R.I.P Google Scholar. I'm going to share the 10 Perplexity prompts that turn research from a chore into a superpower. Copy & paste these into Perplexity right now:

Ultrafast and ultralarge multiple sequence alignments using TWILIGHT | Bioinformatics | Oxford Academic academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

@kareem_carr Strongly agree

Excellent question. In statistics, I think most people will get vastly more out of regularly reviewing the basics than rushing ahead to more and more advanced material.

Preparing a project in REDCap. Can anyone refer me to a manual or description of the programming syntax for branching logic and variable validation? Haven't seen a direct reference in the materials on the site. Thanks. #Redcap

@WeizmannScience Thank you @WeizmannScience. Science can't stand apart from society in an ivory tower

We, at the Weizmann Institute of Science, are ashamed of, and dismayed by the Israeli government, who is threatening to crush all the conditions for the existence of a healthy civil society, and to act contrary to the law and the court’s order. (1/6)

Don't use ChatGPT for academic research. It creates fake citations to papers that don't even exist. Instead, use Consensus — an AI-powered search engine designed for academics. Ask it a question and it'll give you a summary of top 5-10 (real) published papers.

🧹 Tidier.jl v0.5.0 for #JuliaLang is released. - Adds `pivot_wider()`, `pivot_longer()` (thanks @randyboyes!) - Adds `if_else()`, `case_when()` What does Tidier.jl support? 👇 Quite a bit of #rstats {tidyverse}. GitHub: github.com/kdpsingh/Tidie… Docs: kdpsingh.github.io/Tidier.jl/dev/

@kdpsinghlab Has anyone begun preparing tutorial materials for using #Tidier.jl? You have the example in the readme file on github, but others exist? Once I understand it better and get some legs under me on my project, I'd volunteer.

Blogbattle (noun): when academics argue over Twitter by sharing links to their dueling blog posts proving why they, and they alone, are right. See also: Commentaryclash, the peer-reviewed version.

@kdpsinghlab Ok, I have the perfect project now to give this a try as my first Julia effort. Thanks for all your work on this!

Update: Tidier 0.4.1 for #JuliaLang. - Using `filter()` with `in` is now really simple. Behind the scenes, `in` gets vectorized and the right side gets surrounded by a `Ref(Set(…))` - You can now interpolate values and not just column names using `!!` github.com/kdpsingh/Tidie…

Saw here (I think) recently a post about alternative softwares for preparing images for scientific articles. But, of course, I can't find it now. I have been using Inkscape, but would like to consider others that are easier to use. All ideas gratefully received.

@mglerner That one too!

_capital_ (not capitol) comment right here.

@stephaniehicks Thank you @stephaniehicks. A pet peeve for decades. And here where 🇵🇹 ese is the first language, imagine principal principle, oy vey! No one gets it.

folks. it's _principal_ (not principle) components analysis.

Right on

Let’s settle this once and for all Smash Like if you think Python is absolutely undeniably better than R! Hit Retweet if you know deep in your bones that R is better than Python!

@EpiEllie In Brazil, São Paulo at least, masks are mandatory on public transport since early December

Really wish the CDC would just step up to the plate and say: “from now until Feb, or until trajectory of covid deaths is declining, masks are mandatory on transit & in all public + government spaces, and we strongly recommend state & local health departments take the same action”
