#1 mistake: Thinking that post-hoc power is a thing. It's kinda like budgeting for your reno after the contractors are finished. It's too late.

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said.
Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.

Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules

Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

Snow coming down heavy. By the end of the day we should also get freezing rain, rain, and thunderstorms

Canada should be rolling out the welcome mat for American scientists. Instead post-secondary funding is being frozen or cut. Huge missed opportunities

CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately. The surprise decision is focused on the U.S.

Imagine trying to play Pandemic but *plot twist* you can't leave North America.

You'd lose every time.

Wow that paper is delicious. If #MachineLearning can predict from an image of the knee whether the person has eaten refried beans in the past 12 months, overfitting/overinterpretation/declaring noise as signal must be in play. Predicting weird outcomes is a great way to do bullshit detection.

Solidarity. Will have to tackle this soon. Just as soon as I finish updating my university format CV and then separately report all my activities last year to my department.

Our recent work featured in CBC news.

Too many patients are dying in hospital waiting to be discharged. ED/hospital overcrowding has its root cause in lack of adequate capacity in community and subacute settings.

Updated overnight and my default font on Microsoft apps has shifted from Calibri to Aptos. Naturally my immediate reaction is that I hate it.

Any font nerds out there to help me decide if I should just roll with it? Could be an opportune moment to pick a different font entirely.
