I have to imagine that if this could be done more efficiently, that plan would be in this proposal.

Motorcycle traction and car traction are not different things. And if roadways should be optimized only for non-recreational use I hope they work on banning car trips for leisure soon!

True. The study provides the requisite observation variances and effect sizes for this analysis as well.

This study performs a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled (all good) trial to determine the effect of probiotics using a self-report survey. However, the trial is horribly underpowered [1] (N = 20 per group). There's little reason

Very nice. eLife has always been a joy to read, and has some high quality articles in my field. Aside from the difficulties of learning JATS XML, this could be a very nice way to edit articles before submission as an alternative to Latex&#x

MIT classes are individually quite hard, but I also find many MIT undergrads simply try to do way too much. Students frequently sign up for twice as many classes as one should, volunteer in two or three labs at once, or volunteer in three o

In my experience (biomedical), this concern does not exist in other engineering fields. That may be because incompetent engineers are just accepted, or because they don't exist--I don't know. Other engineering fields also generall

Really? As a non-software engineer, the title and bridge picture suggested this would be relevant to me, much more so than an article about programmer interviews.
