A beautiful new story in Forefront today about the care provided by our AYA team for one young woman w/ lymphoma. Even more special? She's a colleague, a nurse in our ER, who then nominated her team for Wish Upon a Wedding's Shining Star Award! Read more at www.uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/ca...
Moreover, these funds serve the public interest. Universities do things private companies with research capacities cannot: train research talent, conduct basic research with uncertain payoffs, and distribute knowledge as a public good. And the rewards have been enormous. Everything from the internet to pharmaceutical and health care innovations evolved from such investments. We are richer and healthier for the investment.
The trope that universities are "dependent" on the federal government fundamentally misunderstands how vital this partnership has been for the US. The private sector can't replace it. If we kill it, we're all worse off. From @donmoyn.bsky.social and me: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/are-univer...

Consort diagrams (or participant flow diagrams) are really helpful documents for concisely showing the flow of participants in your study, allowing data users to more easily interpret sample sizes. I highly recommend creating these for every study.

Last night, we had a textbook auroral substorm expansion up here in Fairbanks. Just beautiful. Growth phase arc --> beads --> breakup with north-south streamers --> PBI --> pulsating/diffuse patchy aurora. It's just so satisfying when the patterns you study play out exactly like they're supposed to.

New blog post up: do you really need to use a vector database for embeddings? For casual projects, the answer is no.
Not only can you store embeddings portably as a Parquet file, but you can also save/load them extremely easily using Polars! minimaxir.com/2025/02/embe...

Senator Ted Cruz recently released a database of more than 3000 NSF grants that he says misappropriated taxpayer money by spending it on "woke DEI" research.
So why do grants that seemingly have nothing to do with woke ideology contain words such as "underrepresented"?

Atleast in this short timeline view, the trend gives credence to the overhiring theory. Big Tech overhired and is slowly sloughing off the workforce as part of squeezing more efficiency

Say goodbye to the US as the best place in the world to be a scientist. 🧪
With the right processes, aluminum can be infinitely recycled.
In practice, every metric ton of "primary" aluminum produced by electrolysis of alum ores produces ~3.86 tons of "secondary" aluminum with only 5% of the energy input.
Recycling rates, globally, are nearly 80%.
