Turns out all it took was flying to the other side of the planet to become a morning person. It's 6 AM, I'm having coffee on my hotel terrace in Brisbane (questionable bird sounds included...). Taking a rest day to recharge before International Data Week #IDW2025 kicks off Monday.

I just read a peer-reviewed paper describing how the authors calculated prevalence and incidence of a chronic disease and instead of "numerator" they used the term "nominator" and HOW was this not picked up by... anyone?
