  • The List of Trump's Forbidden Words That Will Get Your Paper Flagged at NSF

    Jump

  • I can't imagine that flags will get awards automatically cancelled. Any human (f)MRI work is going to describe its participant inclusion or exclusion criteria, because you can't put people with any risk of metal in their bodies within an MRI machine. Republicans tend to like brain research because the military really likes it. Additionally, virtually all NSF broader impacts will contain at least some speculative verbiage like, "this could help to increase representation." My guess is that flags return an AI or actual person review, which then makes a decision. Some folks at my university have been told that their awards have been cancelled. My awards that have some of these words haven't been cancelled.

  • Relatable?

    Jump

  • No need to apologize. Everyone has their own strengths. I'm fortunate in that I'm the stereotypical, "great with math," type. I'm in the sciences, and lack of social awareness isn't as harshly judged in the sciences as it is in most other domains.

  • Relatable?

    Jump

  • Not relatable. I've never had anyone tell me that they thought I wasn't.

    I envy you.

  • This has essentially no overlap with ADHD. It's just a pop/incorrect understanding of ADHD. People with ADHD won't do many of those things, and people without ADHD can do all of them. There's even some reason to think this graphic could be inversely indicative of ADHD. For example, the only research of which I'm aware on ADHD and metaphor or analogy is actually that individuals with ADHD are worse at processing and understanding metaphors and are worse at analogical reasoning.

  • The words "diversity", "equity" and "inclusion" seem to be blocked from NIH website's search function

    Jump

  • Yeah, I understood. My reply wasn't actually directed at you; sorry for not being clear. I just wanted to add that bit in case other readers didn't know that this was more forceful than a request.

  • They weren't asked, they were mandated to do so directly by executive order. I get the desire to not comply, here, but if I'm NIH, I'm probably thinking that complying to keep the doors open for four years will do a hell of a lot more for the country than if they refuse and Trump totally dismantles their entire architecture with enough time that it's difficult to reinstitute when he's gone.

  • Italian town bans residents from falling sick

  • Their wording is confusing, but I think what you first understood is correct. Over 30 million Americans don't even live within an hour of a trauma care department (and an hour is further away): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28069138/

  • Poorly-named affliction

  • Well it is a behavior disorder. If you don't have disruptive behavior, plenty of other psychiatric conditions cause the same or worse executive dysfunction (e.g., bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder) and the same or worse social anxiety and rejection sensitivity (e.g., social anxiety disorder). Let's not pretend like ADHD isn't difficult for others around the individual to deal with; it is, by definition, if someone has it.

    Ask me if you'd like sources for any of the above.

  • Just as an aside, I hadn't heard of that cursor feature before, and this is wonderful. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. I have to keep my work phone loaded with all the Google/MS spyware, so I still use Gboard on that phone. This will make typing work emails a lot easier.

  • I've heard that most, if not all, of their stations outside of NY are essentially for training other police departments. Is that not true?

  • This is literally the entire stock market, excluding US. All publicly traded companies worldwide. It's the epitomy of the "set it and forget it" investment strategy. If you don't know how to invest, this, coupled with VTI and a bond ETF or two, would be exactly what you would own, and nothing more.

  • A bit of an exaggeration, sure. But only a bit. The lay summary of the article I referenced states the following:

    Venkataraman et al. find that the paper commits every error that it was possible to make in the paper: leaving out important papers, including irrelevant papers, using duplicate papers, mis-coding their societies, getting the wrong values for “big” versus “small” game, and many others.

    "commits every error that it was possible to make in the paper," and, "completely incorrect," aren't very different.

  • When have we been talking about anyone's diagnosis? We've been talking about the common misperception that depressive episodes caused by environmental triggers are not a result of treatable neurochemical dysfunction. MDD can certainly be a result of environmental triggers, and there are a wide variety of neurochemical bases of it. I distinctly said in my first comment that I was referencing a small part of your reply. I'm not trying to have a needless fight, I'm trying to correct a common public misperception that you reiterated. I do that whenever I see a misunderstanding of science; I care about public science education, especially on topics important enough as psychiatric conditions that are often fatal without treatment. If you feel like this is a pointless fight, sorry. I only commented because I understood your comment to mean something that, no matter my read of your wording, you clearly say you weren't meaning.

  • Reminder rule

    Jump

  • MDD is a real disability. It can and often is precipitated by environmental triggers, and episodes can resolve once the environment is changed. Just because someone experiences remission in such a case doesn't mean they don't have a disorder that should be treated prior to another episode. Dichotomizing chemical and psychological/environmental is harmful.

  • Reminder rule

    Jump

  • My point is that such a lay interpretation isn't helpful, and it may be harmful. Plenty of people with MDD have an environmental trigger prior to their first episode, and have their episode remit after that precipitating factor is managed. Convincing someone that their experience isn't chemical suggests against treatment seeking during remission, such as seeking therapy, which could help prevent another episode (and one that may not have an environmental trigger). A depressive episode can be fatal. Telling someone that because their prior episode remitted spontaneously or after the environmental trigger changed might prevent them from getting the proactive and preventative treatment that they need to keep them from experiencing another episode and thus keep them alive. Don't gatekeep depression.
