So, quite a lot really. I am pretty pleased with productivity. I applied for everything I'm supposed to apply for, scholarship-wise, finished running Hot or Not, made and ran a pilot for the Mondrian Value Learning and analysed the data, made and started running the Mondrian Devaluation experiment, did a presentation for NEUR*6000, kept up with all my TAing stuff and did a few other little things like writing an article for TAbloid, the TA newsletter.
Next week our huge NSERC proposal is due for NEUR*6000. I have started, but don't really have a clear idea of exactly what experiments I will propose. As well, I want to get the rest of my data for the Mondrian Devaluation stuff collected this week. Right now with everything else that feels like a tall order, so it will be another busy one.
Oh, and of course the most exciting thing - we have results for both the Hot or Not and Mondrian Devaluation experiments - and looks like there's something there for both! Angele is in charge of doing some of the analysis for the Hot or Not, and I will finish up looking at the Mondrian Devaluation stuff once I have the rest of the participants run.
