   Researchers already do this in the neuroimaging community. The technique is called MVPA (see http://www.pymvpa.org/index.html for an implementation). The problems of machine learning in general also apply here, as nom poi

   Betteridge's Law of Headlines? There's no question mark at the end this one here, but I think that the Law is at least conceptually close.

   I read a theory once that the religious fervor may have also been fueled by upstate New York's notoriously terrible weather. It certainly encourages some prayer for sunlight! :)

   It's not typical, but it's not particularly atypical either. Science is one of those fields where (especially now with the publish or perish mentality) YMMV greatly. Good labs are awesome, bad labs can break you, similar to most

   I moved away from Ithaca about 2 years ago and lived there for a year. It's still pretty cool. My main reason for leaving had less to do with the vibe and more to do with the job market and the fact that all of my college / high

   CBORD, Glyph and Wegman's are the only other major players in town to wit. There's a small number of start-ups too but nothing that would sustain an economy like the colleges do.

   I've been to Ethical Culture services a couple times and found them to be enjoyable and filled with open/amicable individuals, although I do have a couple misgivings: For one thing, full membership requires you to tithe a fixed pe

    Have you ever taken a look at DueCredit ( https://github.com/duecredit/duecredit )? It aims to address this problem by allowing you to add citations directly to your Python code using decorators. I believe there are al

    Working in finance and sponsoring science aren't mutually exclusive. Some open source tools that are now mainstays in the scientific Python stack originated in finance (pandas is perhaps the most prominent example). It's highly

    For some reason, I always feel like the following quote from Emo Philips encapsulates this sentiment really well (and it's a sentiment I feel quite often): "When I was a little boy, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Th

    I think this is half-true. There's historically been a lot of cross-pollination between IAS and Princeton, which has resulted in some spectacular achievements such as the first electronic computer(the IAS machine; built a little bit a

    As an aside, I doubt that psychology would be experiencing nearly the number of issues that it is now with replicability if psychologists were able to delegate their analysis to an in-house statistician for verification. Or maybe it would

    I disagree on your first point- I think that there could be someone else who could write a grant proposal for me, provided that they a) expressed an interest in grant writing over benchwork / data analysis and b) were fluent enough in

    This is why I'm a fan of open data / data sharing, and why I wish federal grants would more emphasize intermediate steps that could lead to papers rather than the production of papers themselves. The barriers to data collection ar
