Very cool paper measuring pedestrian volumes on NYC streets and examining crash risks:
"Intersections with the highest pedestrian injury risk are often outside Manhattan, where exposure-adjusted danger is the greatest."

BLAZING SADDLES was released 52 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great comedies of the 1970s, and among the most popular of director Mel Brooks, the story of how it was made is a cascading waterfall of creative alternatives...

Ontario went all in on 'we're a cheaper place to assemble cars for the NA market'
It's not going well anymore and the cities don't have particularly diverse economies

A sad day at NIH...
The NIH Record was a great way for NIH folks to find out what was going on across NIH.
Many important stories published there over the years.

I did the math at some point and the numpy paper + the alphafold paper is like 20% of nature's 5-year impact factor
I dunno if the reviewers could have rejected this manuscript if they tried tbh

I don't know if this is good or bad but it's in line with their IF boosting efforts from the last decade

Nature publishes a lot of stuff now that's something that they expect a lot of papers to cite - to increase impact factor - even if it's not really in line with what nature historically has been
The numpy paper in nature got 30k citations in 5 years

My (now) weekly update on 2026 NIH funding.
New and competitive renewal awards.
3 new awards (compared to ~100 expected based on recent years).
No new ICs... still just NIA, NINDS, NIDCD, and NIDCR.

The first full year of tracking research on @bsky.app
Hi, we are Altmetric, and we track how research is communicated across the web.
We now have one full calendar year of Bluesky research data and thought we'd have a looksie.

If you can't find research on bluesky, I do not know what to tell you
Since Jan 1 2025, which feels like four trillion years ago, research has been shared on here 5 million whole-ass times. Bluesky recently passed 2 billion posts IN TOTAL.
So 0.25% of the entire site's traffic was citations to research.
That is actually massively high. Is it? Yes. Here's why.

NY is having a bad flu season. More hospitalizations last week than any week on record.
Health authorities are encouraging everyone aged 6mo+ to get the flu vax (it's not too late).
Find a provider here: on.nyc.gov/getvaccinated. You can filter for sites where there's no cost for the uninsured.

I dunno how you run MTA trains with one driver and no conductor, these aren't stations with screen doors and automated trains
There's a bunch of stations you can't even see half the platform from the front of the train
