@StevenSalzberg1 People do not read OLD literature. At end of day science is scholarship but that is becoming less recognized.

Two massive earthquakes have struck the southeastern part of Türkiye and were felt in multiple countries. Please help us raise funds for those affected by the earthquake. Thank you for your help.

Reviewing for @MDPIOpenAccess is a waste of time and a corruption of the scientific peer review process. Yesterday I sent back a second major revision, frustrated that the authors had ignored many of my comments. Today, paper is accepted. What a farce.

A short Python program to estimate π:

import random

def estimate_pi(n):
m = 0
for i in range(n):
x = random.uniform(0, 1)
y = random.uniform(0, 1)
if x*x + y*y <= 1:
m += 1
return 4 * m / n

Recently, a study came out where 71 research teams independently analyzed the same data, all trying to test the same hypothesis. About 58% of the teams found no effect, 17% found a positive effect, and 25% a negative effect.

But that's not even the oddest part…

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony.

However, eating too much pie is ok because the Sin of Pi is 0.

My boss has threatened to fire the employee with the worst posture.

I have a hunch, it might be me.
