One key skill in science and in life is knowing when to leave. I switched labs in my second year of grad school, then switched jobs in my second year on the tenure track. Better to admit that you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room.

imagine being the CEO of spirit halloween. you only work a single month a year and you make 10 billion dollars. your only job is sell skeleton. life is good. and then some FUCKER from *Home Depot* says “let’s make one taller than god.”

Is there an open-access survey platform that's like Qualtrics, but is free? Anything besides google forms? I'm putting together a list of research tools that increase access to the research process for people around the world (R, Jamovi, Zotero, etc.)

Is there recent research on best practices for attention checks/bot detection in survey research? Or do you have experience with ones that do versus do not work anymore?

This paper reports on a survey of journal editors’ perceptions of departures from pre-registrations, and provides a template for transparently tracking and disclosing them (I really like the latter). Worth thinking about incorporating in your lab’s SOPs.

Thought I’d give this a try!
