If you are reading popular books on social science (which many business books are), it is very likely that the author is pushing research they are personally invested in succeeding…

As a psychologist/cognitive scientist (my identity depends on my mood/day), I was equally disappointed with the sections on psychology and neuroscience. Some of the questions have …

I went back through the press release sources and found that it's actually based off of two recent papers: [1] https://academic.oup.com/cercor/advance-article-abstract/doi... [2] h…

Perhaps this is aimed at non-American healthcare systems, but I have not seen a single report of American hospitals running out of ventilators, let alone BiPaP machines. In order f…

Agreed. BiPaP to ventilator already seemed like a somewhat questionable transformation, and now we're going CPAP ----questionable software hackery ----> BiPaP --- questionable hard…

From personal experience as a cognitive psychologist, I have found it prohibitively complicated (albeit possible) to implement randomly counterbalanced experiments in Qualtrics. St…

Although the time to completion seems quite disparate between Europe and US, the difference isn't nearly as stark as it appears. Nearly all Europeans enter PhD programs with a Mast…

It also seems that Dropbox Plus somewhat recently gained "smart sync" capabilities, allowing for the storage of selected folders/files in the cloud only.

As a meta-recommendation, I suggest checking out Five Books [1]. It's a website dedicated to bringing in experts and having them suggest five books that best represent their given …

Thinking in Systems: A Primer by Donella Meadows Once you start looking for positive and negative feedback loops in the world around you, it's hard to stop. In particular, Meadow's…

Do you have any evidence for these statements? In my experience, it's generally the budget-strapped universities that choose to replace tenure-track professors with adjuncts. On th…

Have you tried accessing the publications via the on-campus computers in the normal undergraduate libraries? I don't think you need to be in a medical building to have access to th…

Well there was, but it was taken down by Daniel Webster in front of the US Supreme Court. It’s a surprisingly common mistake though. I think I see Dartmouth University more often t…

I use TiddlyWiki for note taking, and I think it has most everything you’re asking for. Except, my one complaint is that it uses an odd dialect of markdown.

The replicability of the biomedical sciences is just as bad if not worse than in psychology. [1] http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/future_tens... [2] https://www.nat…

You can also look into "system dynamics" software, which allows for the modeling of complex systems with very little user-facing mathematics. Dana Meadows wrote a book called "Thin…

For my undergraduate thesis, I researched the science of learning. Many of the ideas put forth by this article have merit, but I would also recommend searching the keywords of "des…

It works as long as no one takes a screenshot.

Under non-competitive circumstances this is true. However people are actually very adept at generating nearly perfectly random choices in competitive games. There is evolutionary p…

Psych Science, while published by a somewhat reputable source (the APA has had some questionable positions on torture), is not considered a highly rigorous journal. It prioritizes …

“Thinking in Systems: A Primer” by Dana Meadows. One of the best books for understanding the worlds systems intuitively. Allows you to use a mathematical framework without needing …

Many social scientists are adopting Bayesian methods. However, they don't always have much of a background in college math. These kinds of guides afford them the intuition necessar…
