I'd done my best to try to gauge and predict the #future ā€”that may sound outlandish, but I feel like it's been forced upon me (and the whole Pnictogen Wing). the pace of human events has grown antic and absurd to a degree I never imagined possible even *ten years ago*.

(1/x)
in its characteristic doublethinkful way, Western society both *disparages* fortune-telling as complete rubbishĀ AND makes an enormous #profit off the game of pretending to tell the #future. most of #business and #finance and #investment propaganda is about fortune-telling.

(2/x)
they call it "economic forecasting" but...it's fortune-telling. it's pretending to have a "scientific" or "objective" grasp of how the future is likely to unfold, based on sophisticated #computer models which people like @JeffDean and @fchollet believe *more than reality*.

Most of my research published this year (20+ papers) was work from home šŸ”.

Here are 4 ways you can publish great papers:
šŸ§µ
#1 Online questionnaire projects

We rely on virtual apps for daily information exchange.

Utilize great survey-making tools like #Google forms AND everyday #socialmedia apps for creating and sharing your #survey.

šŸ’”Projects exploring perceptions or barriers are a great start!
#2 Review articles

One of the highest forms of research evidence out there that don't require ethical approval.

Systematic Reviews, Narrative Reviews, & Scoping Reviews are the ones to go for šŸŽÆ

šŸ’”These projects are best conducted with experienced team members.

1/4 Three #polls

Iā€™m going to do a brief video soon on messaging.

But first I want to get a few polls* on what those following my account feel themselves šŸ‘‡

(*yes, I know thereā€™s a margin for trolling, as always. šŸ˜‚)
2/4 When Iā€™ve said Iā€™m ā€œcautiously optimisticā€ regarding context of metabolic fat-adaptation, you take that asā€¦

1) Iā€™m very confident LDL is of no concern.

2) I donā€™t know if LDL is of concern in this context, it very well could be. But I current lean toward the optimistic.
3/4 True or false-

I think you should listen/read only resources coming from those skeptical that LDL causes heart disease.

FOLKSā€”Polling sucks. Amateur-ā€œproā€-political polls as we know itā€”is done. Polls had said Biden led FL w/ 70% chance of winningā€”it became a wide Trump win.

āž”ļøMost pollsters have no expertise in adv epidemiology & biostatistics. I would change it.šŸ§µ #polls thehill.com/homenews/mediaā€¦
2) Many epidemiologists have long worried political polling is overconfident, uncertainties underestimated, & state/local factors poorly adjusted. Now weā€™re seeing it play outā€”again.

I know someone who paid $25k for what ended up as crap n=400 poll thatā€™s worthless.
3) Many sources of unaccounted for uncertainties in polls:

šŸ“ŒSAMPLING (landline vs cell vs other?)

šŸ“ŒRESPONSE BIAS (shy respondent)

šŸ“ŒTURNOUT MODEL ASSUMPTIONS (who shows up)

šŸ“ŒSTATISTICAL WEIGHTING adds extra variance (error)

šŸ“ŒUNDERSAMPLING minorities for reliable weights

Waiting in line to #vote? Waiting for #polls to close? Need 1 min of icy entertainment this #Election2020?

Enjoy this compilation of the sounds made by pure ice boreholes in #Antarctica. šŸ•³šŸ§ŠšŸ‡¦šŸ‡¶šŸ”Š
Written explainer at the link. TLDR:
1) As ice scrapes down hole, Doppler effect decreases sound frequency
2) "Ricochet" is sound of ice hitting bottom coming up at varying speed
3) "Heartbeat" is set by 320 m/sec speed of sound reverberating up/down hole

Trump is TERRIFIED of losing.

He wants to make Dems think there's no point in voting.

Good piece by #Maine political science professor @ASFried: #SusanCollins told CNN she won't say whether she supports Trump's reelection b/c she's in a tight race:

ā€œIn parts of the state President Trump is very popular, in parts of the state heā€™s very unpopular." thread
.@ASFried: #SusanCollins's refusal to say if she'll vote for Trump contrasts sharply w/ her 2016 statement saying she thought he was unsuitable for office b/c he failed to treat people w/ respect, "an idea that should transcend politics.ā€

Not any more.
#SusanCollins recently said she was forthright w/ #Maine voters about Trump in '16 because she ā€œwas not up for re-election."

1>She didn't let that stop her in previous years when she was running in a pres election year.

2>Is there anything more Collins than that? @ASFried

1/ Any analysis of Trump (ym'sh) must implicitly understand - if not overtly state - that he's a career criminal AND he fits the profile of a malignant narcissist (as asserted by his niece). There's no long-term thinking; he's all desperate & predictable need.
2/ Furthermore, any analysis of the election (& pandemic) must overtly state that 35-40% of the public exclusively watches FoxNews and are thus immersed in non-factual propaganda

Using this fact as a starting point shows why most of the 'fundamentals' are unreliable
3/ #Polls should have as a screening question: "where do you get your news" If it's "only Fox" (& equivalents, like Facebook) then I would suggest those voters need to be coded as resistant to fundamentals. The don't know the causes of the bad economy, mass death etc

July Fox News #poll: ā€œ#Biden is preferred over Trump among extremely motivated voters (+8 points), those extremely likely to vote (+9) and those who feel it is extremely important their candidate wins (+13)." foxnews.com/opinion/trump-ā€¦
.@FoxNews polls have "found that a larger share of voters strongly disapprove of President Trump than strongly approve in every single poll we have taken since inauguration day. This strong disapproval is driven by Democrats." #polls #polling
In most recent quarter, #Biden raked in $16 million more than Trump & added 2.6 million donors. 97% of Biden's $$ is from grassroots donors.

Hey folks: I wanted to share something @apmresearch just released that Iā€™m very proud of:

Our VOTER PROFILE TOOLS, as part of our broader #RepresentingUS project. (Read: A wealth of data to understand the US electorate in interactive @tableau tools.)
apmresearchlab.org/representingusā€¦
@APMResearch @tableau 2/
We at @apmresearch released these tools on #IowaCaucus day, but expect that they will be valuable up until the #2020election & beyondā€”to understand how eligible voters differā€”often dramaticallyā€”from state to state & in each congressional district.

apmresearchlab.org/representingusā€¦
@APMResearch @tableau 3/
Already Iā€™ve read numerous #media stories about the #IowaCaucuses & #NewHampshirePrimary saying those states donā€™t reflect the nationā€™s #demographics, but the #journalists didnā€™t include any data as to HOW they differed and to what degree.

Interesting evening spent with 4 senators at a very small gathering. LOTS of optimismā€”fueled by internal #poll dataā€”that we will flip the Senate.

Maine: @SenatorCollins is DOWN by 2 points. Her #Kavanaugh vote decimated her approval rating ā€” she went from 57 to the upper-30ā€™s.šŸ˜Ž
Senate breakdown is 53 @GOPā€”47 @SenateDems + Independent.

@DougJones faces a tough re-election bid, but @jeffsessions may split the anti-Roy Moore vote. If Moore wins the primary, Jones has a great chance.

If Jones loses, we need 4-5 seats to flipā€”4 if we win @POTUS, 5 if not.
In Colorado, @CoryGardner is in BIG trouble. John @Hickenlooper leads by 12 points!

In #NC, @ThomTillis is literally polling in the toilet (approval rating in the 20ā€™s!), so another great pickup opportunity for @TheDemocrats.šŸ˜Ž
