Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

Panel of two world maps colored according to the frequency of chess Grand Masters from each country. The darker the color, the more chess Grand Masters come from the respective countries. Upper Panel A is for male players, lower panel B for females, accordingly.

First try at a #TidyTuesday dataset. This one was on the most recent FIDE International Chess Federation's rankings. I decided to create a map exploring which countries give rise to the most Grand Masters. I enjoyed it a lot!

Today I had the pleasure of presenting our R and Quarto-based reproducible analysis pipeline for a large multicenter RCT at #useR2025. The Clinical Trials session was a wonderful platform for exchange and inspiration. Thanks to all attendees and organizers who made this great conference happen!

Today marked a great start to this year’s #user2025 conference at Duke university. I especially enjoyed @hadley.nzβ€˜s insightful and humorous keynote. Now I’m very much looking forward to my own talk on Saturday. See you there!

I thought so. But can we agree that that a less then optimal way to use hashtags? I subscribed to a feed that filters for POCUS content and I would prefer it to show me POCUS content exclusively. I feel like it’s a little selfish of you to force your content on me. Maybe try to reconsider. Thanks.

What does the trial have to do with POCUS?

Machine learning is only truly effective and efficient for a small number of tasks when done right.

Large Language Models in particularly are only good for a small subset of Machine Learning tasks.Β Β Β None of these tasks are best done with a single monolithic "AI" machine.

Thanks for sharing! I have made just about the same experience (and keep on doing so) over the last 1-2 years. The slower path has grown to be a dear friend of mine and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Keep up the good work!

It’s #POCUS time again. Elderly patient w/ proximal femur fracture accompanied by most severe pain. Due for emergency surgery, but couldn’t even be moved to the table properly. Quick fascia iliaca plane block before any other actions were taken solved it.

Bluesky’s science takeover: 70% of Nature poll respondents use platform Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X.

Bluesky seems to be the place to post science.

It’s time for #POCUS - #ICU edition. Elderly patient admitted with (among others) dyspnea. Instant bedside ultrasound reveals substantial pleural effusion. Quick diagnosis, quick treatment.

Thanks! I had the opportunity to give it a try this week and it really works like a charm! Feels a bit like the Prism of the R ecosystem πŸ˜€

There ain’t nothing better than some holiday #POCUS
In-plane #PENG block for left pertrochanteric femur fracture. It’s how baby Jesus would have wanted his parents’ #anesthesia to go.
