For some reason YouTube hates me today. Was this the whole fruit fly thing?

She's so annoying. I don't know how many times I've watched the whole fruit fly speech and wanted to reach through the television screen and slap her. And then I laugh, and then I pout. Never know what's going to happen next week. :/

rachel madden's pretty awesome.

this reminds me of "translational research" in psychology: finding out how to transfer what works in randomized clinical trials into application in an actual clinic.

you can basically get a psy.d. in psychology instead of a ph.d. - which means WAY more client contact training, but little to no statistics/research methods/translational research training. in other words, you know what to do, but you don't know the foundations of WHY you're doing it... and lots of psy.d. psychologists are fine with that and look at you like you have two heads if you even MENTION trying some empirically-validated methods of treating a specific case.

bottom line: research is expensive but crucial. bumbling along like you don't need it or it's a waste of your time makes you look like an idiot... hence the awesomeness of this video.
