Dear @SwedenAmbPK , Pak Team for @iypt has been trying to secure visa for Sweden to compete. Issuing visas to five 17-yr olds to compete at an elite Physics competition for high-schoolers shouldn't be complicated or hard.
Can you please help so the team can participate?

on #Palestine: people defend israel saying it's reparations to Jewish people for the Holocaust — and yes like I will not hear debate on if reparations were needed for the Holocaust, obviously reparations couldn't even begin to address the horror — BUT (1/?)

There was a totally overlooked trial in @NEJM this week with jaw-dropping results. The question: how should we diagnose diabetes in pregnancy?

Hilarious! Hey @DGlaucomflecken do you want to bring your ophthalmoscope to this one?

Statistical terms: what they really mean
Multicolinearity— they all look the same
Heteroscedasticity— the variation varies
Attenuation— being too modest
Overfitting— too good to be true
Confounding— nothing is what it seems
P-value— it’s complicated
“While the coronavirus has surged, the flu and other respiratory viruses have flickered out...On the virological scoreboard, the only pathogen that’s truly had a good year is the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2.”
