Dear @SwedenAmbPK , Pak Team for @iypt has been trying to secure visa for Sweden to compete. Issuing visas to five 17-yr olds to compete at an elite Physics competition for high-schoolers shouldn't be complicated or hard.

Can you please help so the team can participate?

@sabizak Good for you! I seem to have lost my tw-oice.

on #Palestine: people defend israel saying it's reparations to Jewish people for the Holocaust — and yes like I will not hear debate on if reparations were needed for the Holocaust, obviously reparations couldn't even begin to address the horror — BUT (1/?)

[Sabahat Zakariya @sabizak]

Detailed explainer on the Israel-Palestine issue. Hard to find ‘objective’ accounts on conflicts this divisive. Appreciate the hard work put into accounts like these: https://t.co/CHnzvzeugm

Are vaccines harmful or helpful for #longcovid?

@gushamilton and team asked through observational study of COVID patients post discharge - 82% with long lasting symptoms (>8 months). Symptoms compared 1 month post vaccination to the unvaccinated.🧵 (1/)

There was a totally overlooked trial in @NEJM this week with jaw-dropping results. The question: how should we diagnose diabetes in pregnancy?

23,792 pregnant women randomized to receive either 1-step or 2-step screening for gestational diabetes.

It's Presidents Day in the US and once upon a time I read a biography of every single US president so I may as well make use of that useless knowledge. Here is a thread of the wildest tweet-sized fact I know about each president:

Hilarious! Hey @DGlaucomflecken do you want to bring your ophthalmoscope to this one?

Statistical terms: what they really mean

Multicolinearity— they all look the same
Heteroscedasticity— the variation varies
Attenuation— being too modest
Overfitting— too good to be true
Confounding— nothing is what it seems
P-value— it’s complicated

“While the coronavirus has surged, the flu and other respiratory viruses have flickered out...On the virological scoreboard, the only pathogen that’s truly had a good year is the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2.”

[Katherine J. Wu, Ph.D. @KatherineJWu]

In our attempt to contain one virus, we silenced several others. I wrote about this year's bizarre flu season—our quietest in years—and what it could mean for our future. 1/4
