Exactly so. Act more normal and chill out.

@BStulberg Snarky answer: Why drive a BMW when a Honda will get you to the same place? That said ... having gone to a top tier liberal arts college and then a PhD from a land grant university I suspect that you're right about the reality today

Why would anyone currently go to an elite private university if you also got into a great state school? Seems like it’s just 10x the cost, no better of an education, and completely out of touch with reality.

@letsrundotcom I hope you see this report static1.squarespace.com/static/642af7d… and especially the figure on exec comp page 89 where T&F has the HIGHEST of any sport :(

Using excel to do calculations is like pipetting by mouth - convenient, usually fine, but sometimes you ingest an ectoparasite and lose $92 million

I don't think we appreciate how much NIL is changing sports. It's get paid to play now. It's already making HS/transfer recruiting nuts. And it's going to make HS/travel/youth sports even more insane. The payout is sooner & more diverse. We're not prepared for it.

@DrEricDing Agree with other commenters - looks like you're picking data to support a hypothesis instead of looking at other well-known effects (e.g. social media usage and isolation). See everything from @JonHaidt

Gosh—Did something happen starting around 2020-2023? “There are more Americans who say they have serious cognitive problems — with remembering, concentrating or making decisions — than at any time in the last 15 years, data from the Census Bureau shows. The increase started with the pandemic: The number of working-age adults reporting “serious difficulty” thinking has climbed by an estimated one million people. #LongCovid #CovidIsNotOver nytimes.com/2023/11/13/ups…

The late management guru Edward Deming observed, “Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets.” The U.S. is tops in elite sports performance but gets a C for youth sports participation and D for gov’t support. Very proud of this research, a comparative analysis with 11 peer countries, with former State Dept sports diplomacy lead Ashleigh Huffman. Our key insights:

@Nature @AnilOza16 Maybe the first "sweeping" study but not the first! jstor.org/stable/43495190

In a massive exercise to examine reproducibility, more than 200 biologists analysed the same sets of ecological data — and got widely divergent results. go.nature.com/46HBj1H

Wow ... published on this topic (albeit much smaller sample) 10 years ago jstor.org/stable/43495190 Reproducibility trial: 246 biologists get different results from same data sets nature.com/articles/d4158…

@DavidEpstein Indeed a great post! While not a Nobel laureate, are you familiar with twitter.com/jkpritch?lang=… both an impressive geneticist and runner in his own right en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_…

Thanks Lenore!

I just dropped this hot new track at #positconf2023 Snoop vs Biggie battle on the subject of R vs Python (With a little help from AI)

@DrSianAllen I would love this to be true but the sample size, multiple response options, and p-values (p=.01) don't inspire a lot of confidence. Not willing to pay $50 to confirm or deny.

Coaches everywhere will love this. Using social media on smartphones before training blunted improvements in performance in swimmers, vs a control group who watched videos instead...

@stevemagness I heard or read a philosophy on awards for youth (<12) sports recently. I feel like it had to be your blog or podcast ... is that right? Any general guidance? (awards for all? awards for only a few?) Context is summer swim team 😀

@jarlathond "I know a guy... " 😆. But seriously thanks for the work!!!

My thought on the state of commercial remote sensing after 72 hours of disaster support to #VTflood23 - We have a very long way to go before commercial satellites have the tasking, collection, and dissemination capabilities of the "I have a drone" person you met on Twitter.

"digital sabbath and carry a burner flip-phone" love it 😆

@gsherloc I've been waiting for this moment on Twitter when I could plug my own paper since leaving academia 😀bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Looking back the method was quite naive but I did get to use the word "reactionome" 😆

Twitterverse - we have RNA-Seq data (not single cell) for time course experiments for a control and several treatments. Any recommendations for best practices for identifying genes whose expression differs between the time courses? Haven't been able to find any standard approach.

@wc_ratcliff It creeps me out a bit that Twitter knew to show me this but super pumped to see how far this has come from the 4th floor of PBio all those years ago! I still think of the Chuck Norris jokes on your office door!

I’m delighted that our paper on the Multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) has, at long last, been published. This paper establishes the foundations of what I’d like to work on for the rest of my career. 1/25 Free, full access link: rdcu.be/dbPA9

Running helps create two skills that are increasingly rare: 1. When running by yourself, it helps create an ability to be alone inside of your head for a long time. 2. When running with others, you learn to fill time with conversation instead of defaulting to your phone.

Vaguely terrified but definitely thrilled to be doing this next week.
