"I have good work-life balance. I only work like 50-60 hours a week."
Spoken by a friend, a true GenX -er.

Ever wondered if kids use words like 'um' in a meaningful way? New research led by Eloise West @ubcpsych.bsky.social suggests yes! Kids aged 5-8 used more fillers, hedges, and pauses when they were ultimately inaccurate.

Started watching The Irrational. It's essentially psych 101 in TV. The magic is lost when you have a PhD in applied developmental science! The show even says, "if you don't understand the science, everything looks like magic." 🤣

1/ Hey #devscisky #psychscisky), I'm running into a problem where an online moderated developmental study (i.e. on zoom w/kids) gets a ton of signups from different emails with the same format that seem to be programmatically generated. They were one guy, no kid, didn't even pretend.
