@luhugerth "clip" or "clamp", perhaps? For fastening I would search for e.g. "hose clip", "saddle clamp", "velcro strap".

@dmallo_phylo @3rdreviewer @dposada_ I've learned a lot from your work @dmallo_phylo and @dposada_. I also have very fond memories of this time.
And thank you @3rdreviewer for the high praise, you made me come back from my self-imposed twitter exile.
English
@3rdreviewer We thought it was a key concept for the field too. We put feelers out, but most peers considered it common knowledge that may have just lacked explicit consideration. Great memories of my first published work, with @dposada_ and @leomrtns
Thanks for the kind words, @3rdreviewer

This paper has only been cited 6 times since 2014, but it is one of the most insightful things I have read in quite a while.

@oatila @bluesky recomendar, eu recomendo mastodon. mstdn.science, genomic.social, e fediscience.org voltados pra ciência, ou scicomm.xyz, mastodon.xyz , sciencemastodon.com, e journa.host voltados pra comms

@BioMickWatson "A zebra crossing with a central island is two separate crossings (see Rule 20)" highwaycodeuk.co.uk/rules-for-pede…
Thus most of those are not zebra crossings: no belisha beacons, no zigzag markings. Terrible, half-baked design, yes. Cyclists should do better, yes. "Supposed to stop", no.
English
Cyclists? Not stopping when they're supposed to? I'm SHOCKED I tell you, SHOCKED!!

@lemire The original study does not allow for the certainty expressed by the columnist. From cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10…, the key message: "We are uncertain whether wearing masks or N95/P2 respirators helps to slow the spread of respiratory viruses based on the studies we assessed."
English
New York Times:
“There is just no evidence that masks make any difference, Full stop.”
What about N-95 masks, as opposed to lower-quality surgical or cloth masks?
“Makes no difference — none of it”

@JohnDCook @lemire Most of the studies included in this meta-analysis _are_ from before 2019, see #CD006207-sec-0015" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10…
As mentioned in the thread and by the authors themselves, mask intervention for influenza didn't work b/c "adherence with interventions was low in many studies".
English
@lemire Dozens of studies before 2019 had shown masks to be ineffective.
Experts knew, or should have known, that they wouldn’t work.

@daniela_witten Did you just described UK's narrative CV?
jokes aside. Although not an explicit core competency, from recomendation letters to diversity and teaching phylosophy statements, it's hard to get the foot on the door without some tearjerker docs.
English
I don’t expect ChatGPT to change academia because writing long-winded but eloquent text that has a non-zero probability of being hot garbage is not a core academic competency.

@oatila As vacinas usadas na China (science.org/content/articl…) não protegem bem contra Omicron. O q vemos é um experimento macabro sobre a baixa eficácia da coronavac. Artigo recente comparando vacinas em pop ñ infectada: thelancet.com/journals/lanwp… (tbém twitter.com/leomrtns/statu…)
Leonardo Martins@leomrtns
@oatila @PFFparaTodos Com a falta de proteção da Coronavac sem heterológa conta a Omicron, a dose de reforço pode dar uma falsa sensação de segurança (nos casos em q estão empurrando coronavac). (slide daqui who.int/news-room/even…, veja tbem nature.com/articles/s4159… e nature.com/articles/s4159…)

Com o fim da COVID Zero, em poucos dias o vírus já tomou conta dos grandes centros urbanos. A vacina reduz a chance de hospitalização e casos graves. Mas mesmo 10x menos casos graves em uma cidade de 22 milhões de hab. são muitos casos.

Pra quem pergunta o que acontece na China, segue um fio resumo do que expliquei no @XadrezVerbal
Uma população de 1,4bi vacinada ano passado, com vacinas inativadas, agora encontra a variante mais transmissível da COVID até aqui. Verão em 2-3 meses uma versão "branda" de 2020/21

@agapow int64 is from numpy, while Int64 is an extension type from Pandas. The main difference is that Int64 is a nullable integer pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/de…. With int64 for instance, presence of an NaN forces the type to become float; with Int64 you can have NaNs

@RomainStuder By doing that, you don't need to worry much about the main theme of the server (you can follow ppl across servers).
To see a full list of servers by category and moderation: instances.social
It's also suggested to avoid very big servers due to possible bandwith issues
English
@RomainStuder genomic.social/about
ecoevo.social/about
mstdn.science
These are newer ones, with more liberal rules. My advice is to chose a server whose rules you're comfortable with (some, like scholar.social or even scicomm.xyz have too many rules)
English
I am thinking to try Mastodon (and maybe moving away from Twitter). If you are already there, which instance(s) would you recommand? Any other advice?
English
@idavydov genomic.social/about
ecoevo.social/about
mstdn.science
The server does matter since they can have specific, enforceable rules. The ones mentioned above are more relaxed. See also scicomm.xyz for another, stricter option.
English
fediscience.org and scholar.social are currently not accepting new members. Alternatives?
Sure, it "doesn't matter which server", but then every server has a weirdly specific target audience, e.g., "programming language theorists and mathematicians"

@netflix really has to rethink its support of conspirational, pseudoscientific "documentaries". Most paying customers will not want to sponsor it, once they realise it. Alternatives like Amazon Prime or Dysney are a much better investment in our future.
