Thank you! Wishing you the best in Adelaide!

Thanks Will!

Additionally, using representational similarity analysis (RSA) we found that both the breath of spatial attention and the modality of remembered items reliably predicted some variance in EEG activity. However, a purely item-based measure of storage explained unique and separate variance!

That godawful NYT article on an "unpublished study on puberty blockers" was favorably cited by Thomas (p22, fn9)! Bad reporting can easily construct a narrative that science is "biased" which is then weaponized

And, this is how even "liberal media" like NYT nonstop pushing anti-trans bias (like turning a researcher not wanting to publish a null result with some methodological issues into a controversy) has caused so much harm -- it's all the narrative

Basically saying "you can ignore scientific consensus as long as I can find some made-up evidence of bias." Maybe, just maybe, people who have advanced training in a field actually do know more (this is why overturning Chevron was terrible too)

And this is why musk, Vance etc are so opposed to scientific funding - they see any line of inquiry that doesn't generate profit for themselves as "wasteful." They want it to reinforce their ideology first and then search for truth ... Which is just bad science

It's valuable to distinguish science as a method from science as applied. Obviously the questions asked, methods used, etc are biased as a result of the human element. But those are more a flaw of people instead of science itself

UChicago has ~$108 million in NIH grants. According to most recent F&A rate info I found (2019-20), UChicago has an F&A rate of 62% for on-campus grants, so around $67million in F&A support. If the rate is cut to 15%, that’ll be a loss of $50 million in support. That’s thousands of jobs lost

The problem here was that they jumped to make the diagnosis based just on symptoms when it probably wasn't supported by the evidence. Dr. Pham omitted findings from the pediatrician (expanding head) and neurosurgeon (chronic hematomas) which would have supported another cause

The parents filed a lawsuit against the hospital for refusing to provide medical records from the birth (probably also a HIPAA violation). The hospital says they purged (!!!) the records. Looks like the hospital might be doing shady stuff to cover something up.

I find it pretty useful as a smart autocomplete tool, saves a lot of time as long as you double check. Also use it (I know this is bad) to write comments when too lazy to

Wouldn't use it to write anything critical tho, and wouldn't pay for it

I don't \n\n know why

would you do that?
