From @jamanetworkopen.com: The SOFA-2 score updates the 1996 Sequential Organ Failure Assessment, reflecting current definitions, variables, and thresholds to grade organ dysfunction in critically ill adults receiving intensive care.

💬 Editorial: SOFA-2 improves the measurement of organ failure in intensive care by integrating current treatments and data-driven criteria, but further research is needed to address persistent challenges and optimize bedside utility.

SOFA-2, validated in >3 million ICU patients, incorporates contemporary organ support and treatments, showing strong predictive validity for ICU mortality in diverse international settings.

Good point! Let’s revive the tradition: if you recently read an interesting paper (doesn’t matter which field) please share!! #FridayPaperClub

Still want to make cleaning biodiversity data shrimp-ler? 🦐

Good news: We just updated our Cleaning Biodiversity Data in R book, so you still can! We've updated data for 2025, added new content & fixed lots of silly typos 😀

Looks like a good guide - the general data cleaning part is a lean intro to some very common issues in all sorts of data. Would be great if every phd who touches raw data was offered a short course in these basics (in R or Python or whatever HipsterScript) cleaning-data-r.ala.org.au/2_general-cl...

Just saw a post which misspelled 'Machine learning' as 'Machine earning', and I wondered if that was a Freudian slip.

That is true

A great and informative discussion of peer review. I have too many opinions to go into depth here.

My general solution is to better value, in all senses, both peer and editorial review. If peer review was formally counted as work by an academic that might encourage more engagement.
