After trying for hours I realized that if you joined the data entry and survey instances as an event, you can use the logic of Alerts plus smart variables to make this happen

Does anyone know on RedCap how to set up a "repeating survey" that corresponds to a repeated "data entry form" so that after some time when data is entered the *survey* goes out to an email from the data entry form (but the email changes with each instance)

Even as an undergrad, my professors told me about the issue of people repackaging old ideas as new in psychology (hello Meehl). Now being mid (mid-career), it's wild to see it happen in real time

Do non-human primates have theory of mind? My new paper takes a new computational approach to this classic question. We implemented verbal theories of primates' mental representations as computational models. These models completed classic visual perspective-taking tasks.

After Trump gutted the IRS workforce — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires — the agency's annual audit revenue plunged by 35%. Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency." They were about making it easier for the wealthy and powerful to skirt what they owe.

No starker example of the media having different rules for each political party. If the press treated Elon Musk like Hasan Piker, every Republican in America would be forced to answer questions about why their party's biggest donor espouses anti-semitic race science.

I treat myself to a McDonald’s coffee every other day and have this dynamic with the drive thru staff where if I ask for coffee “black” they ask about “room for cream or sugar” but if I say “coffee, no cream, no sugar” they say “so one coffee BLACK”

Why would Trump end a program that saves you money by letting you file your taxes for free with the IRS? Maybe because TurboTax's parent company donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Call it out for what it is: corruption.

Here is the full suspension letter from UGent that was sent to Nathan Cofnas, it shows ample reason for his suspension and potential termination. Including breach of contract, using the University of Ghent’s name and legitimacy to promote his racial supremacist views and causing reputational damage.
