😆I just got rick rolled in one of my undergrads' papers (possibly a bad AI link?). But it made me laugh (while grading!), so I'm allowing it. The roll that is, not the AI.

In case you haven't seen it yet, M&C is doing a special issue for Larry Jacoby. It says 4/30 for a due date, but I believe we're allowing for some more wiggle room. www.psychonomic.org/page/MCjacoby

There's a new TT cog neuro job at UNLV (mostly fMRI). I lived with intense humidity for my first 30ish years, so I can say the "but it's a dry heat" thing is real. Now I get irritated by humidity over 15%. I'd be happy to talk informally with anyone interested. www.higheredjobs.com/institution/...

Man, one of my colleagues got so mad at how hard it was to spend his grant money due to university admin obstructionism & bureaucracy that he ragequit the system, set up a whole separate nonprofit org, and now routes all NSF/NIH grants through the nonprofit.
