If you see a statistic online, try asking two questions: What’s included in the data? What might be missing? In this episode of How to Tell the Truth With Statistics, Dr. Megan Price explains why those questions are the key to spotting bias in data. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bqp...

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

News that wiki editors are facing threats from Musk and the Heritage Foundation because of “bias” should be raising alarm bells for platforms that rely on user moderation (basically all of them, but Reddit esp. since its mods have come under fire recently).

Much how-to safety work and rights material has been drafted for specific constituencies and often we don’t fit into those categories as cleanly. lots of historical reasons why. Read widely and broadly to see what you personally can use.

“Social media is The New Public Square!” was always bankrupt and hollow. It was a lazy, ahistorical analogy by grandiose founders desperate to prove a path to $$$, not an accurate model of social media’s role in the democratic process. A really damaging idea. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“It only works, though, if politicians and other Americans agree to pretend that X actually is America’s “public square,” something it wasn’t before Musk bought it and something that is even less the case now. The real power of the people is the power people surrender to those who claim it.”

My experience with 'tech for good' boils down two things I'd like to discuss at large: 1. efficiency is not the same as legitimacy. 2. emergency is a bad time for emergence.
