"You have already completed this survey." Fuck. Tossing it back to the wind

 

Sidenote @NBadger since you're here.. sound familiar?

 

I don't know, one time a professor's student was incredibly rude to me when I asked where an unpaid bonus was. I emailed the professor and waited a day, he never responded, so I fwd'd the student's response to the IRB. I got an angry email from the professor literally 4 hours after I emailed the IRB. They do help I think.

 

reversed

 

Seidel overturned.

 

They're HR for Universities.. you got helped because the cost to help you was low. It's always going to be a math game of that vs what they stand to lose by not helping. That's it.

 

That makes sense for sure.

Eh. It's just getting demographics for a video HIT this week. I got screened out. The one time I decided to try it...screw Andy.

 

Some recent economics studies that have been published in the past month have had me question why IRBs exist if they don't actually protect people. Literally one of them was like let's lend money to people who really need it to get them to be in debt and see how they behave at repayment. WHY?

 

Also, for context, that tweet chain started because some Econ Journal published a study that went to a 2nd/3rd world country and put people into "religious camps" basically to see if they made more money because of it.

Which makes me thank the God of Pennies the worst any of these people can do online is link to Qualtrics (for now)

Yea that's what prompted that chain. Watching all these PhDs find out their IRBs are scum sucking hell holes has been legitimately hilarious. So much pearl clutching

 

I usually only email IRB's when I'm feeling lonely and need someone to talk to.
