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. They are often not trying to convey a nuanced understandin

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 been answered (at least partially, such as the imp

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 for this to be a responsible hack — used under the guidance o

Agreed. BiPaP to ventilator already seemed like a somewhat questionable transformation, and now we're going CPAP ----questionable software hackery ----> BiPaP --- questionable hardware hacking ---> Ventilator This is hubris. Vent

From personal experience as a cognitive psychologist, I have found it prohibitively complicated (albeit possible) to implement randomly counterbalanced experiments in Qualtrics. Stimuli sampling and reaction time measurement are particularl

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 Master's degree in hand. At least in psychology (my di

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 fields. The archive of interviews on Five Books covers

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 book is great because it also goes beyond +/

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 the other hand, private universities with very large endo

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 the online medical journals.

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 than Dartmouth College when reading non-Dartmouth materials.

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.

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 "Thinking in Systems," which is a great intro

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 pressure to produce randomness, because if you are predictabl

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 “sexy” findings that are more likely to not replicate. Withi

“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 precise numbers to get a model off the ground.

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 necessary to begin implementing related methods in their resear

In some ways, I think the unintended consequences of these ads are very positive. Anything that encourages us to think about the ever-increasing amount of data held by private companies is a good thing in my mind. I doubt that we will ever

Not OP, but I'm personally a fan of chill-hop stations, such as Lo-fi Hiphop Radio 24/7. This kind of music lends itself to studying and working, as it has very little lyrical content. Find it here: https://www.youtube.

Step 1: Become Bayesian. Seriously though, I am inclined towards approaches, such as pre-registration, which limit the number of researcher degrees of freedom in analysis. It's not necessarily that statistics are broken. It's that

IMHO anonymity has never been Bitcoin's strength, and we must stop pretending that BTC is the right tool for transactions that need to be private. At best, Bitcoin is pseudonymous. Other currencies have attempted to fix this problem, s
