Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Managed to get my poster to Stockholm without leaving it in an airport, which for me is quite an achievement. Come and talk to me about walking over obstacles at oblique angles (or just about the excellence of Swedish cinnamon buns) this afternoon at board 3.096

What makes exploratory research valuable? We discuss 6 factors: 1) Large and 2) Uncommon sample 3) Rigorous data collection 4) Widely used measures that 5) Reveal a coherent pattern across variables meaningful to others and 6) The potential to generate questions.
