Hi folks!
I was just wondwering about the "neutrality" of such studies. In my
newspaper yesterday, an interview of the author of a book that has just come
out. I don't know yet on what kind of study/design it's based upon.
Unfortunatelly it's in French. For those who do read French: it's from Al
I need help (don't we all!!??).
As a newer faculty member, one of the things I don't have a lot of
experience with is the generation of ideas for simple research projects
(for high schoolers, undergrad thesis, class projects, etc). I've
worked on big grants in another field for so long, that I h
I don't think that course ownership is necessarily a bad idea. In a small
department people are hired for their areas of expertise (among other
things). Most of us who have spent many years teaching a course feel that we
have developed some more or less expert knowledge and that we have some

organism can be and still show learning. Let me try again.

one-celled ciliate). He told me that a colleague of his has found
simple classical conditioning in the param

Yeah, it'
TIPSters,
With the attack and subsequent death of yet another child in a shark attack,
the tongue-in-cheek joking on TIPS about attracting/repelling sharks makes
me uncomfortable. Think we can tone it down?

Hello Tipsters,
I do conformity research, and our department has come into a little
money. We actually have some old Lafayette equipment that allows us to
collect responses from several subjects at a time, with the experimenter
inserting false responses at will (for those in the know, thi
