Fun news! @gcbias.bsky.social and I are teaching a 2-week online population genetics workshop this summer to raise money for the Center for Population Biology at UC Davis. We're trying to gauge interest -- please fill this out if you might be interested! And please share broadly!

Might have actual nightmares about Matthew Broderick doing a Jonathan Pruitt by like asking a bot to “do the spreadsheet”

I watched Crazy Rich Asians over the holidays. Why didn't any of you tell me that the protagonist is a game theorist?

My brain keeps trying to interpret the new "food pyramid" as a ternary plot.

For example, seeing "game theory" and "agent-based modeling" as distict approaches.

In my limited experience, economists, and by extension political scientists, have a narrow view of what "game theory" includes. The perils of an insular field.

Happy Trogday to those who celebrate!

As long as the placard contains the caveat that it was a tongue-in-cheek response to the suggestion that additional data would resolve the issue of Berkson's paradox.

I'm more of a theory person, anyway. So if I were to imagine the space of all possible recipes, I suspect that more pots would imply worse outcomes as there are probably more ways to make things worse than better.

I don't know. You seemed to care enough to propose a correlation and provide some (admittedly anecdotal) evidence for it.

Dude, this is Berkson's paradox.

"We welcome PhDs to a round table table discussion from assistant professors who were recently on the job market"

Agreed. I don't recommend learning trigonometry solely from that video.

I had a Mathnet badge and would buy one again.

My masters advisor wrote a paper where they failed to train chickens to push buttons to turn on a heater. Even after they defeathered them.
