Second ask of the day - does anyone here hire and train non-college educated but extremely bright and focused people that want to be an astrophysicist? Hit me up. Have someone that I KNOW will be amazing in the right placement.

Do I know any architecture profs, librarians, or others that have an unwanted but in good shape copy of African American architects : a biographical dictionary, 1865-1945 by Dreck Spurlock Wilson? Hardcover preferred but paperback welcome. Looking for a copy for my brother that is named for him.
Data Organization in Spreadsheets Karl W. Broman & Kara H. Woo Pages 2-10 | Received 01 Jun 2017, Accepted author version posted online: 29 Sep 2017, Published online: 24 Apr 2018 1. Introduction 2. Be Consistent 3. Choose Good Names for Things 4. Write Dates as YYYY-MM-DD 5. No Empty Cells 6. Put Just One Thing in a Cell 7. Make it a Rectangle 8. Create a Data Dictionary 9. No Calculations in the Raw Data Files 10. Do Not Use Font Color or Highlighting as Data 11. Make Backups 12. Use Data Validation to Avoid Errors 13. Save the Data in Plain Text Files ABSTRACT Spreadsheets are widely used software tools for data entry, storage, analysis, and visualization. Focusing on the data entry and storage aspects, this article offers practical recommendations for organizing spreadsheet data to reduce errors and ease later analyses. The basic principles are: be consistent, write dates like YYYY-MM-DD, do not leave any cells empty, put just one thing in a cell, organize the data as a single rectangle (with subjects as rows and variables as columns, and with a single header row), create a data dictionary, do not include calculations in the raw data files, do not use font color or highlighting as data, choose good names for things, make backups, use data validation to avoid data entry errors, and save the data in plain text files.
Every day is a good day for sharing one of the most useful papers about research data ever written. PLEASE get your people to understand and follow this advice.

IN COLOR!
I love this piece in gray scale, so I wanted to try it in color. :)
Yeah, I had fun with it. :D #storm #marvel #xmen
Who in Baltimore is hiring teens full-time or at least part-time with consistent hours and schedule? A friend has a 19 year old that isn’t in school but is needing a launching pad. Dependable.
Much of this is the result not just of the fascists, but also otherwise “liberal” people who felt offended by any systemic critiques these academics have of the liberal system from which these “liberal” people benefit.
Fascists are ultimately to blame for fascism but are aided by many along the way
Anyone have a good solution for wifi in DC Union Station? Low phone signal and spotty Amtrak connection means I need alternative.
Anybody in #Balrimore wanna buy the #OrientExpress Lego from me? New in Box. Got it release day. It has been sitting in closet the entire time. Now retired. $350
Figure 3 from study article on heart and CKD outcomes. Most importantly an anatomical heart has arms and legs and a face and is crying uncontrollably. Nothing else in the image is anthropomorphic so WTF
The topic is not actually important, but my first thought when I saw this was “that thing mad ain’t it?!!“

Looking for someone to make publication quality graph from my version Monday or Tuesday. Qualitative data. Potentially a euler diagram but likely sticking with a network graph (have mermaid code). It’s for a grant so confidentiality required. This is a paid opp and not for AI.
Since I’m up…welp forgot the thought. Anyway, happy Friday!
End of the year but not new year new me tomorrow. just me. Expect a lot of cool things next year from my biz and about lego and video games
You haven’t seen Baltimore unless you’ve been on a Full Story Baltimore tour!! Yes even for locals. There are so many cool things we take for granted every day.
And disproportionately affects Black people with uteruses — I’ve seen reporting that 50-80% have the condition. This from the Mayo Clinic says 90% by age 50, it’s outrageous

Screenshot of interactive look-up tool map where you can see the vaccination rates of individual schools as well as county and statewide rates
You can also use the map in the story to look up vaccination rates in your local schools! This was a HUGE data lift: we reviewed and mapped tens of thousands of individual schools’ data, assembling the most comprehensive public database. And we published this data here: github.com/washingtonpo...

And on Nov 3, 2026, be sure to install the update for your Congressional operating system so that your fascism protection package can be restored.
In 2026:
If you can get vaccinated, you will.
For the sake of the babies who can't be vaccinated yet.
For the sake of the children and adults who are immune compromised.
For the sake of the people who can't be vaccinated.
You will heroically save lives.
Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.
If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
By making these choices, you will literally save lives.
Then you aren’t 😂 We get to call ourselves whatever we want ⭐️

Our guidance regarding performance measures for medical AI models is finally out!
- Stop bashing AUROC, although it does not settle things
- Calibration and clinical utility are key
- Show risk distributions
- Classification statistics (e.g. F1) are improper

Today is a reminder of the WHY I am an educator and why HBCUs matter. One of my first MPH students crosses the stage with his PhD. On this journey we became #family. Full circle y’all and I am so proud. Yesterday he put up with my goofiness so I present #DrAjoku. #FAMU #Memphis #Epidemiology
When I was doing my DrPH at UK, I worked with students at K-State and got to love the campus and the people. I actually split my time between there and the UK libraries. People should be safe at school and at their residence. Everywhere. Hugs and love to all the ‘Breds! www.cnn.com/2025/12/10/u...
