    Vote for University of Michigan (Susan Shore) Tinnitus Research — Winner Gets a Write-Up

    Not yet. It's not clear to me who might be wanting to take it on. I'm also thinking, should it be an ASAP thing, or be done at the same time when we hopefully have Dr. Shore for our podcast later this year? It could complement the podcast interview nicely. But either way, if nobody steps up to...

    We've already done this, and she's also aware of the video Hazel did: Dr. Susan Shore has never been anything short of an exemplary academic, and she is very recognizant of this community's efforts and how people are rooting for her, as well as the wide-reaching consequences tinnitus can have...

    Interesting you posted this idea just now, as I'm currently on a Skype call with @Hazel and five minutes before your post I suggested what if we did a write-up on Shore's work, this competition, and how the community got involved so successfully. We do have writers. Hazel is an excellent one...

    The journalist, Elizabeth Cooney, confirmed the article was indeed the result of the competition, and it concludes the STAT Madness coverage...

    Michigan tops STAT Madness voting with a potential treatment for tinnitus Is this the actual article already? It seems quite long for just announcing the winner. And it looks similarly written/styled as last year's STAT Madness winner's article (which @OnceUponaTime linked above). So my...

    I don't think they are - we've been in touch and so has @OnceUponaTime. They are up to date on how some Tinnitus Talk members are spending hours and hours voting :)

    I also got a confirmation from STAT's executive (an admirable 1-minute response time) saying they're on top of this, and investigating. I'm encouraged by the response to be honest, it was not your run of the mill "thanks for contacting us, we'll look into it", but went into more detail than...

    Vote for University of Michigan (Susan Shore) Tinnitus Research — Winner Gets a Write-Up

    I'm not surprised someone cheated their system (not STAT's, but Brackify's, which STAT had just embedded onto their page), it really didn't appear to have any proper validations in place (i.e. you could disable cookies altogether and keep voting as many times and as quickly as you wanted to)...

    So close! I did this now, a quick 15-second GIF animation to show how to vote, it's maybe a bit quicker than watching a video. I will re-create this for the final round, assuming we get there.

    I will definitely set up some kind of banner or alert for the final round encouraging people to vote, and also post on our social media, maybe embedding the video. You guys have done a great job so far - @OnceUponaTime has been amazing leading this effort! Now nothing but winning the whole...

    Vote for University of Michigan (Susan Shore) Tinnitus Research — Winner Gets a Write-Up

    I actually feel pretty stupid right now myself - for the life of me I can't figure out how to vote. All the options (when clicking "View Matchup") say just "Read More" -- there is no "Select" or "Vote" choices? The technical implementation, the user interface, leaves something to be desired.
