Awesome work from Jianwei Zhang’s team- Rice Gene Index (RGI) https://t.co/Db9e5CgMDL

We have a new study online by Zhou et al: Pan-genome inversion index reveals evolutionary insights into the subpopulation structure of Asian rice (Oryza sativa)

1/Data available "on reasonable request" almost always a lie. @gabelica_m @liviapuljak identified 1792 papers which claimed data available "on reasonable request". When asked, authors provided the data for only 7% of these cases. HT @bhaibeka https://t.co/MDBENV8k11

There is no reason for example, for papers to be reviewed only once, or by only one entity. The review process should involve multiple voices and go on for as long as the work is relevant.

[Max Roser @MaxCRoser]

In the UK the number of cases rose rapidly.
But the public – and authorities – are only learning this now because these cases were only published now as a backlog.

The reason was apparently that the database is managed in Excel and the number of columns had reached the maximum.

AI INCEPTION!

I just used GPT-3 to generate code for a machine learning model, just by describing the dataset and required output.

This is the start of no-code AI.

The first release of the gt package (v0.2) is now available in CRAN!
This RStudio blog post (https://t.co/Lgc19tlb8K) explains what the package is all about (making great looking tables) and how to get started. #rstats #gt_tables

I appreciate insurance companies agreeing to waive all copays on Covid19 testing and extending coverage to its treatment, and I hope when this is over we don’t forget that their logic in doing so tacitly admits that their traditional model kills people. https://t.co/d7Dbn9VndO

I think most people aren’t aware of the risk of systemic healthcare failure due to #COVID19 because they simply haven’t run the numbers yet. Let’s talk math. 1/n

"Due to the underlying mechanisms of the post-truth era and social media, these compromised results find their way to the public discourse and continue to be disseminated even when they were, beyond all doubt, proven to be a lie"

It's sad/ironic that this important discussion is behind a paywall.
