My journey through life seems so trivial compared to the million year journey of a photon leaving the center of the sun.

its true, CPR is hard hard work. Its both physically and emotionally exhasuting and sometimes you have to do it for 20-30 minutes and then go back to taking care of patients like you didnt just watch someone die and family lose a member.
first time I ever did cpr as a med student I remember thinking in my head THIS IS WAY HARDER IN REAL LIFE THAN ON A MANNEQUIN WHY AM I SWEATING SO MUCH STAYIN ALIVE STAYIN ALIVE AH AH AH AH

Isaac Newton has verified his email on Google Scholar. And has recently picked up a professorship at MIT. Good for him.

Fun fact: Instead of saying "factorial" you can scream the answer and it means the same thing. Example: 26! = "26 factorial" = "TWENTY SIX"

Enjoying the fruits of my labor now that I finished my 12-legged 'Carpentopod' table project. See decarpentier.nl/carpentopod for project info, or see it live at @EHVMMF this 13 & 14 Sept.

useful thread
Since Jill Stein only shows up every 4 years I wanted to quickly remind everyone, not just of this photo, but how notoriously difficult to it is to have access to war criminal Vladimir Putin, let alone *a seat at a table with him*. Backing Jill Stein is willful ignorance.

stats and causal inference is broken? that is news to me. all you need is 3 hours and all will be clear!
Stats is broken. Causal inference is broken. Together they are less broken. I will teach a 3h online course in September, aimed at ppl who have tried to understand connections btw causal inference & statistical inference but were discouraged by notation & puffery. @StatHorizons

Great to hear about causal inference methods to estimate per-protocol effects in randomised trials from @Tfeend Traditional methods used in trials cause bias but methods of observational research can permit causal interpretations #SER2024 @societyforepi

I wish people complaining about JAMA not allowing causal language would instead complain about the lack of QBA and earnest sensitivity analyses. The allowed language really isn't the point.
NEW PAPER It's not all about residual confounding. Hopefully this paper gives a little pushback to discussion sections that only mention uncontrolled residual confounding as a potential limitation of the study and some suggestions to improve analyses academic.oup.com/aje/advance…
