New Stage 2 RR published in Clinical Psych Science: doi.org/10.1177/2167... contrary to what some claim, urgency DOES NOT moderate associations between affect and alcohol/cannabis use in EMA data. Take a look for a comprehensive test of this idea and let us know what you think!

hey European hivemind, I need some help...PhD students here, especially foreign ones, are feeling a lot of concern related to evolving immigration restrictions here. Those students are increasingly looking to postdocs in EU. To help advise them better, what are expectations for postdocs?

A fun memory I just remembered: When @kevinmking.bsky.social interviewed me for his postdoc position a lifetime ago, his Zoom background was the Eye of Sauron. Not sure if that makes him Saruman. Would that make me Wormtongue? Discuss

Any computational RL people have thoughts (or even better a link to a paper) about effect sizes in the context of RL parameters like learning rate?

I vaguely remember talking to someone about effect sizes possibly not being very meaningful…but a paper on the topic would be awesome!!
