Reviewing @RogerBivand's wonderful writing on spatial stats and pseudo-significance only to be (very pleasantly reminded) that I at one point knew what I'm after.... You should really read this book!!!!!! r-spatial.org/book/part-3.ht…
There is a ton of things undergrads don't know about grad study, and no obvious sources of such information. This one is excellent.

Marie Curie's instructions regarding a proposed gift of a wedding dress for her marriage to Pierre in July 1895 ✍️
Provocative thread, to put it mildly. Agree or disagree?
Great story. Reminds me of my favorite econ professor when I was an undergrad. He devised a little model on the spur of the moment in lecture, and said, "Hmm, not a bad model...worse have been published..."

The Venn diagram could become a meme. :-)
The NeurIPS high school track has made its way to Chinese social media. The collaborator who sent me this said there is at least one example of a professor asking their PhD student to help write a paper for one of their kids so that it can help their college admissions abroad.
RE the high school track at NeurIPS: Don't we think the conference has enough small permutations of the same idea that mostly lead nowhere except for the opportunity to write more NeurIPS papers?
@FightForSoma “Outdoor dining” or any such thing, is impossible in SoMa. My kid said it best: “Mom, in our neighborhood, you have to keep moving. Don’t stop to chat. Don’t make eye contact. Just keep going and don’t stop. And don’t touch anything!” Thanks @sfgov for the family-friendly vibes.

A scary thought I had the other day. You know how climate scientists keep warning that this ocean circulation in the Atlantic (the AMOC) might collapse and that this could cool mid & north Europe by several degrees Celsius? Well, if the AMOC collapses (which looks increasingly…

Gazan elites lived like this while others were poor and unemployed. A friend from Gaza tells me like a third of young people were on drugs! Where is the outrage at this!? When there's an ongoing siege - you need political connections for this! And Hamas caused the siege!

Recall that kid who was expelled from Vandy for organizing protests? Well, you might recognize the people with him in this picture. These kids are selected, trained, and well funded. They aren't protesting the system. They are learning to be part of the system.
@sfmcguire79 Here's how you know this isn't a "free speech" or a "politeness" issue. The protesters are targeting a Jewish professor for being Jewish. They are attacking him in his home. This is what we call A POGROM.
I always found it bizarre that it was the idea that COVID originated from a lab leak that was supposedly racist. Wouldn’t it be more “racist” to be convinced that COVID started in a wet market in China where indigenous locals sold each other live animals? Never understood that
