The reduction of child mortality is one of the big achievements of our time. But it is hard to celebrate something that is *not* happening. So, for my new article, I turned things around. 👇This is the main chart and takeaway. Here is the article: ourworldindata.org/children-saved…
The Impacts of Prediction AI on Scientists: Evidence from AlphaFold New preprint analysing AF impact on structural biology. Provides evidence of impact on adopter (citer) productivity, the types of proteins studied (bigger, harder, newer), and decreased citation polarisation.
PLOS ONE published an RCT of a program providing free reading glasses to adults needing near-vision correction in Bangladesh (where ~1/3 of adults need such correction but only 3% get it). Quick take: High-quality RCT finds sizable 33% gain in workforce earnings at 8-mo mark. 1/6
Why is tech journalism often so bad? @binarybits writes an impressively candid piece about reporters who don't have in depth knowledge and audiences who don't care: asteriskmag.com/issues/06/debu…
My first solo-authored paper, Accounting for future populations in health research, is now out in Bioethics! It addresses a basic question research funders face: how forward-looking should they be? 1/5
Out today in AEJ Micro by @Angelucci_Ch, @CageJulia & @MSinkinson TV rollout in 1944 to 1964 reduced newspaper readership and decimated advertising revenue. Newspapers responded by reducing content, particularly local news which in turn led to more party vote share congruence.

big W for generative protein design in a preprint this week A new AI-designed CRISPR Cas protein that is: - about as active as SpCas9 (most widely-used Cas) - 95% reduction in off-target editing - plausibly less immunogenic - 182 mutations away from *any* Cas in their database

Early pregnancy sucks bc you’re “not supposed to tell people” when there’s also the most barfing and brain fog so people think you’re rude weird & stupid. Sorry if I canceled or looked like I hated your idea the last few months! Proud to say I’ve only vomited on myself so far🤰🏻
Some limitations include short analysis timeframes (2021-22), defines structural biology narrowly and ignores impacts outside, citation is an imperfect proxy for use. It's still good that social scientists are starting to pay more attention to AI adoption/impacts in science.
@JosephPolitano Not a cop, just a local official of some sort. I go there every week and this was the first time this happened. He didn't kick me out but said to get a permit next time (I will not!)
Today at the local park with my 5 kids, I was told I needed a permit to be there with a group of more than 5 people. I said that they were my own kids and he said I still needed a permit!
People who generalize about groups will often say they understand it's just a correlation and not everyone in the group is like that, and yet they're still surprised when they meet a member of the group who isn't like that. Obviously not all people who generalize are like this.
Yes the menswear guy is a guy is a lib who makes fun of conservatives a lot, but it’s very funny how mad this makes online conservatives, like shouldn’t the expert on traditional tailoring be a conservative? Why can’t the online conservative ecosystem produce its own menswear guy

📊 NBC News Poll: Presidential Election Voted in 2020 & 2022: 🔵 Biden +9 Didn't vote in either: 🔴 Trump+22 — "Very interested in election" • April 2024 — 64% (an all-time low) • July 2020 — 77% • May 2016 — 69% • April 2012 — 67% • April 2008 — 74%

@albrgr Thanks for the link! I'm always looking for podcasts of in-depth discussions with academics about their research (ideally two academics talking to each other), but most things are very short or dumbed down. "Probable Causation" is an OK option, but a bit low information-density.
