What a great read! Well-written, much-needed (!!), guidance paper from all the clinical prediction modeling greats Ben Van Calster Gary Collins Andrew Vickers Laure Wynants @laurewynants.bsky.social Maarten van Smeden Ewout Steyerberg et al. arxiv.org/abs/2412.10288

Really fed up with ITV News. I did a pre-recorded interview in which I expressed strong scepticism about the 'coffee only good in the morning' story. But they cut all that out, leaving me apparently supporting their credulous story. I really should not be so naive.

Do not write 'Abstract', but use Pumping elephant from now on! I applaud these authors for their creativity. Abstract, so boring! A pumping elephant is more interesting! Springer Nature did retract this paper, I wonder why... doi.org/10.1007/s11356…

Academics are paid nothing for peer review. Yet journals made a total of over $8.3 billion on article processing charges alone between 2019-2023. Make it make sense.

And officially, only Frontiers and MDPI are predatory.

What did you expect given the size of the human generated junk science training set?

Dit soort stukken zijn de reden waarom ik als progressief op een gegeven moment afscheid genomen heb van de huidige Vlaamse linkerzijde, die bestaat uit 3 partijen (één reactionaire, één dogmatische en één autoritaire), veel vzw´s ("het middenveld") en daaraan gekoppelde

Do retracted papers count for the university rankings?🤔

Thousands of highly cited scientists have at least one retraction: Database shows that researchers with retracted papers had higher self-citation rates and published more than those without retractions buff.ly/412FBAb

Christine Hannes Uniefs en hogescholen moeten vooral leren wat minder onderzoek te produceren, maar wel beter (en scholen dus wat minder lastig te vallen). Als jullie zelf niet direct het grote nut inzien van een betr. onderzoek, weiger je best (is ook in belang vd wetenschap).

Setting up a clinical trial... Funding body be like: got ethics? Ethics committee be like: got funding?

The Growing Problem of Retraction Evasion Some unethical researchers and publishers evade retractions—a practice where withdrawn or discredited papers are republished in different journals with minimal changes. This means that fraudulent research remains in the scientific

OH MY FUCKING GOD. YOUR ENTIRE BUSINESS RUNS ON MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF UNPAID LABOUR YOU HYPOCRITICAL SHITGIBBONS.

Als het een 1e keer was, tot daartoe. Maar *systematisch* trekt de Stad Leuven zich níets aan van de natuurwaarde en van soortbescherming bij de Vrienden Parkabdij. Naast dit geval, maaide men enkele jaren geleden de middendijken waar een nest van woudaap (een zeldzame reiger) zat 4/n

PROBAST+AI is out! This is "a comprehensive tool that allows to assess the trustworthiness, value, fairness, quality, risk of bias and applicability of prediction models" (probast.org) bmj.com/content/388/bm…

What a great day yesterday! 🎉 Dr. Shan Gao and Dr. Elena Albu elena albu successfully defended their PhDs on the dynamic prediction of CLABSI using EHR data. A huge milestone after four years of dedicated research!

What are the chances of five authors from Harvard's Computer Science department all submit papers to the same journal on the same date? Been looking at Computer Reviews (buff.ly/xvnuZLJ). All of the articles from their latest issue (Vol. 7(4)) have EXACTLY the same
