@DrJimFan Does “drawn to scale” refer to the radius or the area of the circles?

@Zennom8 @duolingo Same here. What’s happening @duolingo ??

@annemscheel In General my feeling is that a lot of info from methods (and results) sections could be communicated much more clearly in something other than free text. The idea of papers being written in free text is deeply ingrained in our minds, but maybe not always best

@jgault13 I like that prediction 😂

@NicoleCRust Can I only find people from different servers when I know their full handle?

@Barbarabarbaber I’m getting myself even more confused this year: I’m currently in India, which doesn’t do DST. So when I came here, it was 3.5h time difference, but when i travel back to Germany in a week, it’ll be 4.5 h time difference.

@TonyZador Must have been such a great time when science was all about science, rather than about impact factors, h-indices, citation counts, etc 🥺

@iownabook @dlv_online Only the 8pm news are holy 😉😅

@briancurran50 @jgault13 Depends on what country you mean 😅 I’m not American. But I have the impression that track runners who transition to marathons later have better longevity. Positive examples: Kipchoge, Bekele. Negative examples: Kimetto, Ryan Hall. Very small sample size though

@Diamond_League @MeetingHerculis @realshellyannfp @JakeSWightman @LylesNoah @yulimarrojas45 Why would you schedule a T&F meet in Europe 5 days before the European championships? Almost exclusively American and African athletes, which means everybody has to fly. Not very environmentally friendly. Could have switched Monaco and Eugene meets.

@KordingLab It’s not a one-dimensional question. Suggesting that it is (like the question does) doesn’t help anyone. Both have pros and cons. And “It’s ok. I guess.” doesn’t really cover that.

@cvicenciosch @LondonMarathon @KenenisaBekele @Mo_Farah @nycmarathon He's doing Berlin again :( Would have loved to see him in NYC (and Boston next year)

[Benedict Wild @BenedictWild]

@LondonMarathon @KenenisaBekele @Mo_Farah Predict that Bekele will DNS and Mo will DNF. Way more excited about Legese, Geremew, Abdi, and Tola

@zonkerh @jgault13 For 3000m indoors, but she was first for 3000m SC outdoors in 2018

[Benedict Wild @BenedictWild]

@EliudKipchoge @NNRunningTeam @INEOSGrenadiers @GlobalSportsCom Awesome. When can we see you at the Tour de France? 😅

[Benedict Wild @BenedictWild]

@BenediktEhinger Yes, that leads down a whole different rabbit’s hole on everything that is wrong with the publishing and peer-review system in general 😅 It’s just so frustrating. As I’ve come to say: I miss science terribly, but I’m so glad to be out of academia 😢

[Benedict Wild @BenedictWild]

Got my first reviewing request since leaving academia yesterday. I sent a polite response, asking what the financial compensation for my time investment would be. I don't think I will receive any more requests from that journal 😅 (1/5)
