I don't think the basic talk therapy apps are very helpful, mostly because they have a lot of low quality therapists and matching is terrible. But I disagree with remote being inherently bad (especially compared to a year+ wait). I&#x2

A halfway decent psychiatrist will also handle therapist referral. I don't see any issue with seeing a psychiatrist first, it's not like they just automatically hand out a prescription. It's actually way more common to see GP

Need is not the right word because it depends on the person. Some can get better with the right therapy alone. Others don't even respond to therapy + meds but might improve with more invasive neurological interventions. But there are c

Well you also need to house the mice and do what you can to avoid unnecessary discomfort. In that process you will certainly be doing accounting to e.g. ensure you have enough cages and that they are being cleaned at a proper frequency. You

Very few cities dump their trash bags directly on the side walk for pickup. I can't think of anywhere besides NYC that isn't capable of using a trash bin/dumpster. Pretty sure if the city provided containers people would use

You could also look into the successful quant trading shops, if you're alright with not sharing results outside the firm. The nice thing about them is success or failure of your work is apparent much more quickly than the timescale of

Models can also be knowingly/intentionally incomplete, which necessarily introduces noise that you are not controlling for. Meaning you have to use statistics, and there isn't really a concept of prove or disprove in the true sens

Burger King uses Impossible. You could be right about the business side, but I point this out because I think Impossible is substantially better than Beyond. Like I don't think Beyond could fool a meat eater for a second (and it's

Most scientists only want something flashy within the confines of the "cookbook" they've already learned on how to do studies. NIH grant applications are formulaic as hell. Moreover, many labs organize around a methodology li

I think this is less clearly true than the funding hype imbalance though. I've seen PIs complain that a meta analysis took citations away from their paper that was included in said meta analysis. A replication study that is well writte

What does money matter once a study is already done? Finding the right incentive balance between novelty and rigor isn't trivial, I get the debate surrounding grant funding. But there should be 0 debate from the perspective of what is

I think it's true that many PhD students have less time for pursuing their own research interests than they would hope, it is very tied to your advisor's wishes. Brink of depression is probably not a huge exaggeration either, at l

It's pretty easy to be jaded by the end of a PhD even if you went into it for the field. You often don't get true academic freedom until you get a tenure track professorship, which is increasingly hard to come by. Even then you ne

3 different papers in 2.5 years with a group? Did they all have to be lead author works? And if so may I ask what is your field? That kind of requirement would be way too strict for some fields. Flexible graduation guidelines can be abused

No remotely reputable STEM PhD program in the US actually charges you tuition, they also pay you a modest wage like you describe in Europe. You might have to TA some semesters if you don't go to a top program or work for a well establi

It's not even remotely efficient industrialization though. Doctors spend a lot of time doing things that could easily be done by someone with much less training. Doctors would have more time to spend with patients that actually need th

The times I've come across this I've been able to just go to the restaurant website and download the menu PDF normally from there. Even when the QR code brings you directly to the website it feels like a clunky experience, so I&#x

The use case for the ReMarkable is not the same as the use case for an iPad. There are other e-ink writing tablets out there besides ReMarkable obviously, but iPad did not at all satisfy what I was looking for in a note taking/paper re

I think once vaccine rollout was widespread it was time to lift many of the restrictions. But regardless of your opinions on this, MIT is not claiming the restrictions are still there because of COVID. They are outright saying they are keep

I think it has changed a bit, but at the same time there's no way it's "surpassed Harvard" in elitism. I recently spent time on both campuses and Harvard is still more restrictive than MIT is, and the vibe is clearly mor

The restrictions are clearly there, you can't miss the eyesore in lobby 7. But you're right that they're easy enough to get around if you're just looking to access main group buildings. The restrictions are inconsistent

COVID was the original reason but it's not clear why they're keeping it this way. At least what I've read has been pretty vague/weak justification. I guess there was some legitimacy to the concerns that heavy-handed COVI

This reminds me a bit of the academic career path. I don't think it'd be terrible to spend 5-10 years at level 2, provided that you knew you would make level 3 (or at least had very good odds). I think the bigger problem is the un

I can guarantee you that SAT tutoring is not uplifting anyone. They teach very specifically to the test, it's an extremely inefficient way to try to develop intellectually. I think the anti-SAT argument is indeed misguided though. As i

New Jersey is basically just the suburb of two different cities. The NYC suburb side of it seems very high QoL IME, and while expensive it's substantially cheaper than trying to live in a Bay area suburb. NJ is also dense AF for a stat

I mean there also are people that have genetic conditions which make it almost impossible to not be obese without external intervention. Those people are obviously a minority of the obese population, but I wouldn't say that anyone can

Prescription of antidepressants really should be coupled with therapy (and often is), which if done right should prompt plenty of introspection. Also in those with severe depression, functioning is so low it can be difficult to even engage

There are also other reasons birth month could be related to psychiatric disease that sound more pseudoscience-y at first. There's good reason to believe that infection at the wrong time of pregnancy can increase risk of Schizophrenia

"visual learner" as it is used in education theory does appear to be mostly bunk. For a variety of reasons, one of which is that most people have both auditory and visual thoughts. However I would caution not throwing the baby out
