Happy to see this out in BMC Public Health: The impact of quality-adjusted life years on evaluating COVID-19 mitigation strategies: lessons from age-specific vaccination roll-out and variants of concern in Belgium (2020-2022). Congrats @LanderWillem & all! link.springer.com/article/10.118…
Stingless bees can transmit different building traditions across generations without individuals needing to be instructed by their peers. This has left observers of animal culture abuzz econ.st/4aI4CCK 🐝
Please find attached the programme of the PhD course Frontiers in Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity Conservation - KU Leuven, for which me, @rafaerts & Joachim Mergeay have put together three great symposia with a fantastic lineup of speakers. 🧵
Termites raise skyscraping nests; honeybees fashion mesmerisingly geometric combs. The true master builders of the insect world, however, are the hundreds of species of stingless bee econ.st/4autjD2 🐝
These tiny-brained creatures are capable of building according to different architectural traditions which are then handed down over generations, evolutionary biologists have found econ.st/4aR4Ash 🐝
R became the most popular statistical software: over a quarter of all Pubmed articles use it. For those who think we should be teaching SPSS or GraphPad Prism or Statistica instead... Original analysis by Georges Choueiry here: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Memory is now available to all ChatGPT Plus users. Using Memory is easy: just start a new chat and tell ChatGPT anything you’d like it to remember. Memory can be turned on or off in settings and is not currently available in Europe or Korea. Team, Enterprise, and GPTs to come.
What about leveraging external/prior information? Various approaches have been attempted [ex: Pickrell 2014, Kichaev 2019, Baranger 2023] but the gains are often small to moderate. Calls to incorporate prior information through Bayesian models need to grapple with these findings.
But even one threshold has been highly effective. In the early days, GWAS and candidate gene studies were rife with false-positives [Hirschhorn 2002]. After genome-wide significance, GWAS associations for quantitative traits replicate at a remarkable 94.8% [O’Sullivan 2021].
Genome-wide significance is about identifying variants for which the estimated effect size is *accurate*. And since most traits are polygenic (meaning a large fraction of variants will have some non-zero association) this practically means getting effect *direction* right.
Here’s an example of what I’m talking about from Frank Harrell’s otherwise excellent critique of bad biomarker analysis [fharrell.com/post/badb/]. This gets GWAS completely wrong. Genome-wide significance is not about "picking winners" or "ranking" the losers.
