Pretending that science ISN’T political is frankly pretty naive.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

This is an interesting admission that public health has become a political movement more than a field based on medicine or science per se.

I’ve had this idea for a while to use LTSM as a way to model random effects in NNs so I’m tweeting this as a way actually try this out over break

My favorite part of being in LA the last several days is telling people I’m from WI and their reaction like I’m from a foreign country

I recently published an invited perspective (https://t.co/QcCQG2zjiy) where I argued that it is time to move beyond describing racial disparities in air pollution and focus on eliminating them. A wonderful new study by Wang and colleagues did just that. https://t.co/A5URUlm5eh

What?!

—> gas leakage from stoves/ovens **while not in use** can lead to indoor benzene comparable to secondhand cig smoke
—> estimated benzene emissions **currently not included in any statewide inventories** = emissions from ~60,000 light-duty cars https://t.co/5EJatTwavt

Been using a postdoc desk for ~1.5 years bc I was one of the only people working on a floor and original desks assigned didn’t have power. Fast forward to now and was forced to move to original grad student desk and it still doesn’t have power after over a year of complaints!!!

Been on a dirty chai kick recently (1 or 2 a week) and every time I order one the barista looks surprised?

xgboost feels so much worse (mostly messier having to convert between df for visualization and sparse matrix for model input/prediction) to implement in R compared to the randomForest package
