“a quarter [of Amazon Mechanical Turk workers] said they made most or all of their earned income on the platform [according to] a 2016 Pew Research Center survey of nearly 3,000 American turkers. More than half ...said they earned under $5 an hour.” https://t.co/DxiJJgs2Ci
How do children's implicit attitudes form? Interesting new work by @TesCharlesworth, @BenedekKurdi, and @banaji. tl;dr: Generics (e.g., "Xs are bad") are more effective in shaping children's implicit attitudes relative to simply exposing them to a bunch of X-bad pairings. Cool! https://t.co/LShC0tIEVN
The reflecting pool in front of the Capitol today is drained in an unmistakable metaphor of the American people's patience with this presidency.
Today's delightful etymological discovery: 'preposterous' comes from 'before + coming after.' (So kinda like 'upside-down'.)
Fascinating new work from @jas_dejesus et al. on the prevalence & consequences of generics in scientific publications. Take home: generics lead readers to draw broad conclusions and believe that results are important (not necessarily a good thing here!) https://t.co/fK4eb93tXK
The judge ruled in our favor on @UofR's motion to dismiss (https://t.co/0eEdGLJCuO) . Almost all claims of retaliation & hostile workplace were upheld, everything major. [A THREAD]
Hurricane Dorian putting on a lightning show tonight. Spectacular imagery.
New paper: Eye-tracking evidence suggests that listeners reduce pragmatic inferences (e.g., anticipation that "the big..." will refer to an item in a size-contrast set) after (a lot of) bottom-up and top-down evidence that the speaker uses contrastive adjectives infelicitously. https://t.co/o5nwNMCvPM
Excited to announce that I've started work on a 3rd edition of the ggplot2 book (with help from @djnavarro) — big news for this edition is that Springer has allowed me to share it online: https://t.co/6kgkt5QCyq 📊📒🤓🎉 #rstats
paper out! "most animal behavior is not the result of clever learning algorithms but is encoded in the genome. Specifically, animals are born with highly structured brain connectivity, which must be compressed through a “genomic bottleneck”. https://t.co/9i0Nnpnrs6
