies) on a riveting Senior Showcase talk and to Colin DeLaney ('25) & Sumin Byun ('25) on great #fNIRS posters @SFN_Philly

@cgershenson well, that'll be another fine entry for my Research Methods class hall of shame.

A small set of our 8 co-authors (and ~15 more research support staff!) met to celebrate our "Outstanding Paper of 2023" award from @_LangLearning.
In fact, ours was just one entry in a pretty outstanding December issue, so check it out! twitter.com/_LangLearning/…

A special bonus of attending @MtgLanguageASD this year: @AnqiHu6 and I got to celebrate @bdzinszer’s award-winning paper as co-authors together with Katherine Trice, and @S_SanchezAlonso: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/page/1….

Good thing David Akinsooto's new lab (@caitlingstone🙏) is more diligent about the social media than his old lab is (@bdzinszer👀), or we might have missed sharing this poster from @MtgLanguageASD!!
Congrats on a great #MoLA2024 poster talk David!
Caitlin Stone @caitlingstone.bsky.social@caitlingstone
Back for day ✌🏼 of #MoLA2024! If you're around for the poster session, stop by to see @DukeAutismCtr's David Akinsooto present his poster from his work while at his alma mater!

@thuyvytnguyen I think my perfect version would reduce preamble! 😅
Subject: Prepare to die
Hello,
I have a warning: <b>Prepare to die.</b>
My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father.
I made the appt on your calendar. Please don't wear anything dry-clean-only.
Sincerely,
Inigo

I forgot that there's video evidence! 🤩 twitter.com/shakhlonematov…

One of the many challenges of field research is not having a dedicated lab space to conduct experiments. I am lucky to have been allowed to use school library to conduct my tests for my #dissertation in Uzbekistan. This is how my morning looks like almost everyday now #phdlife
English
Huge congrats to @shakhlonematova on publishing this work, an incredible feat of data collection. Subject counts in Fig. 1 and the payoff in Fig. 4.
Prelim power analyses suggested ~250 children to test previously reported bilingual effects, and boy-oh-boy did Shakhlo deliver!

@thuyvytnguyen Having a history I can literally flip through during a quiet minute helps me regroup (and find old stuff that slipped off my radar).
And it seems more socially acceptable in a meeting to be jotting down notes on paper than adding things to my calendar/reminders.
English
@thuyvytnguyen I use a legal pad as my primary to-do list (along w/ my digital calendar, email, & reminders).
The dead-trees pad helps by being "always on." Digital lists simply vanish from my consciousness every time I minimize them. The pad sits on my desk within sight and easy reach.
English
@thuyvytnguyen @Chops310 Love this idea. I've heard the same feedback about small, affordable U.S. cities with conference centers (admittedly a narrower vision) where food & lodging are more affordable on grad student budget. "Nobody would come."

As a scientific society, we're committed to inclusivity and making sure everyone has a spot at the table.
Registration is $500, we secured a discounted hotel rate of $250/night, & flights are $400+. Lunches are an extra $30/day.
Travel awards for $200 available. See you there!

@Kaja_Jasinska 😅🎙️ "Good evening ladies and germs! Great to be here! Hey, what do you call a gbaka-full of scientists driving off--Wait, stop me if you've heard this one before!"
English
@Kaja_Jasinska @FabriceTANOH3 @manoute25 @qzhever @AnqiHu6 Lastly, this work started out as pilot data for a Registered Report in @_LangLearning
(doi.org/10.1111/lang.1…), who generously supported not just the RR, but allowed us to continue this line of research by supporting the ongoing work with these datasets.
English
And of course thanks to @Kaja_Jasinska, @FabriceTANOH3, @manoute25, & Élise Kouadio for leadership on-site, and to @qzhever & @AnqiHu6 for constant support on the SL paradigms as we adapted and re-adapted.

🎉 New paper in Dev Sci!🎈
Five years ago, @Kaja_Jasinska asked me if I wanted to run a short experiment while we collected baseline data from ~800 primary school students participating in a literacy project in rural Côte d'Ivoire. "Well, yeah, of course I do!... but which one?"
