Lovely post by Darren Dahly on not being a 'real' statistician, but the importance of 'applied' statisticians, and why we need more of them: https://statsepi.substack.com/p/im-not-a-real-statistician-and-you. As a 20% statistician myself, I could not agree more!

Mondrian Crescent
I love it when train doors align at the end of a tunnel. The red tiles at Green Park station make this the ideal location to capture this moment.
It wasn't luck though, instead I froze the moving train with a fast shutter. It took ages to get it centred.
This final image resembles an abstract art painting by Piet Mondrian.

"When Zhengzhou started registering Covid-19 infections in mid-October, Foxconn put its plant under “closed loop” management, barring staff from leaving the site. But as infections started spreading inside the factory town, many workers fled the campus."

Grevy's #zebra is an #endangered species, with only around 2800 individuals left in the wild - so we were very lucky to spot this foal on one of our #CameraTraps.

"Nothing has set back China’s preparations as extensively as its difficulty in vaccinating older people. Two-thirds of people ages 80 and older are vaccinated, but only 40 percent have received a booster dose, a critical shortcoming because Chinese-made vaccines offer weaker protection than the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines."

"In 2006 the American Library Association issued a button to its members. It read, “radical, militant librarian.” We should have taken the message at its word. The American library, until recently a refuge of neutral quietude, has become a booming battleground in the culture wars."

How big is the #compchem community around here? Prof Núria López at ICIQ is looking for #postdocs in sunny Tarragona. The group is really great, and the salary is quite competitive. More info: https://www.iciq.org/jobs-grants/position/project-researcher-ref-project-researcher-2022-35-nl/
Also, if you're curious about the research life and the chemistry community in Tarragona, I wrote about it a bit ago: https://www.chemistryworld.com/careers/fancy-a-job-in-tarragona-spain/2500271.article
Meanwhile at the other place:
"Twitter has proved a cherished forum for climate scientists to share research, as well as for activists seeking to rally action to halt oil pipelines or decry politicians’ failure to cut pollution. But many are now fleeing Twitter due to a surge in climate misinformation, spam and even threats that have upended their relationship with the platform."

This is just appalling. Another facet of being malnourished, starving and sleep deprived is that it massively impacts immune function and can cause immunodeficiency- givenwe are a in a tripledemic of RSV, flu and covid- this will not help these children either. Awful news. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/dec/02/school-leaders-report-rise-in-pupils-not-on-free-meals-going-hungry?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
"From the title of Heather Radke’s new book “Butts: A Backstory,” and its cover image of a ripe, callipygian peach, one might expect a book of provocative photos, or perhaps a chronicle of a personal fetish. But “Butts” is in fact a carefully researched and reported work of cultural history."

#Drosophila #Advent Day1: A close relative of D. melanogaster, D. simulans is both similar & different … https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-94-007-0965-2. A member of the melanogaster subgroup, Dsim probably evolved in #Madagascar but went unnoticed until it was a global commensal—being mistaken for its more famous sibling in the lab https://academic.oup.com/genetics/article/177/4/1969/6064435. Dsim is rarer in the UK (I’ve only caught them 3 times), and unlike Dmel, they are not keen on coming indoors https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/pjab1945/52/4/52_4_191/_article #NaturalHistory #Entomology
