I've updated my list of "The ten best books for thinking clearly about statistics".
It's now eleven, but aspiring clear thinkers won't mind that.
Spread the word!

Great popular science article on #supergenes and #inversion #evolution in @QuantaMagazine . Definitely where i will point my family to next time they give me a blank stare when I try to explain my research! https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-supergenes-fuel-evolution-despite-harmful-mutations-20221108/

Jeremy Harding on the late #BrunoLatour @lrb on
"From the start, he saw the laboratory as a space with a history and a social context, rather than a hermetic capsule where scientific truth could bring itself into existence: ‘hard’ science was no different in the end from any other intellectual activity. Over and above the business of growing cell cultures and isolating molecules, ‘the main objective of their activity’, the lab workers told him, was the publication of scientific papers. Latour ploughed his way through these ‘inscriptions’ only to find that the ‘facts’ themselves were better described as ‘claims’, while the statements of fact were more like statements endowed with ‘fact-like status’."

"The Library of Congress acquired a hundred and forty-six volumes of my diaries, which I’ve been keeping since the early nineteen-seventies. Before I handed over the mostly black-and-red notebooks in which I have chronicled my life, I scanned and downloaded the pages onto a thumb drive. The extracts below, which date from 1985 to 1988, offer glimpses of a young man trying to find his footing as a writer. They also offer a snapshot of a city in the grip of aids. Before moving into the apartment, I had had an affair with a young classicist named Thomas Curley (Tommy). He died of aids, at thirty-one, in October, 1984."

#science #devbio #devbiol #stemcells If you set up a Mastodon account (any server is fine and broadly visible there) please add the address to your twitter profile (mine: @kkroll). Then everyone can use the debirdify app to gather followers/followed from Twitter and import them/connect with them on Mastodon with a couple of clicks!

Here's my story about the new record for ancient DNA: an entire ecosystem at least two million years old--a forest home to mastodons, not far from the North Pole. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/07/science/oldest-dna-greenland-species.html

Sure is looking like the #Ebola outbreak in Uganda has been brought under control — unless there's a transmission chain authorities have missed.

As @sciencecohen reported this week, hard to see how the Ebola Sudan vaccines get tested now.

Someone tell Captain Louis in Casablanca (you'll find him at Rick's more easily than at the office).
He'll be shocked. Shocked.
'Data and code sharing in oncology occurs infrequently, and at a lower rate than would be expected given the prevalence of mandatory sharing policies. There is also a large gap between those declaring data to be available, and those archiving data in a way that facilitates its reuse.'

"The therapy, called Hemgenix, gained US approval from the Food and Drug Administration on November 22 to treat patients with severe #hemophilia B. Shortly after its approval, CSL Behring, the pharmaceutical company commercializing the drug, announced its price: $3.5 million for a one-time dose. It’s now the most expensive drug in the world."

'Mastodon recently added the ability to edit posts, which has been very advantageous for me, as a typo-prone individual. For Twitter, that feature is still locked behind a subscription. But even before editing was available on Mastodon, there was an option to “Delete and redraft”, which I used frequently to re-post when I had forgotten an image description, or to fix a typo. Mastodon has long provided far more options to control who can see a post and how, which is why I felt more incentive to be creative there than on Twitter.'

Germany arrested 25 people suspected of planning to overthrow the government, the federal prosecutor said. Many have military training and are suspected of belonging to a domestic terrorist group that believes the country is ruled by a “deep state.” https://nyti.ms/3HfUtSc

#OpenAccess journals, please take heed.
New study: "Using a random sample of 300 English language open access journals, we assessed author guidelines to understand image requirements for submissions…We found that most open access journals do not include disability accessibility elements in their guidelines…While over half the journals had required parameters for image submission, none of them required alt text."
