@samclab Also, maybe not the diversity you are looking for, but I loved the Shadow of the Wind Series by Carlos Ruiz Zafón and the Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante

[Kate Thorson @profkatethorson]

@samclab House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende and Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese if you have not already read them

@ashleyruba 100% agree with this whole thread

[Kate Thorson @profkatethorson]

@AGarrSchultzPhD One suggestion is to start asking for referrals and contact info in any study you run or any study your collaborators, colleagues, etc. run. It's slow but I've used this before with hard-to-recruit populations

[Kate Thorson @profkatethorson]

@JinXunGoh We usually have two sections of stats every semester with 40 students each. In general, we have a lot of interest for psych courses and my understanding is that this has been increasing

[Kate Thorson @profkatethorson]

@heyitsmefred This looks great, Fred! I'll definitely check this out!

[Kate Thorson @profkatethorson]

@dyudkin Cut the whole method section. No one cares what you did to get your results.

@jonj The Privileged Poor by @tony_jack documents this experience among first-gen students at elite prep schools and colleges

@YuthikaGirme I've been there! Somehow my preschooler will read books quietly for over an hour if I'm typing quietly. Then when I get on a zoom call, all hell breaks loose.

This was my first time doing @SkypeScientist, but I'll definitely do it again. The process was easy and the experience worthwhile. You can sign up here to participate: https://t.co/27frH1xjjC

I had a blast talking with elementary school students in rural Nebraska as part of @SkypeScientist today! Growing up, I wasn't super interested in the "hard sciences" that I learned about in school...

[Kate Thorson @profkatethorson]

And, wow, the students' questions were thoughtful and candid. A good reminder that kids all around us are considering deep, meaningful questions about life, just as we all are.

[Kate Thorson @profkatethorson]

@ana_gram_ wow this looks awesome!

[Kate Thorson @profkatethorson]

@mwkraus 🤣🥳

[Kate Thorson @profkatethorson]

@_JoannaK_ Great initiative! I wish you the best of luck and look forward to seeing the results!

[Kate Thorson @profkatethorson]

Yes! Terminology in the study of synchrony, alignment, coupling, etc. is not well-organized or used.

If you study these topics, please take this survey to help make progress and facilitate greater understanding across terms/labs/methods in this area!

Have you studied alignment/convergence/synchrony/entrainment/accommodation/any-of-the-other-terms-that-are-used-for-these-phenomena? Did you ever get confused about the many different terms and definitions? You are not alone! (1/3)
