This week's #TidyTuesday is about Doctor Who :tardis: and in this screencast I show how to use empirical Bayes to estimate the rating for different episode writers:
I try to be very positive and cheerful about my profession: teaching. It's a fluffing tough job and you have to see the best in it - every lesson, every day, every student. And it can be the most rewarding and important job a person could do. But, my goodness, today was a challenge. When your leaders don't seem to care about their staff and are actively making it more difficult for you, you just get worn down. But. Tomorrow is a new day. Always. #Teaching#Education#edutooter@edutooters

I’m not a teacher but close family members have been, so I offer this:
On particularly bad days when you’re sure you can't possibly cope, it can sometimes help to remind yourself that your track record for getting through bad days so far is 100%.

I added this message, to actually my actually autistic group and book group for relevancy of book by Fred Roger’s.
The message may seem ableist to some in my group, but at the end of the day, “We are in all this together”. ♾️❤️
Question: what books are really effective at body language or the different little beats in long stretches of dialogue? My current novel is dialogue-heavy, and I'm looking for more examples of how other writers make these scenes memorable.
@emilymbender@Iris Being in AI/data science and having a background in methodology, I miss an epistemological evaluation, besides the question if AI can emerge from language, or what is the big(O) of AI. 1/2
Epistemology can be very technical, but modern virtue epistemology is very accessible. It can help to reflect on both the core of the debate, and on the quality of the debate.
Academic culture, inclusivity and the crisis in the social sciences are hotly debated. Virtue epistemology also touches upon that, or on any intellectual endeavor.
"The main and interesting conclusion in the abstract is that of the 45% of alumni not continuing in academic research, one third does industry research and one third is in a science-related profession."
@IanSudbery@copdeb@cyclotopie@cyrilpedia@academicchatter of course, that doesn’t guarantee awardees will land in a secure position, and it would be good to have an analysis, but - I would be surprised if most DP5 awardees aren’t in stable, even TT jobs.
It would be interesting to hear how many of these institutions do offer a TT position.
I think for the equivalent Wellcome ECF program, a proleptic appointment is fairly rare, although not unheard of - we have an ECF with a proleptic, although they had already done a (short) postdoc before getting the ECF.
