This is a must-read three-pager to just try to cool down and think rationally about all the wild claims of machine learning and AI "cracking key mathematical puzzles" and solving Navier-Stokes equations, etc. Bravo to the authors! 👏 I'm thinking of this shameless clickbait when scare-quoting "cracking key mathematical puzzles." The hype is deafening.

Now out! New report examines Reproducibility and Replicability in Science, with recommendations for researchers, agencies, policy makers, journals, etc.

#ReproducibilityInScience @theNASEM Terms like “reproducibility” and “replicability” are sometimes used as an umbrella word to encompass all related concerns. But often, researchers use each term to refer to a distinct concept. #ReproducibilityInScience

Five hours in @Reagan_Airport and still here; twice rebooked due to thunderstorms—hope I make it to Boston tonight for tomorrow's IEEE #reproducibility workshop. As the @IEEEorg steps into the #reproducibility discussion, I'm really hoping they'll pay attention to terminology—"Terminologies for Reproducible Research" arxiv.org/abs/1802.03311

Tuesday morning, at #JupyterPopup DC, I'll give a preview of "Flipped Learning with Jupyter," my joint #JupyterCon talk with @RobertTalbert jupyter-pop-up-dc.eventbrite.com Two weeks later, I'll give a somewhat related talk at #OpenedX2018: "Jupyter-based courses in Open edX: authoring and grading with notebooks" sched.co/EUAl #Jupyter
