Gemeni Dynamic View is really amazing!
Look at what it built in just 5 minutes for my today's workshop!
It truly represents the next step in presentation.

Statistics isn’t just about P values, it’s about understanding the story your data tells.
This Nature Cell Biology piece perfectly captures how thoughtful design and transparent analysis build better science.

Another important point highlighted is that among experts, those with strong critical thinking skills advanced dramatically to the moon.
The risk becomes even greater at the societal level: when such tools are available to everyone, including those without education, let alone critical thinking abilities 🙃, the consequences can be troubling. And this is exactly what we are seeing on a daily basis.

I really like this fascinating figure in a recent NEJM paper
It shows that once generative AI became publicly available, those who were already skilled and agile were able to exponentially accelerate their proficiency. Interestingly, it also suggests that early exposure to generative AI carried a high risk of deskilling, mis-skilling, or even never-skilling.
I believe this pattern can be extrapolated to almost every field. What we often experience is not genuine learning, but rather a hallucination of learning, and the illusion shatters when we step into the job market and face the challenge of positioning ourselves.

📚Almost all classical statistics can be seen as an extension of regression analysis, and learning to use it effectively is often enough for robust analysis. Linear models are powerful and versatile to do this.
🔬 This free book offers a step-by-step guide to applying linear models in R, tailored for biological sciences:

Let’s give some credit where it’s due 🙌
Sleuths are top-notch researchers who carefully review published work, spot errors, and push for corrections or retractions when needed.
One of the best platforms for these discussions is PubPeer, where sharp observations often uncover issues that would otherwise go unnoticed.
And of course, Retraction Watch regularly highlights instructive cases that remind us how science should be self-correcting.

But the thing that really caught me was a post by the sleuth who pushed for this retraction.
Someone actually commented under her post that “this may happen by chance and wished that tweet could be retracted instead”
And here comes the climax: this group has a habit of copy-pasting SEs for case and control. She even uncovered three more of their papers with the same trick.
F the academia 😂😂

This recently retracted paper from Kashan, Iran, got huge attention, though I really wish it hadn’t.
What’s wild is that it was published in Clinical Nutrition (Impact Factor 7.4!) 🤯
And get this, the authors actually included a table where the standard errors are identical for both the intervention and control groups 😂😂
I honestly can’t imagine what was going through their minds while making that table.

جادی کورس پایتون مکتبخونهشو توی این دوران رایگان کرده بود.
الانم مجدد اعلام کرده که فعلا قراره رایگان بمونه. یکی از بهترین کورسای موجود هست و فرصت خوبیه برای یادگیری.
البته باید تیک دسترسی کاملو بردارین و فقط دسترسی به ویدئوهاش هست و تکالیف و سرتیفیکیت فعال نیست و همچنان نیاز با ثبتنام کامل داره.

If you have a list of references and want to export each citation to your reference manager, or if a text includes citations made using different software and you want to recite them all using just one tool (like EndNote)
There’s unfortunately no fully automatic way to do that yet.
But this tool can save you a ton of time by helping you quickly find and export all your citations in a consistent format:

If you know a better or faster way, please share
Thanks

The hiring trend is completely changing, and so is the definition of a full-time job
It's getting harder and harder to find a fit position

🔍 Looking for the right journal
One reliable approach is to search PubMed for related papers and see where they got published. This can be a bit time-consuming.
There are helpful tools that automates this process effectively:
🔗https://jane.biosemantics.org/
🔗 https://selector.dataclinix.com/
Simply paste your title and abstract, and it will suggest suitable journals based on similar publications indexed in PubMed. It’s a quick and useful way to narrow down your options.
This is generally better than publishers journal selectors.

⸰Differences Between Bayesian
and Frequentist Statistics
A great look on how these two drive the statistics methods and how they differ
* One of the applications for us is to choose between bayesian amd frequentist methods for network meta-analysis
