If I make it to your book talk on Friday, we can have a hug about it, if you like. I know that's not enough, but it's what I can offer.

Im Wikipediaartikel zur #CoronaWarnApp werden die Scienceblogs zwar kurz erwähnt, aber da die Quelle umgezogen ist, ist der Link in der Fußnote 94 kaputt. Vielleicht kann das jemand mit Wikipediazugang korrigieren? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona-Warn-App

Thanks a lot. I put SO much effort into this over the years, only to then see it all ruined when the various companies I was working for (ScienceBlogs and Scientific American) just deleted or lost stuff wholesale.

If an account called ScienceBlogs can't identify obvious confounding variables, or understand association =/= causation, we shouldn't be surprised when the public is swayed by fallacious arguments about increased vaccines and autism rates.

TIL: the once venerable ScienceBlogs was bought out in 2018 by a red pilled Web2.0 activist who now uses the platform to argue with peculiar shrillness that the real ideologues of anti-science are those who are on the left side of American politics. It’s wild.
