Appreciate your thoughts. A few comments: - I have thought about destroying / recycling the car. I am not sure this would be the most meaningful action. At this point, I simply want to go to the seller and return a product that is not

Thanks for the clarification. This is a discussion worth having. As a consumer, I'm all in favor of Uber et al. But I'm worried about the implications of a society where "sell your services by the minute" becomes increas

I just recently published a book called "Nature, in Code" [ https://leanpub.com/natureincode ] that is largely about Evolution - explained by implementing key concepts in JavaScript. It is also a beginner's boo

Fantastic, Michael. I can't overstate how much the book has affected my professional career. I'm recommending it to anyone who wants to get started with web dev. Thank you!

Your 80% number is misleading. There is no good data on that. Flu has long been thought to be mainly transmitted through droplets, which fall to the ground quickly, rather than being dispensed in the air, being able to travel large distance

This is really cool. Have you thought about ways to scale this and make it available to others (not just students, but tutors / TAs as well)?

It's hard to comment on the specific likelihood, but a few general observations: 1. Ebola transmits via bodily fluids (blood, mucus). Plus, Ebola does not establish a chronic infection in a host. Pathogens with those characteristics us

Course and moocdemic lead here. I've designed the course with you in mind (to be frank, with me in mind, but I'm exactly like you ;-). Too many MOOCs out there in my opinion that just transfer offline education to online.

Good points. I would just add two things. First, as you say, the percentage you need to reach herd immunity depends on a lot of factors. Broadly speaking, the vaccination coverage you need is 1 - 1/R0, where R0 is the basic reproductiv

Jeez, take a break. No need to swear. I did google it but couldn't find much.

There really isn't anything substantive in this post. Almost all of the problems that are linked to are due to funding cuts. "Science and academia are entirely broken today, but we can longer afford to wait for the dinosaurs to die." Please

Does anyone have the link to the original article? I can't find it on the JAMIA website, and there is no link on the NYT site either

This is a cool visual demonstration of the concept. The concept of herd immunity, and how it breaks down, especially due to personal opinions, is my main research interest. I've published a couple of papers over the years, for those who are

Would be great if it worked on iOS devices. Strange enough, the keyboard doesn't show up when touching a text field.
