RA Meeting, TERM 2016, Week 8

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

What we did over last week

Madeline

1. Went home for the weekend (last time traveling, I swear)
2. Cried at Finding Dory. No shame.
3. Sent many, many emails to possible subjects for Masha's partner study because apparently no one wants to work with each other (Oey: LOL. Is that why SONA kept sending out signing up, canceling, then signing up again emails??)

Bethany

1. Fixed more ggplot stuff. Figuring out why geom_smooth is warning that it's removing non-finite values sent me wandering around documentation for generalized additive models, so I know a little more stats now, but my code is still unhappy.
2. Writing methods sections.
3. Going through the NLTK for Python tutorial/book thing.
4. Much Redcap.
5. Researching the confusing mess that is buying a plane ticket to Spain. (Why is the price range so large? How can it be cheaper to go to Germany and then back to Spain?)

6. Played a lot of D&D over the weekend and wished that my magical language powers transferred to real life.

Emily

Lauren

1. Ran 3 subjects
2. Safely drove 5+ hrs home x_x but having a lovely time here in NJ/NYC
3. Read eye tracking papers
4. Emailed back some potential participants' emails to the HLPStudy gmail
5. Tried to include new R Data into Error Analysis, but alas, R refuses to read the RDS file.

Wesley

1. Learned basics of video editing in Blender
2. Ran subjects for Adaptation
3. Read some more papers on drunken speech
4. Continued reading and background for adjectives independent study
5. Had a good time at Jazzfest
