The longer I'm in academia, the more I see a resemblance between our field and professional sports. But I think folks in pro sports understand and embrace the competitive aspect and difficult parts of training in a more honest and healthier way. This advice resonated:

Making it harder for people to vote is not one of the first things autocrats do to undermine democracy. By the time they feel confident or desperate enough to attack the ballot box directly, they have already been very active.

This is hands-down the most intuitive (and elegant) introduction out there to ease your entry into mixed-effects modelling (thanks to @mf_viz) 🙏 mfviz.com/hierarchical-m… Really makes terms like "random intercept" & "random slope" come alive 🕺 #rstats #AcademicTwitter #phdchat

I realllly like this grid from @bmacGTPM, depicting the probability of the ~top 20 players landing in each of the top 20 picks, according to ESPN's NFL Draft Predictor.

Excellent demonstration of how hard it is to forecast the evolution of an epidemic with the number of early cases (huge uncertainty in the exponential path). by @clcrozier

Such an important idea for science: that there is a veil of ignorance separating different levels of description, and each one must be studied in its own right. No field of science is "just an applied version" of some other field. Each level of reality must be respected equally.

You know what would have helped before the crisis, during the crisis and after the crisis? Universal Basic Income.

"profit over lives" was always there -- in the fight against universal health insurance, in the destruction of social safety nets, in the refusal to do anything about climate change. But it's never been spelled out as explicitly as it is now

When Chuck Shuemer says the Democrats are fighting for transparency and oversight in terms of how the $500 billion is spent, that means the GOP is fighting against it. Why would you fight against it if your intentions are not entirely corrupt?

The other problem with the “Damn the experts! Let’s go back to normal & get the economy humming again” crowd is that the approach would prolong the crisis by sustaining the spread and *deepen* the economic woes over the long run. It’s an argument that loses on its own terms.

I do not understand the reluctance to use the federal Defense Production Act to manufacture ventilators. If not now, when?

Trump illegally used money voted for Ukraine for his own unlawful purposes. He was literally impeached for this high crime. And now Trump's Treasury is asking to be entrusted with half a trillion dollars, at whim and in secret, no accounting until after the 2020 election? Madness

At this point, you’ve probably heard a ton about chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine and how they may be effective in treating COVID-19. I wanted to tell you about a different molecule that’s getting less attention but may have good potential – Remdesivir.
