New study by Alissa Trzeciak in The Perry Lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social is out! The best way to explain the journey is if I compared it to the Director's Cut of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Let's just say, it wasn't submitted in March 2025.

'Bob’s true test of a perfectly structured presentation was that the speaker should be able to ditch the PowerPoint slides and successfully deliver the same message using only the blackboard (...) most talks would indeed be better when boiled down to the bare basics: chalk board, presenter, ideas.'

Probabilities are indeed a strange concept. I like to think of them as a confidence level of something happening, or how much of my own money would I stake on them being true (or in the case of an experiment, repeating the same result). www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Why probability probably doesn’t exist (but it is useful to act like it does)
All of statistics and much of science depends on probability — an astonishing achievement, considering no one’s really sure what it is.
