I had so much fun! Thanks for setting this up!

Excited (+nervous) to try something new today: live streaming pair programming in #rstats w/ my student @EvanDragich

Tune in and code along as we explore the Doctors of Dr. Who (supplied by #TidyTuesday)

@HatchRichard @TulaneOwen @Faulkn3rd teach me about tax fraud king!!!!!

[Daniel Buck, “Youngest Old Man in Ed Reform” @MrDanielBuck]

Restorative justice!

Where bullies can get away with anything, all behavioral expectations are problematized, good kids lose out on an education, fence sitters follow the crowd, and once good schools descend into chaos.

Hooray education fads! Very learning, much engaging!

turns out Michigan is a lot harder to get into than your teammate’s girlfriend

When you check your Poisson regression for overdispersion and have to switch to a Quasi-Poisson 🙃

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Addiction to cortisol can look like:
- chronic patterns of high level conflict in relationships
- never being able to sit still (always going)
- over scheduling yourself
- finding yourself in 'drama' regularly
- lack of boundaries

[Prof Francois Balloux @BallouxFrancois]

It just happens that in the real world, for some reason, far more likely linked to human behaviour than physics, masks and respirators as worn in the community are largely ineffective at reducing viral transmission.

[Prof Francois Balloux @BallouxFrancois]

At this stage, there is no robust evidence for face masks reducing transmission of respiratory viruses in the community of the type we do have for the effectiveness of seatbelts, crash helmets or smoking cessation.

Many of us learned from a young age that being liked or approved of us is more important than our own limits and boundaries.

MASK MANDATES: Good summary
@LizHighleyman/@Slate Cochrane review. Bottom line: Maybe work at individual level, doesn't meet level of evidence at population level (need more studies) to mandate even in healthcare: "maybe let people decide for themselves"

[Alasdair Munro @apsmunro]

Claiming RCTs of masks are invalid because people don’t wear them properly is utterly upside down

This isn’t what invalidates RCTs - it’s what invalidates the lab studies

If your intervention falls apart when subjected to its end user, that’s what counts

Not mannequins

"The CDC found 45 pct of high school students were so persistently sad or hopeless in 2021 they were unable to engage in regular activities. Almost 1 in 5 seriously considered suicide and 9 pct surveyed tried to take their lives during previous 12 months."

@redditships This is an interesting example of how people react to the concept of emotional labor. The relationship is good and works, but social conditioning says it's somehow an insult to frame relational compatibility as a result of conscious effort rather than magic warm fuzzies.

[Alyssa Lopez @lysslopezz]

Imagine being so salty about getting eliminated from a competition show that you chose to use your exit interviews to bash other women’s” intelligence and looks. I can’t relate. I’d explain my thought process during my exit interviews, but I don’t have any scheduled this early🥱

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Really? This was one of the most predictable policy mistakes of all time.

Can you swap the positions of the black and white knights? Seems hard, right? A new perspective makes it almost trivial! 1/n

This one is still blowing my mind

[Chris Prener @chrisprener]

Two weeks into my industry job. Biggest surprise - how easy scheduling meetings is. People check your calendar and book time. You decline or propose a new time if necessary. No doodles. No endless email chains. No back and forth. It’s amazing.

[Dani Donovan 👩🏻‍🎨 ADHD Comics @danidonovan]

Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult feels like being told you suck at Mario Kart your whole life and then finding out your game generates 40 times more banana peels than it's supposed to
