Department strategy? We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all professors are created equal, that they are endowed by their Head of Department with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Teaching, Research and the pursuit of Organizational Responsibilities.

Idag är veterandagen! 1993-95 tillbringade jag min tid med att tjänstgöra på BA01 och BA03. Att som ung människa fått tjänstgöra formade mig till den jag är idag; på gott och ont 😂 forsvarsmakten.se/aktuellt/e…

Jag kommer ihåg att hon inte vill använda ordet ”invasion” när ryssarna anföll och att dom tvekade om NATO när nationens säkerhet stod på spel. Aldrig tyckt om människor som försöker ta cred från andra.
I strongly welcome that JAS Gripen fighter jets will finally be delivered to Ukraine. We Social Democrats have wanted to see this happen for a long time - now it becomes reality. JAS Gripen will be a strong addition to Ukraine’s fight for freedom. Slava Ukraini! @ZelenskyyUa🇺🇦🇸🇪

Xiao-Li Meng, the statistician who made us rethink what "big data" actually means, is keynoting Principled Statistics in the Age of AI on June 5th at Chalmers Johanneberg Campus. Great talks. Real statistical rigour. The questions AI can't handwave away. 📅 June 5 | 🔗 jameshbailie.github.io/PSAI2… #Statistics #AI #MachineLearning

You don’t need to be into metal to get chills from this 🖤 Nothing Else Matters stripped down to raw emotion on piano by Margarita Sipatova. Still gives me goosebumps every time.

It is crazy how few people know this: Russia now occupies less Ukrainian land than it did one month into the full-scale invasion four years ago

Happy to see Sweden get to the world cup. Disgrace that fans behave the way they did during the Polish anthem. Of course, the poles were better, but that’s not what football is about.

I'm hiring a post-doc for the Healthy AI Lab 📣. Come join us to work on machine learning to improve decision-making, e.g., in health applications. If you can't stop thinking about research problems until you make progress, you may be the right fit! chalmers.se/en/about-chalmer…

Russia’s war around Iran may provide only a temporary reprieve through higher oil prices but it cannot fix its deep economic problems - for higher oil revenues to meaningfully support the budget, prices would have to remain extremely high almost all year, which is unlikely 🧵

The number of cancer deaths worldwide has more than doubled since the 1980s. Does that mean we're losing the fight against cancer? Not necessarily, because it depends on how you measure it. On this chart, you can see three ways to look at the same data. The red line shows the total number of cancer deaths. It has increased by about 120%, but this measure doesn't account for the fact that the world's population has also grown enormously over this period. Another approach is to look at the death rate: the number of cancer deaths divided by the total population. That's the brown line, called the crude cancer death rate. It has increased too, but much less — around 20%. But there's still a problem: the world's population has been getting older. Cancer is mostly a disease of old age, so even per capita, we'd expect more cancer deaths simply because there are more older people than before. That's where the method of “age standardization” comes in. It's a way of asking: what would the cancer death rate look like if the age structure of the population hadn't changed? The blue line shows this age-standardized rate: it's fallen by about 25%. At any given age, people are now less likely to die of cancer than they were in the 1980s. The same underlying data gives us three different pictures. The absolute number of deaths is up; the crude rate is up slightly; the age-standardized rate is down. None of these are inaccurate, but they answer different questions. Age standardization is one of the most important statistical methods for making sense of health data. Without it, population aging can hide progress or mask problems.

Trägen vinner! Nästa år får medlemmar i facket rätt att säga nej till att medlemsavgifter slussas till politiska partier. LO-förbunden kan inte längre blåsa sin medlemsbas och tvinga dem att stödja S. Steg för steg blir Sverige en mer normal demokrati. di.se/debatt/nytt-lagforslag…
