I'm surprised Briar isn't coming up more in these discussions. Maybe it's locked down too tight for everyday use, but for protesters and individuals at risk it seems ideal. I admit I could be missing something though, as I&#x

I think this is kind of the tip of the iceberg, a general reflection on biomedical research and academics. Not that this is how most researchers act, but in the sense that it's not unusual for the field as a whole to encounter this. I

Unfortunately, I sympathize with the anti-mask requirement sentiment, even though I wear one in indoor public spaces like grocers. I don't think people should be shamed or that they should be mandated. When I read into it it's not

Or maybe you just don't want to play the game anymore.

The hospitals losing money part is complicated because most of them are losing money because of lost elective procedures. In many hospitals, especially private ones, those elective procedures are the main source of profit and underwrite the

It should go a bit further than what you're suggesting even. Any half-serious upload of a document or image now, less high stakes than a CB test, generally displays the file you upload for you to verify. Ie, "here's what we h

This stuff is very interesting and informative, but I had several reactions: 1. What happens if you extend the dates back further? 2. It's interesting to see China's dominance decrease and rise again over a long time period. I kne

The problem is that the objective criteria aren't much better. What do we mean? GPA? Test score? Those correlate maybe .4 with first year GPA in school, and even less with later criteria. So, putting aside variability from one day to

I think raising standards or changing things is different from being an asshole. Having dealt with this in a big way recently, it's very much on my mind. It's entirely possible to say "we need to work harder, or take a risk,

I agree with your point re: the depth of information in a field making it difficult to maintain competence in multiple fields. On the other hand, I think society increasingly projects an expectation of this, that someone cannot possess skil

One thing that struck me at an exhibit of Leonardo's notebooks is how totally wrong he was about so many things. It wasn't mentioned in the exhibit but for every one thing he was correct about, it seemed like there were many many,

These things always have a grain of truth to them, in that they describe some places some of the time, but I also think there's so many things going on in any given place it's hard to generalize. A well-run organization will hire

I'm wondering about the different types of tobacco being used, such as pipe vs cigarette, as those have different patterns of use. One of the studies I read collected that data but didn't report those comparisons.

Those comments weren't at a math journal, but a more applied biomedical journal. I also have started refusing requests from that journal. The instructions I referred to werent available until well after accepting the review request, fo

I've only used each of those a little. Turing is a bit like Stan, JAGS, or BUGS, it's [closer to] a general probabilistic programming system with a Bayesian emphasis, although maybe less Bayesian in emphasis than those other DSLs.

The balance is gone, at least in the US, because of several reasons, some easily quantifiable, others more subtle or difficult to quantify. Most of it is due to the prevalence of indirect fund systems on grants in the US. The way this is bu

This is absurd. If anything they should be looking for people in good health who gave already had it.

I agree this is an important discussion, but don't believe in speed limits as it applies to any of this really, depending on what's meant. Many of the problematic developments regarding SARS-CoV-2 were corrected fairly rapidly. In

I think maybe you misunderstood what I was saying / I wasn't being clear. I agree with you actually... what I'm suggesting is that the current situation with online teaching isn't really generalizable to long-term experi

I've not taught online, but I have a close colleague who was doing it for years pre-pandemic, and another colleague who did a bit of it and my impressions are the same. My sense is that major universities doing online stuff have video

Speaking as a college professor, this is true. I started noticing really quickly that there was an implicit expectation that faculty be evaluated on their suitability and/or desire to move into administrative positions. This is fine, b

If you can figure out the reasons for university price increases, good luck. It's a combination of a variety of things. One is that increased demand for employers for "certification" of ability pushes demand for degrees among

It's more complicated, and a deeper problem than that. For example, I'm one of those former psych majors, and though those majors are full of people who aren't good at math, there's also a lot of them who know more compu
