They just killed NHANES.
Every US public health student learns about this study.
It’s given us all sorts of important knowledge about the health of Americans and they just ended it.

People using AI and dumping code at breakneck pace and I'm stuck reviewing it for inconsistencies. What happened to understanding the system? I'm not against AI as I use it myself but dumping unreviewed generated code onto peers is not the way. Maybe I'm too old. 100 LoC and 3 easy to catch issues.

I *really* want more reporting on this because the book was pretty heavily vetted by lawyers in advance of publication….
This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.
In other news Charlie Redmayne, the long serving CEO of HC in the UK, resigned yesterday.

This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs aren’t laws, the federal government doesn’t manage voting in this way, and it’s all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesn’t provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.
