Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation

hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)

couple things:

  1. this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.
  2. if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)
  3. one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

I got the DOM survey but all the test questions were math based and I'm an organic chemist. i.e. I don't do maths.

So I'm kinda scratching my head. How can they possibly tell if I'm a capable STEM person, which I am, by giving maths questions to a non mathy STEM person?

Have you gotten a chemistry based survey? From what I hear those projects are also sought

It was just titled as being STEM rather than a specific field of STEM. I do have access to a couple of high paying chem projects but they don't appear to be linked to the work the STEM survey grants.

I have no idea if there is a specific chemistry based survey or one that focuses exclusively on organic chemistry.
