If you are at the @dvpw.bsky.social #Dreiländertagung getting up early tomorrow is worth it to come to the panel on "Science, Research, and Methods" which I have the pleasure of chairing where @markus-gastinger.eu, @paulbederke.bsky.social, @dielea.bsky.social and others will present exciting work.

Our cat has started collecting data to replicate the Abraham Wald discovery of survivorship bias. With this study design, she might actually get IRB approval for that.

(German) Academia edition of this modern classic

Picture of an edited version of a post by Joanna Maciejewska applying the content to the context of German academia. The edited text reads: You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction. I want AI to do my Reisekostenformular so that I can do my data analysis and writing, nit for AI to do my data analysis and writing so that I can do my Reisekostenformular. In the original, instead of 1 - Reisekostenformular and 2- data analysis, the text was 1- laundry and dishes and 2 - art.

Every year for Karneval, Cologne essentially turns into Manhattan in "Escape from New York". So, maybe next year, my costume should be Snake Plissken.
