U.S. mines produced $106 billion in nonfuel #mineral commodities in 2024—an estimated $1 billion increase from 2023. Minerals play a critical role, contributing to products valued at over $4 trillion, or about 1/7 of the American economy. 👉ow.ly/JHpY50USJzE

At MIT, class 2.737 (Mechatronics) is proving that the most powerful design tool isn’t a computer, it’s a pen and paper. Prof. David Trumper teaches students to think across disciplines, blending mechanics and electronics to create groundbreaking designs. mitsha.re/SGVS50VcWri

You've heard of the studies where they give the same dataset/research question to a bunch of researchers and they tend to get different answers, right? Why is that? This new working paper shows that it has a lot to do with data cleaning. This is consistent with Gelman's
