My 2nd “written by witten” column is out. Thanks to @InstMathStat for giving me a platform. Also, I hope the fact that it was published on April 1 doesn’t detract from the gravitas of this piece! https://t.co/wWpJaTFAum

I am often asked how it is that I can talk openly about my work & myself on here, without being afraid of negative feedback. This is an important question, and the answer is: practice. A short thread on how I’m learning to embrace critique and criticism.

#SARS2019p CFR Interesting how much Italy is an outlier. Lots of testing, age structure, not overwhelm healthcare system, public health response, & intangibles seem to lead to the lower cluster of 0.5-1.5%

In this local COVID-19 talk I gave yesterday, I provided background, summarized and interpreted the main findings of our analysis of 25,000+ cases in Wuhan. I provided several take home messages and practical recommendations, especially for handling the situation in US

From the first issue of the HDSR Radu Craiu (@rvcraiu) shares the highs and very highs of searching for and hiring in @UofTStatSci that elusive Data Scientist who has her/his feet firmly and expertly planted in two fields. https://t.co/gWNJJJ8O30

An interesting study reported in @nature based on analysis of more than 65 million papers, patents and software products, showing that smaller teams tend to produce disruptive new ideas and concepts, whereas larger teams tend to develop existing ones. https://t.co/d1c6BsHNuC

A rapid rise (from 25 to 60% since the 1960s) of scientists who spend their entire career only as supporting authors without having led a publication. The fraction of entering researchers who achieve full careers has diminished. The class of temporary scientists has escalated.
A growing number of scientists publish once and disappear from the record, suggesting that they have left academia. Article source: https://t.co/KEyA6UpjXR
