Had to give an example of misinformation in class last night. Started with my favourite example of the weather forecast saying "rain" but then the actual weather has no rain. "Oh wait, pretend you're not in Sydney in 2025 and it actually might not rain..."

Dear Prime Minister @albomp.bsky.social
During a recent electoral debate, when asked about climate, you said you believe the science, and the scientists.

Do you believe them enough not to defund and fire them at such a critical time?

Great to be involved in this very nice project by @anniegbryant.bsky.social on categorising info theory measures on time-series data, with some fantastic visual explainers --

Annie G. Bryant @anniegbryant.bsky.social · May 20

Info theory offers powerful measures for capturing complexity & interaction among elements of a complex system, like the brain! 🧠 Here's our new unified reference for key info-theoretic time series measures ft. 📊 visuals, ➗equations, & 💬descriptions:
