What’s a horror story in two words in your industry? Mine is “change order.”
Oxford Professor of Evidence Based Medicine completely confused about the basic function of masks: protecting *others* (just one of multiple scientific errors in his article). spectator.co.uk/article/do-m… via @spectator

.@rebexxxxa Hi, read your recent MRA piece w interest. Seems to take a tribal rather than principled approach. No problem w that. But then you castigate your opponents for... taking a tribal rather than principled approach :-/ Surely better criticisms if as course as you claim?

Deep knowledge of any discipline will allow you to notice the grotesque errors that are commonplace in press coverage. This brings about the disturbing realization that this must be just as true for areas you know nothing about. Specific expertise cultivates general skepticism.

New paper out! Making money in poker should also make you more predictable, but poker sharks get their cake and eat it too. How? They literally use their cards to encrypt their thinking. In Cognitive Science: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… With sharky @Probablyist and Paul Williams

My new paper with Seth Frey @enfascination and Paul Williams is out today! :) Thanks to @ColeStoryMining for helping me spread the word x.com/ColeStoryMining/status…

Trying to perfect your poker face? Try working on your poker brain, say researchers @Probablyist @enfascination. Dominic Albino was at the tables for three years so he knows a bit about the subject. @WSOP #pokeronline today.uconn.edu/2018/06/poke…

Breaking news: Based on his negotiation skills Trump has been hired as GM of the Warriors. He already traded Curry and Durant to the Celtics for three leprechauns and a promise that the Warriors would no longer hold practices.

My research showing how poker experts protect themselves by using encryption to take advantage of uncertainty appears in Cognitive Science (@cogsci_soc) next week! Just in time for the @WSOP! Co-authored with @enfascination x.com/ColeStoryMining/status…

Researchers studied more than 35,000 individuals playing millions of Texas Hold'em poker hands online for insight into how people process information. Findings will be in Cognitive Science. @cogsci_soc @UConnResearch @IndianaUniv @ucdavis @WSOP @PokerNews #pokeronline
