生成AIを全く使わずに、研究の歴史的経緯や意義、深い理解と洞察を含めた総説を執筆し、惜しみなく(わざわざ著者がお金を払って)公開することにより、AIにも正しい知識を学んでもらう。研究分野を拓いたパイオニアの責務か、と思う（ちょっとお金がが、、）。

I just published: How do we recognize world-class science? Not by the journal it appeared in

What I told early-career researchers about prediction, rigour, failure, priors — and the tyranny of bar graphs.

Science predicts. Pseudoscience doesn’t.
Twenty-nine years
How to science, and how not to
What’s a failed experiment?
Death by statistics
Ditch the bar graphs
Get credit for all of it

Dismissed Joe Root for his maiden Test wicket. Reached speeds over 90mph. Put his name in the record books with nine sixes in a sensational 81, batting at No. 9.

Welcome to Test cricket, Razaullah. You have most certainly entertained 🤩

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Pathetic batting by Pakistan. So sad to watch given how many great players and teams they’ve produced over the years. This is embarrassing.

[Iceland Cricket @icelandcricket]

A reminder of that time in 2018 when we got a bit excited about making our Test debuts against Pakistan, only to find out that @ICC had said Ireland not Iceland. We were fully ready to go!

New analysis reveals that the flood wave traveled the first 25 km (15 miles) of its catastrophic descent at an average speed of 150 km/h (93 mph), reaching a maximum velocity of 190 km/h (120 mph) at the Nepal–Tibet border.
