Federal statistical agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics need proper funding to accurately measure and track our fast-paced economy. Access to quality and timely data ➡️ better #evidencebased decisions

This is going to hurt rural America - and poor Americans. Dismantling impartial data gathering and analysis is like anti infrastructure spending. Derpcon 1.

Emissions from eastern China account for at least 40–60% of the global rise in trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) emissions since 2013, according to a Nature study. This rise is contrary to the Montreal Protocol agreement to phase out CFC production and use. go.nature.com/2WmBFJY

Great progress from @NIRHresearch. It means that the largest national funder of clinical research in Europe will now look at whether a researcher has registered & reported past trials when deciding whether to grant new funds. Every funder should follow this lead.

Really cool work on helping kids become more numerate through experiencing (and playing with) data. Thanks @Butterworthy and @SenseScienceUSA

Great thread - flags pretty pretty much everything that can go wrong with trial design and reporting, using a crap trial as example
-> use as #stats or #EBM teaching tool?
