I mourn today's vote in Israel. It is a reminder of a tragic lesson of history: great nations are brought down more often by internal decay than external threats.
As 2024 approaches, I hope Americans will heed this lesson and resist the siren song of populist extremism

האם החלטות רופאים מגיבות לפגישות מאתגרות שהם חווים בקליניקה (בדוגמה האמפירית שלנו: ביקור של חולה סרטן)? מצרף שרשור באנגלית על מחקר בנושא.
בקצרה: רופאים שולחים את המטופלים הבאים בתור לבדיקות בהסתברות גבוהה יותר. האפקט זמני (שעה). פרטים נוספים ולינק בשרשור🙏

The limited capacity of primary care physicians is a big deal.

Prices cannot respond to demand fluctuations. Some other feature of the service must adjust instead.

So, what is actually lost when docs have less time to spend with us?

Hive mind I need your help! Need to finally learn R to teach an intro metrics course in it in the fall. What're the best materials to help a Stata user like me (and for my students who will be learning from scratch)? @paulgp @KhoaVuUmn @SeanKHiggins
