Basic Research 101: have a complete and thorough understanding of where your data are coming from, including all potential sources of error. Yet another example of AI repeatedly being used to supposedly reflect reality, and that “reality” somehow passing peer review (over and over). #DoBetter
Due to sanctions against Russia, baby food in Germany has been linked to cancer
Just a pathetic, pathetic effort from the Pistons tonight. Extremely disappointing.
Pistons starters just not bringing anything even close to playoff intensity. Get it together.
Seriously, what is this? I’d like to thank the NYT for providing the public with a perfect example of selection bias that will now be regularly used in courses on the topic. 👎 Come on folks…
Melissa is one of the best RAs I’ve ever worked with! Fortunate to have her on the team. 💯
How tables like this get through peer and editorial review will forever befuddle me. Like…actually read. 🙄
Maybe this is what will finally wake people up? Hopefully?
Statisticians are trained in how to compute statistics, but not why to compute statistics. At least 10% of their training should be in philosophy of statistics. They should also spend 10 credits on their own empirical research project to understand how data is acually collected.
The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

I know we are spoiled as fans of Michigan sports, but my goodness the Michigan Hockey team deserved a better fate last night.
Still, props to Denver. That is a well-coached team that was relentless all night long. And that freshman goalie is unreal.
Now, on to today’s goal of not passing out. 😴
I just hope that everyone has fun this second overtime
A wild penalty appears!
FIGHT
MAGIC

This has arguably been the most dreadful part of this last decade of nonsense…the complete unwillingness of this body to stand up for anything. Just shameful, top to bottom.

Morez says: NATIONAL CHAMPS!!! 〽️💯
ICEBREAKER! LET’S GOOOO
Yep. Gotta grind. Bring those lunch pails in the second half!
Yes, this is one of the worst possible uses of AI that you can imagine. This practice needs to be killed with fire. And no, this is not because I work on survey methods. This is because anyone who can rub two brain cells together will realize what a bad idea this is.
Make it stop 🙄

I honestly thought that this game would be an all-timer. Just unreal dominance from the get.
Just an absolutely epic run by this basketball team right now. One more! LFG!!! 〽️ #HAIL
APRIL RODDY!!! 😂💯😤
This is an interesting illustration of potential bias due to non-ignorable selection: respondents from a political poll recruited by ads on Instagram reporting that their main source of information about politics is Instagram.
Uhhhh start the basketball, this is absolutely brutal 👎
What a dominant, dominant performance. Team has been special from Day 1.
That Arizona game…hooo boy. Hold onto your butts! #HAIL
