@SenRickScott The Onion couldn't have written a better pair of sentences

Representing the United States—a beacon for freedom and democracy—at the Olympics is an honor. Anyone who feels otherwise should be stripped of their USA Olympic uniform.

@davidjglassMD Plumbing, sewers, draining swsmps

A thread: an incomplete list of innovations that have increased lifespan/healthspan, in somewhat historical order: 1) Germ theory of disease, leading to pasteurization, boiling and filtration of water, etc. Before this people were drunk all the time because water was dangerous.

New post to Data From focusing on replicated experiments, which are rarely analyzed with best practice models #BenchBiology #CellBiology #rstats data-from.netlify.app

New post to Data From...Bench Biology - more on why bench biologists should use GLM offset models for percent data instead of t-tests. #rstats #CellBiology data-from.netlify.app

New post to Data From...bench biology. Reanalysis of proportion (percent) data using GLMs data-from.netlify.app/posts/ctla-4-e…

New post to Data From...Bench Bio. highlights: why we shouldn't adjust for multiple tests and error bars implying negative mean counts! #rstats data-from.netlify.app/posts/lsd1%20i…

New post - the LMM and GLMM version of a ratio paired t-test allow asymmetric CIs on the plot #rstats #cellbiology data-from.netlify.app

Finally starting to move this long term project re-analyzing data from the experimental bench biology literature to a public space #rstats data-from.netlify.app

@SolomonKurz I voted descriptive but my textbook uses numbers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ middleprofessor.com/files/applied-…

Some stats textbooks label models using a numeric system. Other texts label models with descriptors. Which method do you prefer? Example pics above. Give me all your hot takes below.

#RStats Some stats textbooks label models using a numeric system (e.g., McElreath, 2020; left pic). Other texts label models with descriptors (e.g., Roback & Legler, 2021; right pic). Broadly speaking, which method do you prefer? Poll below.

@stevemagness Chariots of Fire is all about the pursuit of excellence but where are the women above? King Richard and Lessons in Chemistry are the very models of a modern major pursuit of excellence.

What are the best shows, movies, and documentaries that exemplify the pursuit of excellence? In this weeks FAREWELL podcast we did a draft to pick the best ones. What did we miss? Whose team personifies excellence best? Listen to FAREWELL on any podcast host.

8/ There is no gas exchange in glycolysis!

7/ "Anaerobic respiration" -- WTF? Respiration means breathing (which we now understand as gas exchange) not ATP synthesis. Cellular respiration uses "respiration" not because ATP is made but because the cell is exchanging O2/CO2 across the plasma (and mitochondrial) membranes!

1/ Exercise physiology has some horrendous examples of language that is begging for introducing misconceptions in students and athletes. "fast glycolysis" and "slow glycolysis", "anaerobic glycolysis" and "aerobic glycolysis", and my favorite "anaerobic respiration".
