Really pleased to be able to share this work by @deepit.bsky.social on predicting subnational measles vaccination coverage in sub-Saharan Africa. He shows that a statistical model based on country-level surveillance data can generate estimates almost as good as the DHS-survey gold standard 🧵 /1

I fucking love gadgets. I like new things. I set up a gadget savings account ten years ago to restrict myself on gadget purchases because I am a gadget loving freak.
Pretty amazing for the tech industry to make someone like me into a tech dethusiast in a matter of five years.

When I use Google now I just automatically scroll past the AI summaries like they’re banner ads
This is really important. Do NOT use the AI summaries at the top of google searches. Ignore them. This is especially important if you don't have any prior knowledge about the topic, but also a good general rule.
Search sources, scrutinize them carefully and double-check with other sources.

the more democrats concede to the republican war on trans people, the more that signals to the public that trans people are a problem and should be stigmatized.

Medicaid financed the cost of 34% of births in Pennsylvania in 2022, according to KFF. If you live in PA, call McCormick and ask him what he thinks about slashing that program
"Moderate" Republicans swore they wouldn't cut Medicaid yet last night they punked out as soon as Trump called. Last week, the Senate did the same
Over 3M in PA rely on Medicaid + CHIP for healthcare
I wonder if our Senator McCormick will keep serving Trump or start serving the people of his state

That’s why it’s so absurd when people say “we can’t fight Trump, he thrives on conflict.” Bullies like Trump do not thrive on genuine conflict with real stakes. They thrive on fake conflict they can win and control. They fear real conflict immensely. Conflict is how you beat them. They are cowards.

Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.

More lessons in photography in the snow (this time in b/w).
I enjoyed shooting in b/w here as I could overexpose by 2 or more stops to show the brightness of the snow, and still resolve the sparkles in the snowflakes.
