“There’s no conclusive evidence Ed tech harmed learning” (ignoring a few metaanalyses) - Matt Barnum this week “There’s no proof passages are worse than books in ELA curriculum” (even though that’s BS and I can use kindergarten math to prove it) – Tim Shanahan and too many journalists not questioning him on it “With smaller effect sizes than we’d like to see, we shouldn’t jump to knowledge-building curriculum” (even though the alternative curricula have zero studies at all and small effect size is greater than zero) – where do I even start on this……..
Remember Wonders, the book-free ELA curriculum? I've been working through an analysis of word exposure for grade 6 students, comparing Wonders to a representative curriculum in the "book-rich and knowledge-building" category. Guess how it's trending?

You missed the multiple metaanalyses, clearly, that established no change in cardiovascular or overall mortality of reducing saturated fat intake.

Alleen het feit dat niet gespecificeerd wordt welk type masker, maakt dit soort sowieso al twijfelachtige "metaanalyses" vrij nietszeggend.

"1) No truly professional scientist uses that word ever." Using "Ever or never" means you're bound to be wrong...and you are. But it *is* used sparingly. Mostly in hard sciences like molecular biology/physics where variables are tightly controlled, or metaanalyses.

Cochrane: Masks don't work. Antivaxxers: masks don't work, Cochrane said so. What? YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT COCHRANE AND HOW IT'S THE GOLD STANDARD IN METAANALYSES? Cochrane: HPV vax saves lives. Antivaxxers: Cochrane fraudulent study
Fraudulent Cochrane press release: “Two new Cochrane reviews show strong and consistent evidence that HPV vaccines are effective in preventing cervical cancer” bit.ly/3MfxHhR. One had no cancer cases; the other reviewed studies at “high risk of bias.” Shame on Cochrane!

Aucun avantage environnemental (rdts < de 30 à 50%), nutritionnel (différences non significatives), risque sanitaire accru (6x bacteries, virus, mycotoxines). démontré dans plusieurs metaanalyses tous les 3 ans depuis 2003. Et cerise sur le gâteau, prix élevés

And you are a medical doctor? You should be deregistered for this sort of rubbish. Do you read metaanalyses on PubMed in reputable journals? Do you actually understand them? They say repeatedly the opposite of what you are claiming.

The sad thing is that there is so much of this hormone thing, that one can run metaanalyses. 😭😭😭😭

metaanalyses show a plateau in benefits at moderate consumption levels. even your chart is showing benefits decreasing again as consumption increases past "4-5 cups." and that's coffee, btw, not energy drinks

I don't trust Indian science regarding ajurvedic substances. All metaanalyses conclude with the diplomatic statement, that previous curcuma studies are low quality (which means junk, to say it plainly)

"Research" shows this. I would love to see metaanalyses of people who attend church put side by side with people who attend therapy. I bet they'd get the same outcomes.

2/ e.g Research by Michael Lambert’s et al (based on dozens of metaanalyses) breaks down the influence of different factors on good therapy outcomes: 40%: Client factors & life circumstances 30%: Therapeutic relationship 15%: Expectancy/placebo effects 15%: Technique or method

How to stop being afraid, make phobias (like fear of people) and worries go away, become boring? People of any color, gender or group are just people. Every person is a person Same way you don’t consider each white male a clone of all other white males, it makes no sense to consider a person as a group: Each person is an individual Each person is a history of choices (mostly the “choices” forced on them, not chosen by them: the color, the gender is one of those). Each person is a list of thoughts with about 10 core ones that color everything they do or feel. Like a constitution, like a system prompt or like the lines of “HumanScript ” code. Judging people by the color of their skin is like judging computers by the color of their packaging - gives you zero information, except prejudice and bias that you are often 100% certain about for some reason (that reason is usually unneeded rushing caused by worry or fear). Prejudice against people of color, women, etc is just a phobia like any others - like being afraid of heights or elevators - the best anti-phobia therapy according to meta analyses is exposure therapy - First look at photos of people of color or women if you’re afraid of women, etc, when you’ll stop being afraid of those photos, they’ll become boring, go look at them from a distance for 5 minutes without running away (it’s important to do it slow, if you run away you’ll have to start from scratch), ultimately shake hands or even find a friend of color/woman/etc and your phobia will go away, it’ll become boring, you can even forget you were ever afraid. (Some children are afraid of everything, especially if the child never plays outside - no exposure) Of course people of any color, gender or group can be bad - there are about 1% of people in any group who are not very kind, the same with white people - about 1% are not very kind - someone with phobia can imagine that every white person - 100% of us - is a Hitler but it’s ridiculous. Most people - 50% - in any group are good, if you think otherwise it’s a classic symptom of anxiety (the phobia of the future events that often never happen). The most important 3 thoughts to not feel depressed are the following: You’re good, most people are good and futures will be or we’ll make futures awesome! The best book against worries according to meta analyses is Worry Workbook by Beck - it’s enough if the worries are mild, according to Beck, otherwise get a doc, too. Beck basically created and perfected modern psychology, many people read mere pale secondhand imitations of his original source materials, read from the primary source himself! ;-) #secularNirvana #chillUTO #cognitivePsy #metaAnalyses

I blame the human condition because humans are the ones who carry out metaanalyses. Maybe at some point AI can do it. Agreed about the incentive structures. More skeptical about the public education part. The point remains that at present the incentive structures dont exist to make many metaanalyses that are published trustworthy especially those authored by those with COIs. I guess I agree that theoretically metaanalysis would be a trustworthy tool when don’t right- I just don’t see much evidence that it is especially when commercial incentives come into play.
