I also lecture at the University of the Sunshine Coast when I'm not at the beach.
Sounds super cool! I'm very interested in the fancy new tools, but I am still skeptical about how well they address many of the questions I personally am interested in. You may want to read more about me here: willjharrison.github.io#about

Thanks for nothing, bsky!

Our uni also has an elite athletics program with a few Olympians, but I hate that there is policy that grants them specific allowances for their study. Personally, I'd prefer it if ALL students could get accommodations for non-academic stuff, or none of them...

We are all biased estimators, and our estimates of how biased are also biased.

It's bias all the way down.

Great study and clear results. Did you do any exploratory analyses at the individual level to see if there are some individuals whose pupil correlates with vividness?

Dates?

not necessarily- I think the issue was that I made these voluntary and lower priority (so the students can judge how the use their time without pressure from me). This year I will try a more forceful approach where I tell people a fortnightly meeting is expected and they should work around it.

At one point last year I had a group of 5 students, and we tried bi-weekly meetings. People's random schedules were such that we mostly cancelled the meetings because it would have just been me plus one or two others. We met ~3 times as a lab, which was wonderful, but not consistent enough.

I'm definitely a supporter of you and agree with your sentiment!

Idealistically, shouldn't the reward be re-use of the curated data (with or without attribution)?

Agreed. I let my students do it when the original paper is in a foreign language with no obvious translation, which is infrequent.
