Bayesian stats trap:📈 A disease has 1% prevalence. A test has 99% sensitivity and 99% specificity. You test 100 people and get exactly one positive. What is the probability that the person who tested positive actually has the disease? #stats #rstats #careful

Sudden spike of interest in my publications. Should I be afraid? (Not a humble-brag. It is REALLY strange to get 42 new citations at once. But they are all distributed over numerous papers and very different research topics.)

When Doris Flores was arrested, she begged officers not to separate her from her baby, Briany: “My girl needs me.” Briany was one of thousands of U.S. citizen kids whose parents ICE detained in Trump’s immigration crackdown. Please read their stories: propub.li/4ti9WpO
Article excerpt: The baby needed somewhere to go. So in the frantic hours before officers took her parents away to immigration detention, her mom turned to their pastor and his wife. As squad cars waited outside the family’s Lakeland, Florida, trailer home, she gave them a crash course in how to care for the 4-month-old.

Briany, with her plump cheeks and full head of dark hair, wasn’t normally this fussy. But it was late that January night — around midnight — and she was still hungry. Her mom, Doris Flores, had tried nursing her to calm her down. It didn’t work. When she brought Briany to her breast, the milk wouldn’t come. Flores thought it had to do with the panic that set in after the officers arrested the baby’s father and told her she was next.Continued article excerpt: The baby also drank formula. The pastor and his wife, who’d never had children of their own, should take her bottles and the yellow cans of formula, too, and follow the instructions on the label. They should use distilled water, never from the tap. Briany drank 5 ounces at each feeding. She needed to eat every two to two-and-a-half hours.

She was almost due for her next round of vaccinations. She was getting big enough for Size 3 diapers. What made her happiest was to be held in someone’s arms.

The Rev. Israel Vázquez, 58, soft-spoken with close-cropped hair, had held Briany before, when he formally presented the baby to God in a ceremony at his Pentecostal church in Lakeland. If he and his wife, a fellow pastor at the church, didn’t take the girls in, they would have to go into foster care. “What else could we do?” he said.

It’s hard to overstate how much blood, sweat and time away from your family goes into the preparation and submission of grant proposals. All for a tiny chance of being selected and pushing the frontier of knowledge. These actions were unconscionable and they will always have been unconscionable.
