Gators a solid team. They have like 6 of 8 losses to teams that were ranked in the top 10 at some point this year…

Grading slop. Reading slop. Being reviewed by slop. Publishing slop. Copy editing slop. What’s even the point?

“Topology is for the people who can’t do math” lmao

(At least I think this is the problem you’re talking about)

I've been thinking about this issue a lot more lately with individual-level FEs in, say (*cough cough*) sports data, where unobserved individual effects are super important but very likely time-varying (e.g. innate physical ability). Player-level FEs often used, but never very satisfying to me...

Always been wild to me that that waterfront area is so deserted most of the time. It’s quite nice, except for the part that there’s nowhere to eat and nothing to do (unless there is a Lightning game).

Apparently it’s still like 20 sandwiches. Still, point stands.

So screw you, Dr Bhattacharya, and your cheap insults directed at scientists it’s your job to lead and support. I don’t know how you get through medical school & a health economics PhD (!) without appreciating the importance of incremental research, but you clearly don’t, so please resign.

A 1% improvement in cancer survival rates means that, across the US, you could fill football stadium after football stadium with loved ones who are alive instead of dead.

Better is better! And most of the time, incrementally better is all we can manage, so we should do that - a lot! It’s hardly incremental to you if a 1% improvement in cancer survival rates means your mother gets through her chemotherapy and into remission, instead of dying at age 55.

…and the NIH Director gets up in front of a group of influencers, says their work isn’t important, and accuses them all of fraud (because that’s what it means to do science that’s not replicable). 2/2

😬

You can guess where this ends up going: we got an email that the academic integrity folks are way overloaded. And I am certain that many faculty are just looking the other way b/c working with U on cheating stuff is a massive headache and costs a lot of extra time.

If I did what the author of the article did - without reporting all of it to the university - I could be in major violation of this new policy.
