A loud argument is not necessarily a good argument. A repeated argument is not necessarily a good argument. An interrupting argument is not necessarily a good argument. Would you like me to repeat that slowly for the presidents in the back?

I am old so I can say this: innovation in neuroscience research can be accelerated if we did not waste so much resources repeating what we already know from NHP and rat research in Cre mouse lines

Thanks for the suggestion. No luck so far. Getting the thing recognized is not really working although sometimes I seem to be able to read the last print to the serial port. Not very consistent.

Any color vision experts on Bluesky? We want to color calibrate some monitors in our lab, but the spectroradiometer we have (Spectrscan PR650) doesn't work with the software we planned to use (Spectrashop 6). #colorvision #colorcalibration #visionscience

Of course there are exceptions, and there are surely cases where a first draft is excellent as-is and feedback will barely improve things. However, the chance that your thesis is such an exception is a lot smaller than the chance that you can benefit from feedback.

Chris Klink @chrisklink.bsky.social · 17/07/2024

If mistakes or omissions are detected in a first draft, your supervisors can explain what's wrong and suggest improvements, if they are first spotted in the final work they will affect your grade. In fact, handling feedback well typically improves your grade too.

Chris Klink @chrisklink.bsky.social · 17/07/2024

We see this tendency often. Usually because deadlines approach faster than anticipated, and/or students are reluctant to share incomplete work. This is a shame. First drafts don't need to be perfect, that's why they're first drafts.

Chris Klink @chrisklink.bsky.social · 17/07/2024

In fact, this is precisely why you have supervisors. Use them. And remember, they are also the ones grading your thesis (or one of the people that do) so getting some insight into what they want to see is very valuable.

Chris Klink @chrisklink.bsky.social · 17/07/2024

Feedback on a first draft (even an incomplete one) almost always improves a thesis and gets you a higher grade. Professional scientists also ask their colleagues for feedback on their work before they submit it for detailed peer review scrutiny.

Chris Klink @chrisklink.bsky.social · 17/07/2024

Dear students, a word of advise in thesis-submission times: you may think you don't need your supervisor's feedback on a first draft of your thesis and skipping it will give you more writing time towards your 'final' thesis submission deadline, but you're almost certainly wrong.

Just stumbled upon this at a local record store. I did not know this existed but it's up there with the Wugazi record. Both great mash-ups. #TodayOneLoveTomorrowTheWorld

Like most neuroscientists, we have an opinion on consciousness. Our opinion: "Stop arguing apples aren't oranges and vice versa; use both to better understand fruit". The final paper will appear in Neuron soon, but here's an early draft preprint for the impatient.
