Since I posted this talk, I've received several sincere notes from ppl who gave up on careers in academia out of frustration with sloppiness of research. Don't know how widespread it is, but this is not the kind of selection effect we want, driving out conscientious scholars. >>

ICON lab member @_ficus has plans to save Melbourne's word class restaurant and pub scene during pandemic: take over the streets and create parklets. Wonder if there could be any urban biodiversity benefits🤔? Featured in the @theage theage.com.au/national/victo…

I am just wondering if there is any R package that supports in confounder identification using change in estimate criteria and backward deletion. With a number of variables, removing variable one at a time process tends to take forever.. Any help #rstats #epidemiology #rladies

Nepal's forest cover expanded from 26% in 1992 to 45% in 2016, making it an exception to the global trend of deforestation. One key reason why is the exodus of millions of Nepalis every year for jobs abroad, which has reduced reliance on the land. e360.yale.edu/features/in-ne…
