I fell in love with a rescue puppy b/c obviously my life needs to be more complicated. 🙄😍
Twitter peeps: what is he? Some sort of Rottweiler mix is my guess but mixed with what? Image
#Guinness update: this puppy has gained almost 6 lbs in 2 weeks, so now in addition to breed guesses I’m taking bets on his adult weight Image
#Guinness update: currently 40 lbs at just over 4 months. I find internet info on dog growth charts to be frustratingly contradictory; where are the dog versions of CDC/WHO growth curves? Image
#Guinness update: now 8 months old, large enough that the children try to ride him like a pony, still has ridiculous teddy bear ears, still haven’t gotten around to genotyping him Image
#Guinness update: I got his breed results from @embarkvet! By far the most common breed guesses have been Rottie/Shar Pei/German Shephard -- which are all in there -- but no one guessed Great Pyrenees ImageImage
@embarkvet Percentage breakdown Image
cc: @PKoellinger — not quite what the rescue place told us!
#Guinness update: He still wants to cuddle me like a baby lap dog, but is not, in fact, a baby lap dog Image

N=1 anecdata from today’s Austin to Houston flight: there was a striking disparity in rates of mask wearing between first-class and economy, which seemed to be only partially accounted for by age
Also: live from Houston airport: not only are bare midriffs back but so are visible belly rings
It’s good for me to leave my house occasionally so I can feel old and mystified and then can retreat back to my house in peace

"When opposing groups of intelligent, highly educated, competent scientists continue over many years to disagree, and even to wrangle bitterly, about an issue they regard as important, it must sooner or later become obvious that the disagreement is a not a factual one...
... and that it cannot be resolved by calling to the attention of the members of one group (or even of the other) the existence of new data which will make them see the light...
... Further, it becomes increasingly obvious that there are no possible crucial experiments that would cause one group of antagonists to abandon their point of view in favor of the other group...

"not having SATs/ACT scores to consider tends to raise socioeconomic barriers to demonstrating readiness for our education"

an interesting development: MIT reinstates its SAT/ACT requirement. worth reading the footnotes.

mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/we…
Really important point here: Yes, SAT scores are correlated with SES, but *so is everything else.*
Featuring a quote from this paper by @bendomingue and colleagues: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Wonder which universities/programs are going to be the first to change course on #GRExit ...

In this review, @Graham_Coop & @molly_przew allege that "it is hard not to interpret the book as saying that most of these GWAS effects are natural causes residing inside the brain, thereby nudging the reader towards genetic determinism". Let's take a look at what the book says!
@Graham_Coop @molly_przew The entirety of Chapter 5 is about the counterfactual definitions of causation, *and the boundaries of that definition*, including statements such as:
There's this, on the dangers of genetic determinism for sapping political will to address social inequality:

ignorant Q for the philosophy crowd:

Are there modern / recent philosophers who argue that (1) no you don't have free will but (2) yes you are morally responsible anyway?
not Dennett, not a compatabilist

is there a modern Calvin, a hardcore determinist who believes you couldn't have done otherwise, and also a retributivist who believes you are morally responsible and deserve to be punished
(thank you for your patience as I struggle to make sense of the landscape)

I really enjoyed this conversation with @laurahercher. Starting at about 22 min in, we talk about PGS effect sizes, their (lack of) portability, and why I think we should still be taking them seriously

beaglelanded.com/podcasts/kathr…
@laurahercher featuring a shout-out to @familyunequal who posted this graph about the correlation between educational attainment and income (r2 = 16%)
speaking of this graph, wonder what folks think about this as an approach to illustrating PGS associations? @ent3c, I know you loathe decile plots, but what if in addition to the average phenotype by PGS decile, one also showed the cloud of individual points?
