@UlrikeHahn Sounds plausible, but my ignorance is vast. I do sometimes wonder if the e cost of sending a digital photo varies appreciably with resolution and hence file size. That is something I control. Seems likely that the e cost increases with resolution, but how much I dunno.

@futurebird@sauropods.win When I was in grade 6 I worked super hard on a school paper for the first time. It was about skin myelinization and the title was Man the Rainbow. My teacher Mr. Slade picked up on my investment in the paper and asked me to stay after school so he could read it and give me feedback that very day. He gave me nice comments and an A+. That had a big and lasting impact.

@albertcardona My understanding is that here in British Columbia, Canada, tuitions are set such that Canadian students pay approximately 50% of the cost of the education they receive, the rest coming from provincial tax revenue, whereas international student tuition is double that. Doesn't seem completely unreasonable to me, provided the uni comes through with good supports for international students' success.

Question for journal editors who handle experimental psych submissions: Have you ever offered authors who receive a reject/revise/resubmit decision requiring an additional experiment the option of doing that follow-up experiment as a sort of Registered Report -- that is, pledge that if they do the follow-up experiment as agreed (including decent statistical power to detect a reasonable smallest effect size of interest) you will accept the manuscript regardless of the outcome? Pros and cons of doing that?
