Lab Meeting, Spring 2015, Week 11
Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)
What we did over last week
Florian
Andrew
- Moved subject running system to MariaDB from SQLite in hopes of a performance gain.
- Put Tal's new experiment up.
- Started looking into hardware for a replacement webserver, because it looks like that's the real performance problem.

- Ran two of the remaining studies for the mammals project. Met with Mike and Chigusa to talk about the findings of these studies.
- Met with Zach and tried to put together all of the stuff we need to meet with our advisors about the Zamanda project.
- Recorded some sentences for the Zamanda project.
- Read through Cory and Dan's grant proposals for the mock review we had this week. Made plans with Greg to discuss my grant this upcoming week.
- Made lecture slides for my guest lecture in Scott Grimm's Intro to Pragmatics class for this Tuesday.
Read Fedzechkina, Jaeger, & Newport (2012) in prep to make my guest lecture for Lang Dev this Thursday. Started working on the slides.
- Responded to a ton of student emails, set up meetings with students, etc to help them with their Lang Dev CHILDES homework.
- Set up a survey and collected responses for the group projects for Lang Dev.
- Started setting up the (hopefully) final (production) study for the mammals project. Thought seriously about reading it (in Chigusa's words, I opened the paper, but haven't started looking at it yet...).
- Looked up a paper by Emiel Krahmer based on people's recommendations from CUNY (he's also the editor on my Frontiers paper).
- Found out how much Frontiers papers cost. In case you're wondering, it's a lot ($1900 or ~$1500 for a special topics paper). Also, in case you were wondering the max. length for a paper is supposed to be 12,000 words (the real reason I was looking up things on their website).
- Started to think about Quals.
- Discovered that there is an NSF DIG in linguistics again. Proposed to Mike and Chigusa that I should aim for the January 15th, 2016 deadline (post-quals, with enough time to resubmit, if necessary for the July 15th deadline before the start of my 4th year).
