I have been working with my son on a research about perfect pitch. He was was constantly emailing hundreds of research subjects.
I told him he needs to use special software to keep track of a mailing list that big.
He told me to shut up.
After he lost track of 30 people, I went on strike. No more help until you start using a mass email service.
I thought the hardest part about helping with his research would be that I have very little science education. But I’m starting to love the science (fascinating to me: people with perfect pitch have autism.) And actually the hardest part of helping him has been predicting the reaches and limits of his digital literacy.
