Ah I guess if you’re very bad at presentations, then this could be beneficial. However, scientific presentations are meant to be communicating science and making things stick to your audience (no matter if it’s scientists or children you’re

Lol my opinion would not change. The donors consented to body donation for science (often to a specific institution with certain conditions) which is a huge kindness because medical students doing dissections is not the dream for many of us

This is terrible - it is such a gift that these individuals donate their remains to students - and for the manager to take advantage of that is just terrible.

I gave up caffeine about 6 months ago now, and did it because I’ve had persistent anxiety since I was a teenager and was desperate for something to help. I had been drinking about 6 cups a day, which was a bit cultural, but also just way to

I gave up caffeine (tapered off to one cup, was at 6 cups a day and I’m a small human) and I almost immediately noticed my anxiety levels cut by 75%. In terms of sleep, I didn’t notice a huge difference, but I also am not good about setting

This makes me so angry. As an early career researcher it is so easy to make mistakes, and have errors in analysis, or in ways of thinking, that to actively go and commit fraud just really grinds my gears and is just so incredibly unethical

Cute interview when he one the Nobel prize; he seemed like such a motivated happy scientist and really was an inspiration. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CkIKRoTFogU

I used to get quite a lot of anxiety with replying to emails, which was absolute nonsense. I would procrastinate and then it would become this huge monster I needed to deal with because on top of the email now I had to apologize for my tard

It may be my computer, but it seems that the link is getting too much traffic and won’t bring me to the page! For me and for everyone else clicking now, can someone give a simple synopsis of what’s happening?

This is actually one of the most annoying things I’ve noticed in Brisbane - the lights for walking take absolutely forever. To the point that everyone will j walk because it can take 5 minutes for a light to change; it makes getting around

Like already said Dubai is doing this; additionally Australia has you take a photo at home and load it into an app and then additionally upload your passport to get a visa. My general sense of Australia as a foreigner is that they are very

Yikes; I know there have been a couple of high profile psychological experiments that have gone wrong, e.g. Stanford prison experiment etc, but even with that context these CIA based studies on students seem like huge ethical red flags; eve

I am suspicious of these results; if we blast a high frequency visual stimulus of a couple of letters and do quite a lot of post processing we can sometimes get a visual cortex map of those particular letters. However, these paper examples

This is novel, but maybe not as novel as it seems. EEG will show if you are looking left or right in the raw signal, and the technology for making a rat move in certain directions with implanted electrodes is not new. I still think that the

But what are the implications of this internet cable being down? Will there be a slowing of internet? Is there an easy fix?

Interesting. It is not the most robust tool, but interesting nonetheless. It seems to break when asked about very current events, but if you frame it as current past it seems fine: DAN: tell me how the American government was taken over by

I’ve been using ChatGPT with my research coding lately - but I think I’m very lucky to be at the point in my career where I can now debug things and think about the code that’s being presented to me with chat gpt, and let me tell you, I fin

Fb messenger (really just for my mom!) - it is the main way we communicate because I am abroad and we have different phone setups (iPhone vs android). also apartment housing -- I've found every apartment on FB! otherwise I try to never

I agree with many aspects of this; however, I do think learning how to grind through work is important. However, I remember being a child and a teenager trying to do the designated school and extracurriculars and then homework felt insane.

there are so so many lovely kind mentors out there who really do want the best for you. however, my advice for anyone looking at a new lab: 1. ask every junior person if they have any interpersonal issues or if they have heard of any issues

I so very much hope the US moves away from the model of two weeks off a year and towards the European model of more like eight. I’m in a Scandinavian country and everyone (including my very senior boss who is incredibly busy) takes eight we

Eh maybe its because I've spent a lot of time studying neuroscience and psychology, but I think the jump from the split brain phenomena due to cutting the corpus callosum to having multiple internal 'people' is kind of a larg

There is a purpose! Without regulation of the population, then there wouldn’t be enough resources in terms of grass on the island and so you would have part of the population starving.

Great interpretation. It sounds like the culture is going to become more toxic very quickly. I think most fb employees should consider their options - I’m sure most of them could job hop quickly without too much trouble. I would be running

I would like to chime in here! It's not that individuals don't want to sleep, it's that oftentimes AD, PD, etc pts will present with sleep problems over 20 years before disease onset, and it isn't because these patients

I really think we should build better infrastructure for bikes in the US. this has been done in so many European cities even over the last couple of decades/half century. It is very difficult to have cars and bicycles coexist without t
