Als jullie morgen voor deze bezuinigingen stemmen, zijn het wél jullie bezuinigingen!

Vooropgesteld: de plannen van dit kabinet voor onderwijs zijn niet de plannen waar het CDA voor zou hebben gekozen, dat zullen het ook nooit worden. De bezuinigingen die overeind blijven zijn niet de onze. 3/8

Re: "this meeting could have been an #email"
Email can ALSO predict #burnout *at least* as much as meetings.
A study of 79 employees found time on BOTH meetings AND email predicted "overload" above other factors: doi.org/10.1287/orsc...

Any good advice on bot prevention for online studies?
We usually use well regulated subject pools, so haven't had a problem before. But a student is struggling with a study where she has to use social media networks to find pps with specific language backgrounds.

Dankbaar aan alle collega's en studenten in het land die vanmiddag in de stromende regen op het Malieveld stonden. (En een stukje extra dankbaar aan iedereen uit Groningen, Maastricht of Heerlen, voor al die uren extra reistijd)
De bezuinigingen op hoger onderwijs en wetenschap moeten van tafel, luidde de boodschap van meer dan twintigduizend studenten en medewerkers uit het hoger onderwijs. Minister Bruins werd aangeraden op te stappen. scienceguide.nl/2024/11/vol-...

To remember something (e.g., a list of groceries), you can repeat the items aloud or in your mind, to remind you. What if you are trying to recall locations? Do we analogously use glances toward them to boost memory? I don't think so, and here is some new evidence against this idea. 🧵 #psychscisky
