Lab Meeting, Fall 2016, Week 08

Judith's draft on rationally redundant referring expressions - if you're going to read this in Mendeley or other programs, please check the "unpublished work" button, since this paper is still being worked on (in prep, not under review).
- Judith would love to hear our feedback, so if you have any comments please send them to her!
A few things to discuss:
- Planning website presence-mania
  - https://html5up.net/ - nice templates (ANP)
  - make a github page, it's way easier to maintain, because you can just set up a repository in a folder and push like you would push anything else.
- Writing sessions: how did it go? do we have enough session? (3*2h is what I recommend)

Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)

Feedback on two external projects (implicit expectation adaptation in kids; error-driven syntactic priming in comprehension).
Continued post-doc search.
Reviews: 1 (NIH)
Letters: 3

Added PEP 484 type annotations to all my utility functions in CrowdExp, because they're useful for catching errors in function calls and returns, and I'm becoming a convert to caring about type systems, plus I learned that IDEA supports checking them.
Emailed Tal Linzen in reply to his Twitter query about running speech production studies on MTurk
Emailed with Scott Fraundorf about running SPR MTurk studies (been working with him on this for a while)
Attempted to work with the bizarre IRB complaints about our most recent amendment, which is just a boring change of personnel, but suddenly caused a freakout about non-UR collaborators

Read about sociophonetics, thought about what it would mean to decide to align oneself with the labels given by a speaker.
Thought a lot about my projects, worried a little, decided to try to work towards some self-imposed deadlines.
Made a mock-up for a possible project with CK and SBS.
Ran more kids, tried to chat with an RA about some coding we want her to do. Mike suggested that Wu and Keysar once had people rate whether they thought something was true or not, without having an explicit measure beyond gut feeling - does anyone else remember this?
Started working on another scholarship.
Bugged Judith.
Forgot repeatedly about fall break...
Started prepping for the first week of Kinder Lab / HLP Lab RA meetings. We meet every other Friday. This week, we're setting a schedule. On Week A we're going to do a tutorial, Week B the more senior students / independent study students will have to present on their research / a paper.
