@EvanHub This is the future I think is both more worrisome (because we’d be around to experience it) and more likely. And I think THAT is terrifying.

[Adrienne M Propp @adrienne_propp]

@EvanHub Even if it doesn’t “kill us all”, will it bring us to a future that is ACTUALLY better for the majority of people? What is going to happen to the fabric of society? How will our institutions adapt when fraud and theft are rampant, truth is elusive, and nobody knows how to read?

The lab I’ve been collaborating with this year is running an experiment on charitable giving to better understand how donors make decisions. Take a look as you’re making your gifts this year!

Excited to report @united airlines has found a way to turn back time! Either that or a clever way to avoid issuing travel vouchers.

Great thread sharing important new results on the efficacy of vaccination and prior infection, independently and together, against the new COVID variants

[Céline Gounder, MD, ScM, FIDSA 🇺🇦 @celinegounder]

1/ New data in the last day on how well natural immunity and vaccine-induced immunity protect us against the Delta variant.

Here's the take-home message:
2 doses of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine will protect you,
even against the Delta variant.

@ashecon Thanks for a great conference! Will recordings of the sessions be available at any point?

[Adrienne M Propp @adrienne_propp]

Had a great time presenting on dynamic modeling for health care expenditures at @ashecon today! Thanks @kandicekapinos for organizing a great session.

[Adrienne M Propp @adrienne_propp]

@AndrewYNg I like this idea. Most of the models I’ve worked on have been constrained by and thus designed around the limits of available datasets. That said, I’m no data expert, but I imagine high quality data collection may often be much more challenging and labor intensive than coding.

Inspiring story about how Linsey Marr, an aerosol physicist, and Katie Randall, a forensics graduate student, helped the medical community overcome a deeply entrenched misunderstanding of how pathogens move through the air. https://t.co/IPN2Z3EsIt

@kandicekapinos That first one looks vaguely familiar... 😂

COVID-19 has added more stress to an already high-stress profession: the American public school teacher.

Tune in on March 11 to hear about methodology, data, and future research opportunities from the #TALISVideoStudy and #GlobalTeachingInsights.

[AERA @AERA_EdResearch]

AERA and @OECDEduSkills will hold an interactive forum on March 11, 9:30-11:30 am ET to discuss research opportunities and lessons learned from the Global Teaching InSights Video Study. Learn more: https://t.co/F5SpW3ohhv #GlobalTeachingInSights

[Adrienne M Propp @adrienne_propp]

@leilayasmeen Definitely agree. It also increases the need for heightened privacy measures, as the reporting of confidence or uncertainty info can introduce vulnerability to AI inversion attacks (e.g. https://t.co/QqUqSxTqbE)

Other advice for 2nd years: for paper presentations, make sure you use Mathpix Snip. It lets you screenshot equations and then automatically produces the underlying LaTeX code for that equation. This literally saved me dozens of hours in my 2nd year.

Having grown up in FL, I’ve seen many major hurricanes-but never were the stakes for evacuation this high. I’m excited to share some work we did this past fall, exploring how sheltering and evacuation in the event of a major hurricane could have impacted COVID-19 spread.

I bet you were wondering...is there some new research out on Mathematics and Public Policy that fall in the areas of #cybersecurity and #ClimateChange?
Well, voilà! @RANDCorporation https://t.co/nxn3WAxyRH

We asked 700 epidemiologists which daily activities they had resumed. The answer: not many. https://t.co/sw0Ewy7SqI
