On the 5th day, Martha was successfully weaned off the machine, fully recovered & survived. Dr. Stahlman became her godmother. In a beautiful poetic circle, that first baby saved by the experimental machine grew up & spent her career working as a NICU nurse. Where? Vanderbilt. 🥳 #WomenInSTEM (3/3)

An intimate, split-composition photo of pioneer neonatologist Dr. Mildred Stahlman (1922–2024) seated on the left, next to her godmothered first-ever saved NICU patient, Martha Humphreys Lott, leaning in from the right inside a rustic log-cabin style room with brick flooring. Dr. Stahlman, late in life with thinning white hair parted down the middle, gazes forward with a calm, wide-eyed expression. She wears a cream-colored knit cardigan over a leopard-print blouse and sits in a chair draped in a vibrant orange and yellow geometric Native American-style blanket, her lower half covered by a soft blue fleece. Martha smiles warmly at the camera, wearing an ornate teal and brown paisley pattern blouse with her brunette hair pulled back. On the wooden wall behind Martha, a small framed black-and-white historical portrait hangs next to an antique oil lamp, bridging the scene across generations. The mood is deeply peaceful and historic, visually uniting the legendary pioneer of mechanical ventilation with the living legacy of her life’s work.

I'm interested in finding and potentially supporting people who are interested in doing long-form writing on the big efforts in global health: Gavi, Global Fund, PEPFAR, etc. If this is you or someone you know, please make yourself known!

Of course, many so-called binary outcomes are dichotomies and dichotomisation is a heinous data crime. Arguing about conditional versus marginal measures is “re-arranging deck-chairs on The Titanic”.

An exoplanet/xenobiologist virtuoso indeed, and as, I can attest from those of my students who have interacted with Prof. Seager, a heck of a teacher. Just for fun, here’s a fairly recent paper that serves as infrastructure for the search for life beyond our solar system:

Laboratory studies on the viability of life in H2-dominated exoplanet atmospheres - Nature Astronomy

Escherichia coli bacteria and yeast cultures (representative prokaryotes and eukaryotes) have been tested under laboratory conditions in a 100% H2 atmosphere. They can reproduce normally, with lower g...

World-renowned astrophysicist & planetary scientist Dr. Sara Seager is an "astronomical Indiana Jones." A professor at #MIT, she's a pioneer in the modern search for life outside our solar system, specializing in the detection/characterization of exoplanets. She was born #OTD in 1971. #WomenInSTEM

Color portrait of world-renowned astrophysicist and planetary scientist Dr. Sara Seager (born July 21, 1971), a foundational pioneer in the discovery and atmospheric characterization of exoplanets. Positioned centrally against a dark chalkboard filled with complex scientific formulas, mathematical graphs, and equations, she looks directly forward with a calm, confident, and direct gaze. Her long, straight dark brown hair frames her face, complementing her warm hazel eyes and a subtle, composed expression. She stands with her arms crossed confidently, wearing a vibrant, textured bright red open knit cardigan over a solid black top. A black hair tie rests on her left wrist, a ring is visible on her finger, and her fingernails are painted a matching bright red. The vertical composition utilizes soft, professional lighting that highlights her features against the academic backdrop, creating an empowering, intellectual, and inspiring mood that reflects her monumental legacy in the search for life beyond our solar system.

Epistemic cognition predicts higher-order learning outcomes, but how can we intervene to build it, and what happens when we do? Learn all about this in this article by Gabe Avakian Orona and yours truly. Gabe is doing great work and it was a real privilege to think with him on this article.

A theoretical model for stimulating epistemic growth in learners

People today must navigate an overwhelming flow of information, much of it misleading or false, while contending with deep political divides. In this post-truth era—where emotion and ideology often...

EXCELLENT: The Netherlands new OA policy seems to be well thought through obc.copim.pub/when-scaling... Policy explicitly recommends redirection & reallocation of funds from existing ‘big deal’ budgets towards community-driven alternatives, incl university-led diamond OA & Netherlands Uni Presses

When 'scaling small' becomes national policy

The Netherlands' new open access strategy echoes the principles the Open Book Collective was built on - 'scaling small' and community-led publishing

I'm looking for my next #job as a software engineer. I have 16 years of experience in web development with technologies like React, Node.js, Typescript and PHP, but I've also used Python and Kotlin. I've worked in remote and distributed teams for many years and I have good communication skills.

Most of the statistical tests you learned in stats class — t-test, ANOVA, correlation — are actually special cases of a single thing: linear regression. Ch 7 of Experimentology argues that thinking in models, not tests, is more flexible and a better foundation for theory. 🧵 experimentology.io

Adding this to my To Read list. Unfortunately, even just the abstract will teach you more than most people know. #OpenScience

New paper! Values such as openness, transparency, collaboration, clarity about conflict of interests have been promoted by women for *decades*, and now we have reframed this around the branding of 'open science' that we start to take them seriously. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Hmmm. The example videos involve #GenAI doing a lot of interpretative work, which is harder to check for inaccuracies than verifiable work like asking for three differentiations for a lesson plan. #GenAI could augment teachers' expertise, but I worry about it black-boxing important interpretations.
