- Taught the RAs as much Git as will fit in your head in one meeting
Got Shiny Server installed on www and put up Florian's example from BCS152 from last year.
- Helped Elika's programmer get his Go app for one of her experiments installed on www.
Olga
- Set up a meeting for Masha, Lauren, and myself for next week to use redcap and SONA
- Sent out an e-mail for more definition help/ help for clues in quizzes, since 'Be smarter' is not really a great clue...

Esteban
Dave
- (Traveling)
Collected VOT data from people into an R package (feel free to look/play with, but don't distribute outside the lab, and check with me/whoever contributed data before you publish anything with it).
- Analyzed VOT production data for age/gender/talker effects (same as with vowels), required some code refactoring.
- Outlined conceptual points for socio-indexical grouping paper/chapter.
Dan
Amanda
Zach
- Collecting pupillometric data and writing pilot analyses.
- Looking at Rcpp as a viable way of putting the accent modeling project into R
- Managerializing stuff witht eh RAs, getting ready for the Kamide replication!
Linda
- Sent Florian the first draft of my quals reading list. Protip: Use the package xcntperchap to count up things in sections!
- Started writing some analysis script for analyzing pilot data from the Syntactic Adaptation project. Found an error regarding how interest areas were recorded and fixed it. Ran through a full version of the experiment myself.
Related to the above - tried to figure out how to make the data into an R package a la Dave's tutorial. Thanks for the help with it, Zach.
- Emails to try to arrange RA hours and tasks. Please, let me or Zach know if you need help with anything so we can put you in contact with the ones who are short on hours!
- Latex'd up some tables for the pen in mouth project. Worked out some graphs. More analysis and writing.
Practiced a bunch of driving and got my driver's license!!! WOOT.
Just in time before my permit expires next month, whew.
