Xin

Andrew

1. Finally got all the demographic forms entered for Adaptation into RedCap, and then lost all the race information, because the question was input wrong and to fix it causes data loss. Need to get RAs to re-enter that data.

2. Figured out a way to reduce duplicate rows coming out of my MTurk demographic script (learning new Pandas skills)
3. Hand deleted / merged the duplicates that did arise
4. Submitted the Adaptation Continuing Review
5. Reformatted Adaptation enrollment data for Florian's NIH annual report

Jenn

1. Organized meetings for Bruno
2. Accommodations for Eleanor and Amelia

2. Started setting up the final projects to wrap up the first part of the causal attribution / adaptation project with Chigusa and Sarah Brown-Schmidt.
3. Chatted with Mike about a new project on uncertainty / reliability / lies.
4. Organized ESP, RA Lab meetings - if you aren't already attending RA meetings, you should consider joining.
5. Met with Bruno, talked a lot about my projects, their various states. Talked a bit about the mixture models thatI run to look at how adults generalize, and how kids perform on my tasks.
6. Met with some faculty candidates.
7. Read some short papers for BCS111.
8. Thought a bit about where I'd like to postdoc, money woes, the usual.
