Depends on the purpose. For documents (especially those on which people work collaboratively over long periods of time) I find YYYY-MM-DD ideal. It spares the issues around day or month first when Europeans and people from the US work together, the document are easy to sort and, if it takes more than a year to complete the project (as is often the case in research) things don’t get messy.

The fourth kind is the reason I hardly ever pet any cat XD
XD fair enough ! Tbh I was just trying to see if this could be made into a joke. I’ve never had a proper taco (except maybe once, but I was drunk as hell and it was a very poorly made imitation that I wouldn’t call a taco) so I wouldn’t know what to eat it with. Please enlighten me, what kind of sauce do people put on tacos (if any)?
IMO, the end of the post’s title should be “ketchup or mayo ?”
I was actually joining the chat to write that things are not that different in biology. I have a PhD and 7 years of postdocs behind me. Over the years I have :
- been denied a management position because “the team was only men, who wouldn’t listen to me” (spoiler alert, they put an incompetent guy in charge who screwed up massively and I ended up taking over, successfully).
- had a boss who systematically doubted my opinion (while he was not a specialist of the topic) but listened to the very same argument from a male colleague
- had male Masters students who could speak uninterrupted during meetings when I couldn’t
- got denied a tenure position for a guy with the same profile (literally the same topic and same labs) but much less experience than mine (like 5 years younger) This last one broke me, I ended up quitting academia
This is a cognitive task aiming to assess whether kids can trade a small reward now for a bigger one later (it tests inhibitory control and ability to project oneself in the future). This experiment was conducted by comparative psychologists and, if I recall well, they also compared the kid’s performance to that of some primates to understand the evolution of the human mind.
