Agreed! I think it’ll be highly unlikely they get NAION, but they will be able to look at the incidence/severity of diabetic retinopathy between groups

Flora Hui @florahui.bsky.social · Aug 17

Indeed! Issues with coding on medical records also makes things extra vague. An RCT is in the works, it’ll be interesting to see what they find.

Jasper had so much fun at the beach today that he was too tired to do anything else but lie down and chew sticks or sleep for the rest of the day 😂

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

What a crazy start to the year! A belated Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrated 🥳 I was in Hong Kong for the new year and it was a chaotic but beautiful way to celebrate the start of the Year of the Snake 🧧🐍

Part 3 of Summer in Melbourne. Jasper is now a staunch backyard cricket fan and he has opinions about the fielding

Flora Hui @florahui.bsky.social · Dec 30

Oh Krish! 🙈 it was such a great Test though! If only you were here, tickets to Day 5 were only $10! We could’ve lived at the G for 5 days 😂

How to tell if your failure is intelligent? This is a great infographic and is based on the book by @amycedmondson.bsky.social “The Right Kind of Wrong” (which is a great read/audiobook btw!) 📚

How do you diagnose a #failure? Start by looking at the cause & context in which the failure occurs

If your failure took place in a novel context and stemmed from well-researched experimentation, it's likely an #IntelligentFailure!
