Media: Planning to write stories on vaccines? Consider using stock photos SELF put together for showing vaccines in a positive light, Not sharp needles and babies crying Vaccines are so much more than how they are administered. They represent health and prevention.

About half of #systemsbiology models fail to directly reproduce #simulation results! Over the past 3 years we investigated >450 models published in 152 journals & identified the root cause for the lack of #reproducibility. Read our #biorxiv_sysbio article doi.org/10.1101/2020.0…

Statistical terms: what they really mean Multicolinearity— they all look the same Heteroscedasticity— the variation varies Attenuation— being too modest Overfitting— too good to be true Confounding— nothing is what it seems P-value— it’s complicated
