+1 for #medsky labeller.

Want to dip your toe into #programming? This free 6 hour intro to #Rstats online curriculum is a great entry point and we get good feedback when teaching it to researchers. Don't worry about the 'for ecologists' bit, that's just the flavour of dataset. #academicsky #research #science

I finished my conference presentation for #AROICON2024 exactly 1 week before the 📅 !

#RStats folks please share your favourite resources for jazzing up your #quarto #revealjs presentations.

I wonder if they would have invented cooking if they had been evolved to live on land instead of water. www.popsci.com/dolphins-thr... #dolphins #octopus #MarineSky

Beautiful explanation of why using bar plots for representing summary stats is a bad idea.

interesting research on using LLMs for guiding #bcsm #BreastCancer #EBRT #radonc decision-making for three types of cases for breast radiotherapy. Not surprised that these "stochastic parrots" don't know what they are spewing out. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.11.24317123v1

This is important people. I had used it over firefox since the past year .

Why are people surprised / shocked by this. The whole purpose of a for profit insurance company is to generate profits for its shareholders. Denying claims is the only way to maximize profitability. Its is absolutely bonkers that we think private insurance will somehow be "fair".

There is no better example of a failed healthcare system driven by profit. sadly it is the role model for many countries especially #India

Thrilled to join so many child & public health advocates on #BlueSky. It is a tragedy that the variation in life expectancy at birth by census tract in the U.s. spans 40 years and the U.S. life expectancy lags other developed countries. #publichealth

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.

Question for #visualization #Rstats #ggolot2 folks what is the best visualization that can be used to show differences in proportion of grades (ordinal 4 levels) of toxicity reported by patients and clinicians ?

Huge cohort A total of 11,010,764 births before & 7,060,626 births during the pandemic were analysed. The number of births with a congenital heart condition increased from 56.5 per 100k births pre pandemic to 65.4 per 100k births after pandemic year 1 - a 16% increase.

Ok this is niche but if you are looking for a QR Code generator and are modestly adept at #RStats then there is a package for that thierryo.github.io/qrcode/ . Works very well with #posterdown package to create better posters.

Finally- the starter pack we have all been waiting for is here … Hematopoiesis 🎉❤️🩸🦴 So excited to have reached a critical mass of this community on here. 🙌🏻 Let me know if you want to be added!! go.bsky.app/KWdX5w7
