It's sort of funny that "sports" is the first place you went to when seeing a quantitative analysis.

Why did @thexylom.com, a science news outlet, cover the No Kings rallies?
For one, a lot of the protesters appeared to be alarmed by the direction of American science, health, environment, and climate policy.
Two, it was important to bring our quantitative rigor to estimate protest activity.

I was told once, many ages ago, to avoid any quantitative analysis you saw in law journals
"The study [by Lewis and Usmani] appeared in the American Journal of Law & Equality, a journal...staffed by Harvard Law School faculty and students. The journal has at least two faculty editors review each submission and does not use external peer review" 😩😩😩
A few weeks ago, Malcolm Gladwell made the media rounds arguing the U.S. should double its number of police officers. In interviews with Oprah, the New Yorker, Fox News Radio, and elsewhere, he cited a study by two Harvard professors to support his claim.

One thing I learned from doing formal coursework in this stuff is that sometimes trying to make inferences from rudimentary data analysis is worse than eschewing quantitative analysis entirely

I'm requiring students in my quantitative research design course to submit replication packages so I'm spending my Saturday night configuring my R environment for 15 different student projects and you know what? It's worth it. I would/will do it again.

understand that they must attend to the quantitative aspect of things -- the basic statistics, the main percentages and the quantitative limits that determine the qualities of things. They have no "figures" in their heads and as a result cannot help making mistakes.

Super cool study on the evolution of collective behavior in fish!
Nice merge of comparative phylogenetic methods with quantitative behavior.

How and why does collective behavior evolve? Despite decades of interest and a lot of hypotheses, we've had a hard time settling on a solid answer. My recent research takes us a step in that direction. Published today in PNAS with @akfbio.bsky.social and amazing collaborators not on bluesky! 🧵

"Have a head for figures." That is to say, we must attend to the quantitative aspect of a situation or problem and make a basic quantitative analysis. Every quality manifests itself in a certain quantity, and without quantity there can be no quality. To this day many of our comrades still do not

One of the proposed changes is to update the NBC reference documents from the 2016 to the 2025 version of the CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. However, I was shocked to find that the proposal did not include any qualitative or quantitative impact analysis (cost-benefit).
