What about @Martina who's won it 9 times? 💪🏼👏🤷‍♀️

@jayrosen_nyu Second. Well, third, really. But yeah.

I agree with Dan.

I don’t come here often, but feel I must celebrate and spread this well-deserved and long overdue gutting of Malcolm Gladwell. Brilliant, ebullient knife work and wordplay by @AnandWrites. Carry on! nytimes.com/2024/09/29/boo…

nytimes.com/2024/09/01/bus… via @NYTimes. Someone tell again how we have the best medical system on earth. I can’t even.

@raford3 They got all of that one!

A fan gave me a friendship bracelet today. Wearing it during tonight’s broadcast.

@drvolts "I bet I can. Definitely. I KNOW it: I can land a columnist git at the Times. "

Name a single original, insightful thing this man has ever said.

@TraceyM0802 I made the mistake of getting that and my first covid vaccine in the same arm, same day. felt like mike Tyson had punched me.

I received my shingles vaccine today, and to be honest this is hitting me harder than my 5 Covid vaccines I got. 🤒

@ClaraJeffery @stevesilberman He was something.

@JamesFallows He's probably working to fix that.

So sorry and sad that @stevesilberman, a great friend to me and so many — millions, really — has left us. Funny as hell, endless empathy, smarts, love, courage, and sweetness. One of a kind. Hugs to all his loved ones, esp @WardQNormal.

Terry Gross of @nprfreshair is the best interviewer in the business. The transcript of my 2015 interview with Terry about my history of #autism and #neurodiversity, #NeuroTribes, is archived here. It was an honor to talk to her. npr.org/transcripts/43…

@WiringTheBrain I love “Wait, that’s not all.”

Wait, that's not all. If you see some suggestive findings, how about replicating them in an independent sample, like a scientist, rather than subjecting the world to what is likely noise?

PSA: If you perform a load of tests, you have to correct your p-values accordingly. You can't just take whatever pops up at p<0.05 as "real". That is all.

@WiringTheBrain God save us

Two galaxy brains collide... 😅

@SStossel TMIQ

Relatable.

I guess it's appropriate that an ad for a "leaving academia" consultant would feature the consultant manifesting the behavior that's driving people away from academia.

@SlickVicUno2 @JoJoFromJerz This is not okay.

@JoJoFromJerz Yes, please and thank you says America!!
