Once, we ran a study on Prolific and a participant wrote on Reddit that the study “Felt like I was losing the will to live.” I went on the Prolific Subreddit (24k members!) and asked what matters. Here is what they told me. A thread on happier participants and better studies 1/9

There's a pattern that predicts who does well on IQ tests: people who spend more time on hard problems. New work w/ @samisaguy extends a 40 year old finding about the role of effort in IQ testing, showing why these tests aren't bare measures of "intelligence."

@EvelinaLeivada @LanguageMIT @lexfridman It’s a very good model of English hooked up to an AI that’s very stupid. I mean humans can be native speakers and not know what an adjective is.
I so disagree! As someone who faces lots of visa barriers, being able to have virtual presentation options is always appreciated Hybrid policies also help increase access&visibility for ppl with kids, disabilities etc (and yes I had to turn down an invitation to speak at SNL)
Good to see more conferences ban pre-recorded or virtual talks, one of the many weird relics of the pandemic and a pain to sit through when physically at the conference. Here from the Society for the Neurobiology of Language:

@EvelinaLeivada @LanguageMIT @lexfridman Why should its linguistic knowledge be evaluated by ability to follow instructions, unlike any other theory? And is there any theory that can come this close?
