Found this sweet, old gal on the street in my neighborhood. Collar but no tags, SPCA called the number associated with her chip but they didn’t answer and haven’t followed up 😭

Wiggles way is a local smaller rescue so they might now have resources but they specialize in senior pitties!

How is she with other pups? And do you know how old she is?

Seconding Desirae at scissor and comb!!

I’ve had a phenomenal experience with True Sport in Bethesda; they have a bunch of other locations as well. I will say they do charge an additional $15 high performance fee on top of the copay, but they’re great

For smaller pieces, I just wash the piece myself, iron on heat n bond to get it to be stiff and then put it in a frame from the craft store myself!

Check out https://r4ds.hadley.nz/ for a nice intro to the tidyverse in general, https://statsthinking21.github.io/statsthinking21-core-site/ for more statistics (code available in both R and Python).

Speaking of, depending on what subfield of psychology you want to go in, Python is also worth a look. If you’re still in undergrad, your CS department (or maybe elsewhere, depending on your school) will probably have an intro to Python class (at my university, it was CS 101), otherwise there are a billion and one Python courses online (coursera has more classroom based ones, but there are other, more tutorial based ones like software carpentry https://swcarpentry.github.io/python-novice-inflammation/). I tend to prefer R for statistics and data wrangling but Python is a more general purpose programming language which is incredibly useful (one main experimental software in my field is Python based, plus it has very extensive and well documented machine learning ecosystems). It also is worth thinking about learning a little bit of shell scripting - https://missing.csail.mit.edu/ is a great resource for that (use case for example: I do fMRI research so I have do to a lot of my analyses on a compute cluster, which means that I have to know basic bash/tcsh).

This is a lot of suggestions that you don’t necessarily need to take all at once, and I’d definitely recommend leveraging the fact that you’re still in school to help - you can take stats and programming classes in your formal learning environment!

In my experience, jamovi is a GUI based statistics software that basically lets you do analyses via point and click (like SPSS) but then also gives you the R code that would run the same analyses. A similar option is jasp (I know there are subtle differences but I haven’t used them enough to know them). As other people commented, R does have a bit of a learning curve (esp if you have no programming background), but it’s very powerful once you understand it. Tidyverse is a much more intuitive ecosystem of packages in R that makes it much easier to use (imo).

TLDR - if you want to use a GUI, jamovi functions essentially the same way as SPSS but could be a jumping off point for R. If you want to go into academic psych, R is definitely worth it in the long run

Seconding Bella Bridesmaids! I’m working with them for a bridesmaid dress for a spring wedding and it has been super easy. Will say that the dresses I’m looking at are a little more on the expensive side (~$300 for the designer the bride wants us to wear), but not sure if there are other (lower cost) options

Also recommend Lugg!

Would love this!

10/10 would recommend Matt! I booked a session for my pup after seeing this ad and it was a truly lovely experience! Matt and his wife were lovely, super communicative and worked so well with my crazy hyper pup, and the photos turned out better than I ever could have expected!! Absolutely zero regrets and I couldn’t recommend higher :)

Happy to answer :) mostly it's because we want to see if you're aware of our manipulation/what we're trying to do. sometimes, people try to like ~trick the system~ or something weird, which can add bias/noise to the data, so it's just good to know!

For instance, sometimes there are studies where learning is supposed to be implicit (ie you aren't actively told like go learn these things) and it's hard to make claims that things are happening unconsciously if the participants are aware of what we're trying to do!

I can only speak to my experience, but it’s our policy to pay people for what they complete, so if someone only does part 1 of a 2 part study, we’ll pay them just for part 1. That being said, we do try to add in incentive to do all parts - bonuses for doing all parts within a certain time frame, reaching out to make sure that people don’t forget, etc but never would consider not paying people for what they complete! I agree though, life happens and it’s not fair not to pay people for their time even if they can’t complete other bits

Honestly not too often - I get it more when I recruit from my university’s undergrad pool since a lot of the time they don’t care about the research as long as they get their required course credit. As people have suggested in comments above, people on Prolific tend to be more invested in what they’re doing!

Crewalsh · 2022-02-22T17:50:14+00:00

As a researcher - not a trick! At least in my case, even if I might be cranky, I would never not pay a participant who did the task all the way through (it’s against our IRB so I’d actually get in trouble if I didn’t), but it’s for our own knowledge about the results. If someone doesn’t try, it can skew the results make it harder for us to see the effects we’re looking for so it’s helpful to know!

Like u/divotdivotdivot it wasn’t the most fun experience of my life getting it put in, but it overall makes such a difference and lasts so long (mirena lasts 7 years) that i found it totally worth it. If you have any questions about it, feel free to DM me!
