UNC IRB suddenly reverses its decision AFTER THE FACT on whether research
As a member of my institution's IRB, I reacted to the following segment:

The only way these statements could allow identification of individuals out of

people. But that opens a can of worms ... if some student tells others that he

It sounds like this case has a lots of issues.
As to the question of the IRB it is not clear whether the specific examples the

Yes it is confusing to learn another language because the words mean much more
than a literal translation. Words and their context also change over time and
depend on the culture. And everyone always has to figure out how much the asker

I'm sure that most of us have experienced this first hand.

I totally agree with your position, Chris. My comment on the possible IRB
transgression (or whatever potential indiscretion Willingham may have committed
by revealing the information to CNN) was made in the context of my earlier
statement that if you do controversial research, you better dot
