Durham Uni Psychology

I am fine with puns and the like as long as there is a proper title after the colon. Two rounds of being an ERC panellist has mostly won me over on acronyms though. (Maybe it's different when all proposals have to have them?)

Because he is smooth talking, fairly articulate and not bonkers in the way the majority of prominent Tory MPs are these days.

Do individuals reliably generate a honkhonk (or a twizzle, or a splakie) with the same parameters? Do groups of people generate something in the same range of parameters? Is this cross-cultural? Seems like a solvable problem!

Is this a serious question? I'm imagining some kind random polygon tool with N known parameters. Then, for x seeds, t polygons are drawn. For each set of t of x, the users selects the poly that is most 'honkhonk'. After initially seed-culling, the process is repeated with a genetic algo.

Oh, I've done it already. There's no shame, I did it as soon as I realized. I have just never heard a peer do this before. (Though have received a few reviews when I suspect the reviewer should have done so for me!)

Happened to me once. Had to apologise to the editor and explain.

Just did a thing for the first time. I accepted a review with the expectation of being able to review it. I sat down, pen-in-hand, so to speak. Turns out well beyond my expertise. I thought it was one thing, but it was another. Has anyone else had to pull out of a review for a similar reason?

My gran's eldest sister (born c. 1895) was a dispenser of medicine at Dundee hospital until they introduced the requirement for a pharmacy degree (or something like that) and then she lost her job and had no route to get it back. I am so grateful to Flora and her like, and rage for my predecessors.

This is one of those stories which makes me imagine how I would have managed in her shoes, as a pioneering woman professional, before remembering that no one in my family back then could afford to go to university and I could never have been her...
