I'm working on a column about the tech annoyances that drive us crazy, and I want it to be as universal as possible, so tell me yours! E.g. scanning a QR code to read a menu, never receiving the one-time passcode they supposedly texted you, "verify you're human" by IDing tiny motorcycles, etc.

I nonni contano… ma non migliorano i voti a scuola

Uno studio delle università di Bologna e Vienna rivela: la presenza dei nonni è fondamentale per la gestione quotidiana delle famiglie, ma non incide sul rendimento scolastico dei nipoti

There’s a debate to be had about reforming the academic peer review system. At #ESR, I see real improvements in article quality thanks to reviewers' feedback. But the process places a heavy burden on editors, reviewers and authors. And I agree, perhaps we do submit and publish too much. #peerreview

Dustin Avent-Holt@daventholt.bsky.social · 2y ago

Interesting idea, and I can see benefits relative to existing system. Makes me wonder though if part of the problem is also that we are just publishing too much. theconversation.com/the-peer-rev...

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

Vincent D'Onofrio & @vincentdonofrio Pigs can't look up. But I could pick a pig up one night and raise it into the sky and tilt this pig ever so gentle. I can make sure this pigs eyes line up with the stars. Imagine seeing the stars 4the first time.l want 2b treated that kindly and see the stars for the first time.

Someone recently posted a link to a livecam of a watering hole in a park in Namibia and it reminded me that when I could only see my students on zoom during COVID, I made them a long list of animal livecams to help their brains. This seems like a good time to re-share it! Enjoy, I hope it helps.

So in my field, we have this idea of “total survey error” where we enumerate all the many factors that can cause your estimate to deviate from the true population value. Most of them can’t be measured or quantified except in rare situations. But we tend to approach estimates with this in mind.
