Could programmers from the 80's understand today's code? Could todays programmers understand code from the 80's? My brother, I don't understand my own code from last week. Every line I write is a bespoke bit of spontaneous genius that even I am incapable of deciphering mere days after writing it.

Evidence-based decisions are made on whatever evidence exists, including no evidence. For change to occur, evidence must exist. Therefore make complaints! Report that incident! Send that concerned email! And don't feel any shame or discomfort - you aren't being a bother, you're generating evidence.

NABE strongly condemns the baseless removal of BLS Commissioner McEntarfer & the unfounded accusations leveled against the work of the agency. This unprecedented attack on the US statistical system threatens the long-standing credibility of our data files.constantcontact.com/668faa28001/...

OMG why am I not in person at @cascadiarconf.bsky.social and where have you been all my (teaching) life #LessR? Great presentation by David Gerbing for introducing non-coders to #rstats. Def going to check out his book www.routledge.com/R-Data-Analy.... 💙

🚨 2 DAYS TO GO! 🚨 Cascadia R Conference kicks off this Friday in Portland! Amazing talks, hands-on workshops, and a community that loves R as much as you do. 🗓️ June 20–21 📍 Portland, Oregon 🔗 cascadiarconf.org Who’s ready?! #RStats #DataScience

Check out @rfortherestofus.com presentation on ⭐️ 25 things you didn't know you could do in R ⭐️ from #rstats Cascadia R conf. Tons of stuff I didn't know about even as a longtime R user. So glad I decided to join this last minute. @cascadiarconf.bsky.social

Here's a small good thing you can do all month long. Two, actually. 1. Like, share, and comment on any library post featuring Pride books or messaging that's positive. You can influence the algorithm for good. 2. Write a letter to your library board thanking the library for Pride displays.

Harvard Chan scientists participate in a rigorous application process for federal grants to conduct their vital health research. The government has now terminated nearly every single one of those grants.

🧵 Why Typology Is Strategy—And What Comes Next Fighting disinformation doesn’t start with facts. It starts with clarity. This 11-type, 3D framework helps us define the problem before we act. Because if you can’t name it, you can’t counter it.

🧵 Why Definitions Matter in the Fight Against Disinformation If you want to fight disinfo, you need to know what you’re fighting. And that’s harder than it sounds. Terms like “fake news” are too vague. We need a shared vocabulary—and researchers have built one.

Foreign adversaries are pumping disinformation into our social media networks, but we know very little about the consequences let alone how to ameliorate them. For years, Republicans have harassed us for studying this. Now, NSF has canceled all funding. It’s a profound lapse in national security.
