AMEN on RMP. Boy some of my evals on there are hilarious.

Rate my professor is not in any way a "better" way to test this, particularly considering it isn't used in actual evaluations of professor/instructor efficacy (no external validity) and it has no control group (internal validity). This is a much superior design. Would a greater sample size, more disciplines, etc., be…

Considering statistically significant differences were found, it seems the power was adequate.

Does adoring this video make me a good feminist or a bad feminist...inquiring minds need to know. (i.e., I need to know whether to feel pride or shame at my obsession with it.)

66% High Alpha

Looking at the trendlines for the interactions, these behaviors were actually not likely to lead to popularity after age 15. So, yes, these things make you "more popular" when you're 13 and 14, but acting the same way later on? Not so much. It's not really the "cool kids end up suffering" story—it's the "those who…

Newport is in Northern KY, right on the Ohio River. Lots of restaurants.

4 sex steroids (progesterone, 17α-hydroxy-progesterone, androstenedione and testosterone) and cortisol. They haven't done research on the how they got there yet. They just pulled all samples from a national Danish database from the late 90's from kids who had been diagnosed with autism (and a control group of those…

They aren't. They started with boys, but as the original article says: "Previous work in animals has shown that testosterone plays a major role in shaping the male brain in the womb. The latest study, published in Molecular Psychiatry, will now be followed up, to answer whether high levels of hormones lead to more…

Same here. I've got very muscular thighs (thanks years of dancing and crossfit!) and I get that same thigh gap when my butt is back and I'm semi-squatting. It's super hot. lol

I want Sam Bee to have Colbert's spot.

I call shenanigans on this, as a southerner.

I agree to an extent...I would love to see her play more diverse roles. The question I guess I have is if she really wants those roles right now? She's a comedic actor, and given her stints on SNL, it seems she has a type of comedy that she prefers (physical, etc.). Her TV character is pretty put together, so maybe…

Gaby Hoffman where have you been! Oh how I've missed you. :-)

I'm glad that my professional environment allows me the leeway to use smiley faces at my whim and multiple exclamation points. My personality is always punctuated by smiles and excitement in person, and I have always hated the handcuffs emails placed on me when communicating. I send hundreds of emails per week, mostly…

You know I am 32 and dig Dominic's show. lol
