OK, everyone, this my last tweet (or are we supposed to say xeet now?) here; I've permanently moved to Mastodon, and I'd be delighted if you joined me here: https://t.co/Le9NiEIRAS

Not much happening on #deprescribing there at the moment, but You can change that!

See you there!

I’m sorry, I simply cannot be cynical about a technology that can accomplish this.

[Damien Cateau @TheDamienDaily]

@lucasmorin_eolc That's related to the question I was asking myself: what's the minimum clinically relevant change on this scale?

I'm excited to share our ongoing work describing the dessert diversity at the canteen @institutpasteur ! 🧁

This study included extensive sampling of 102 independent samples over 3 years. Here's a 🧵 of our key findings. 1/7

Did Twitter Blue tweet just cost Eli Lilly $LLY billions?

Yes.

The extreme warmth in October really is quite shocking when you zoom out.

🔴 = warmer than average

@lucasmorin_eolc Tu l'as déjà fait? Jamais tenté ce genre de truc dans la neige; tu prends quel genre de godasses?

Look at Elmo managing Twitter.

Now imagine living on Mars and he controls your air.

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects.

I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars.

Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy."

We need to publish less, publish better, retract agressively articles that have been shown to include manipulated data (images or otherwise), and investigate thouroughly authors engaged in these manipulations.

If you have any interest, however remote, in science and or integrity (preferably both), go read this piece by @MicrobiomDigest.

Science Has a Nasty Photoshopping Problem
* Unfortunately, many scientific journals and academic institutions are slow to respond to evidence of image manipulation — if they take action at all.

It is not something I have personally been confronted to (and I doubt I ever will, given my field), but it is a perfect illustration of all the perverse incentives all scientific actors face, from researchers to universities and journals.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The Battle of Bamber Bridge, 1943.

Racist US military police attacked black US troops on British soil.

US military authorities demanded the town’s pubs impose a colour bar, the local landlords responded with signs that read “Black Troops Only” which pissed them off.

All across the country, local governments are restricting and banning clean energy projects.

I heard rumors that misinformation on Facebook was a major cause of this.

So I joined ~40 anti-wind and solar groups to see some of it for myself.

The results were bleak.
