Hi! I am not sure about your background--which matters for explanation. I cannot speak to 6 feet in particular, but the basic idea starts with the assumption that the primary vector is large respiratory droplets. If that's the case

I think one challenge is that pre-print servers are meant for scientists, not the public. Take physics. If I read a paper on the arxiv in my niche, I can evaluate it's quality. I often referee papers. For me, it's useful to ge

I read it in a beach in Greece. It really opened up some new thoughts to me that are relevant to some of the problems that I am thinking about in applying ML in science. It made me want to go back and read some of his more technical work

I will second this recommendation. It has some great stories about people such as Van Gogh and inspired some new thoughts on machine learning.

We read this for my book club. I would never have read it by myself. The historical setting is also interesting.

I think part of it is funding--but part of it is also recognition. In a number of fields, the development of scientific software receives little recognition compared to the science--even if the impact is large in terms of the discoveries i

Two other points to consider--equipment is a one-off expense and staffing is a continuous expense. The other is that the pots of money for equipment and staff may be different....

I agree with most of this, except I've had good luck with BlueJeans (relatively few people) and had some audio quality issues with Zoom. To be fair, it could be the wireless connectivity of the people I was connecting to...Screen shar

Hi, I don't know the situation in Europe. In the US, there are a number of data science boot camps geared more towards PhDs who decide that they want to do something else. I've had friends go into that and find jobs afterwards.

Oddly enough, he was my pediatrician. I would never have guessed about his involvement in systems--though he did help spark my early interest in astronomy. He was a generous man.

May I ask what your goal is? Do you want to be able to say read papers? Do research? It's easier to offer suggestions from there. Are you more interested in math or physics? I think at your stage, having a problem that interests

I think he's referring to the resource problem. Let's suppose that you write a library in your copious free time (like he apparently did). Once you reach around 100,000 lines of code, it may be nontrivial to update it (for examp

I'll start by saying that I don't have a good answer to this problem. But, I do have some thoughts. I recently reviewed a paper and was extremely happy to see that they included a Jupyter notebook and their Keras model along wi
