Lab Meeting, Fall 2016, Week 5

If you haven't already, pls read/skim Bicknell et al. (under review).

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

What we did over last week

Florian

1. Edited Hall et al. after we had sent out a draft to, and received feedback from, tens of researchers. I'm glad we did that, btw. There were at least three instances where we would have really screwed something, and likely would have pissed off reviewers.

2. Edited Wednesday's introduction to her paper on ditransitive processing.

3. Class prep for BCS 152 and DSC 530. Went through Linda's very helpful handout for assignment 1.
4. More post-doc interviewing and letter reading.
5. Provided feedback on stats questions on ling-r-lang and in direct reply to a few emails.

6. Feedback on collaboration proposal by Naomi Havron to work on expectation adaptation in pre-schoolers.

7. Letters of recommendation: 3

8. On my list:

   • Esteban's draft of his thesis Ch. 4 write-up for publication.

Xin

1. Met with Linda on the talker generalization results
2. Had nice meetings with Chigusa and Jim
3. Talked to Steve about Information Theory class and read Stone Chap 1
4. Read and thought about grant proposal ideas and narrowed to two with Florian
5. Finished preps for beta series analysis for vowel project

Andrew

1. Showed Jenn some wiki basics, like how to instantiate one of these week templates
2. Nearly ready for annual fall RSRB amendment adding and removing people
3. Tweaked the Content-Security-Policy on the web server some more to make sure twitter feed and blog feed load correctly
4. Figured out how to enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing so Subresource Integrity (SRI) on our pages will be checked
5. Moved JS assets on lab website so I can use jekyll-assets tags to put them on pages and hash them for SRI
6. Updated several templates for lab website to user jekyll-assets for images as well

7. Worked on CrowdExp TODO list

Jenn

Amanda

1. Came down with a cold, suffered miserably on and off all week.
