Have you ever found out after your GPS tracking study that someone had already collected similar data?

Or struggled to find collaborators?
Or wanted to do longitudinal work but couldn’t access older datasets?

We’ve been there. That’s why we created OpenGPS. 🧵

Scientists who taught rats to drive gave them a choice of a shorter trip to a treat on foot vs a longer trip via driving. Two of three chose the longer drive. The implications for moving beyond car dependency for humans are profound.
I taught rats to drive a car, and it may help us lead happier lives
Teaching rats to drive a tiny car around a laboratory taught scientists a lot about the benefits of anticipating the joy brought by the things we love.
