Oooooo

I have to flag this as not actually a parody.

Oh. Must try.

I see. Yes, I’m quite idiosyncratic! Haha!

His meatball recipe in his cookbook is my ride or die. The adaptation to a meatloaf on his Patreon is a household staple now.

Leftover Turkey Green Enchiladas (Crispy-Edge Style) | J. Kenji Lopez-Alt Get more from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt on Patreon

Working on leftovers, and this was a hit - although don't sauce the tops much at all if you want crisp. What should I do next? frienji.kenjilopezalt.com/posts/leftov...

This is so good. But I want to see more exampled of 'bespoke' models versus a 'default' model to help solidify the comparison - and how frequently someone in our field would go the bespoke route. I've never gotten a clear definition on 'bespoke'... is that most of what I do? Or none?

Waterbodies Podcast — False Creek Friends Society From a centrepiece of Vancouver’s waterways, to a world-class icon of urban marine renewal

Pod alert: UBC's Chris Harley and Colleen Kellogg of the Hakai Institute discuss ways to conceive of different levels of biodiversity, the features of False Creek, how False Creek could become a Living lab, and the 2022 BioBlitz. Check it out:

Pen and ink drawing of a scattering of small 5 to 10 armed star-shaped animals on a jagged rock surface. Handwritten text reads: #InsertAnInvert 44: Blobfest (Blobbageddon) Star Tunicate (Botryllus schlosseri) This colonial tunicate has individual zooids (~1-3 mm) that fan outwards from a central point like the arms of a star. Human transport (on ships, for example) has given this tiny organism a nearly cosmopolitan distribution.

11 months of #InsertAnInvert2024 in 2025 down! I can see the finish line!

First day of #crustmas with some friends gathered for the holidays.

Sounds lik Bloc up here. My wife and I would make up stories about how they’d just planted the wheat for the breakfast sandwiches, so it might take a bit.

podokesaurus running with a cup Of joe from dunks on a flag that says Massachusetts.

Just perfection.

It’s because they rejected the Podokesaurus with a cup of dunks. The entire state knew that was the right choice.

What is the prompt that you were first given?

Would read.

I’m guessing once the actual data comes out, time for another how-not-to-do-science example for the #causalinference portion of my biostats class.

A plate of the same cookies.

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

What a loss. He was incredibly kind to me as a postdoc as I wrote extensions to his {sem} package and even folded them in, putting me on as a coauthor on a chapter. An important milestone in my career. And he didn’t need to do that - but went out of his way.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen —

(Ok, that’s 6….)

Kenji Lopez-Alt also has a great series of recipes. This is one my my favs. frienji.kenjilopezalt.com/posts/bang-b...

Again, as with all the other federal budget cuts that are incinerating 20-25% of the funding & the entire budget model of every R1 university in 🇺🇸, this is a five-alarm emergency that requires immediate, loud, collective condemnation by our university presidents. Total 🦗 as it’s all being gutted.

Even the the damn twitter card for this Nature Scientific Reports is clearly AI Slop.

A charcuterie board arranged in the shape of a turkey. The body is the turkey is a pear with eyes, beak, and legs made of cheese. Surrounding the body are concentric arcs of meat, cheese, crackers, and fruit forming an exaggerated fan of tail feathers.

Quick, they can’t have gotten far

The revenge of the Marshmallow Experiment

This seems like it might be a clean confirmation of the theory that 'irrational' preference reversals in temporal choice problems are due to marginalising over socially-calibrated uncertainty about whether the later event will actually occur.

Oooooo

Embracing my silly side makes me a better scientist. I wish I’d done it sooner Humor has helped this professor connect with students and colleagues—and remain resilient during hard times

As someone who has begun changing his wardrobe to match his classes and science (and because I love it), I approve this message. www.science.org/content/arti...

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.)
