Science girl No, not correct. 😁 When you jump up on a vehicle that’s traveling at a constant velocity, you don’t fall off because you and the vehicle are moving at the same speed. According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object will remain in uniform motion.

Simpson’s Paradox is a fascinating statistical phenomenon where the relationship between two variables can completely change when a third variable is considered. This often leads to contradictory conclusions if not carefully analyzed. For example, in a data set, you might see a

Jongwon's Jongwon Kang 1st publication from his PhD research is free OA. Effect of planting date and N timing on N2O emissions (modelled using DNDC). One takeaway is that earlier planting reduces N2O emissions regardless of your chosen N timing (at-planting vs. V6). 1/5

Great presenting today with Ben Rosser at the EOCC. For those interested in measuring ammonia loss using dositubes, Corteva has published the protocol as a Field Fact. We tried to make it as simple as possible while maintaining accuracy. corteva.showpad.com/share/hLXU5C3n…
