Proud dad! Assistant professor at U Waterloo. Health Data DRIVEN Lab. R lover. Views are my own.

Normalmente no me pronuncio, pero... que se use una de mis publicaciones científicas como justificación ideológica para el discurso del odio me parece de una desfachatez insolente. Nuestro trabajo no tiene nada que ver con el género.
Pese a los woke de la ideología de género... la verdad siempre será la biología. Sexually dimorphic differences in angiogenesis markers are associated with brain aging trajectories in humans | Science Translational Medicine

Full circle. As a biologist, I specialized in agrifood (food production) during my bachelor but never used it for anything else than growing my garden... Now I am getting cited by titles like: Genetics of faba bean yield and yield stability. 🤷♂️ Love this. https://t.co/c7Z15ahtL3

Faba bean is a globally adapted legume protein crop with a high yield potential. Currently, yield variation across environments limits more widespread cultivation and the underlying genetics remain...

At @AMIAinformatics for the next few days. We start with the use of LLMs for analysis of social media health data! A quick thought, stop using ChatGPT API and go through open and free options @oll

The informal poll results are in, & as I feared, most people are running ANOVAs in #R with functions that can give highly misleading (or flat out wrong) results. Follow along to see why using anova() and aov() is usually inadvisable & why you should be using car::Anova() 🧵

My lab is on the lookout for a new post-doc to do research on spinal motion analysis and paraspinal muscle quality. Send me an email if you are working on wrapping up your PhD this year and are interested.

New study sheds light on some potential underpinnings of #reproducibility issues in #SCI research. “Reporting selective subsets of data may unintentionally sway results to more desirable outcomes, potentially obscuring true effect sizes” 🔗 https://t.co/hGXlzJRgDZ

És una vergonya i crea un precedent perillós. Al voltant de 270.000 habitants a la comarca sense cobertura per l hospitalització pediàtrica.
🏥@matarocat i @CATAC_IAC confirmen el tancament transitori d’hospitalitzacions pediàtriques a l’Hospital de #Mataró. Segons el sindicat majoritari del @CSdMaresme, l’hospital ha ordenat aturar els ingressos d'infants al centre per falta de professionals. 🗣️ @LauraSeijo7,

Academia: Come on in! I'm a loophole in the universe where you can spend your days reading, thinking & studying crazy ideas. Nothing you try has to work or be useful, just have fun! Academics: no thank you we prefer boring safe projects with a high likelihood of being published
