We develop a metric to score how well different tasks reliably separate individuals. We demonstrate this on a dataset of 250+ participants, and provide a simple tool for assessing old and new tasks. 🧵

I actually want to stop banging the Jews Don't Count drum at some point but hard to do when a racist myth about Jews is just...said, breezily, on one of the biggest podcasts in the world and no-one gives a fuck.

So we're not supposed to describe applicants as "caring" and "compassionate" because those words are too feminized. Frankly, this is what's wrong with academia! Can we celebrate stereotypically female traits instead? I'd rather mentor a compassionate student than a driven jerk.

I was today-years-old when I learned a/b Henry Murray’s 3 year psychological torture experiments at Harvard in the 1960s, including over 200 hours of psychological abuse targeted at the guy who became the Unabomber

I feel like this is worse than Phil Z’s shambolic prison?

Basic science and decades of failed policy made clear that addiction is a legitimate medical condition — a chronic relapsing brain disorder, to be precise — and that it’s often triggered by mental illness or social forces like poverty and trauma.

Retweeting for evening crowd cos no research suggested yet. Have we ever studied this? It seems key....

[Elizabeth Bonawitz @ebonawitz.bsky.social @E_Bonawitz]

A typical NSF grant supports one postdoc for 3 years. Which is enough under this calculation for 2 or maybe 3 papers if you're lucky And no additional training is needed.

I wish tenure/review committees understood this when they evaluated developmental psychology work.

[Elizabeth Bonawitz @ebonawitz.bsky.social @E_Bonawitz]

Add in piloting, design, building, reliability coding, analysis, paper drafting... And that number balloons to easy 5 times that size (1500 hrs). Nearly a full work year fulltime for a single paper (assuming everything goes perfectly the first time you run the project, hahaha).
