Which should tell you something about Birdchan.
Anyway, repost to support an indie transgender tech writer and journalist! ✍️🍕🏳️‍⚧️

BBC News LabsHi, we are BBC News Labs #introduction
We’re charged with driving innovation for BBC News. Our team of technologists and journalists explore how new tools and formats affect how news is found and reported.
You can find out more at https://bbcnewslabs.co.uk/ and we’ll be posting here about our work
This account is part of an experiment from BBC R&D in establishing a BBC presence in the Fediverse.
James GleickI see people here asking us to follow them over to #Threads. I don’t understand that. I’m asking people at Threads to follow me over here, where we’re free from ads and algorithms.
Johann Sebastian Staedtler 🇨🇦Hypothesis: The Fediverse consists almost entirely of adults.
I expect most youths are drawn to the large corporate social networks; but those of us who took the effort to come here have likely experienced the Internet before most of those existed.
Of course, the only way to test this is by collecting data using the most scientifically rigorous method available to me: a Mastodon poll, lol
(I expect this will only reach English-speaking Fedi, but do boost if you're able)
⬇️ What is your age? ⬇️
Less than 18 years old
18 to 27 years old
28 to 39 years old
40 or more years old
Poll ended at .
BeeCycling has movedAttention! I recently learned that the behaviour of lying flat out on the belly with arms and legs spread out that some animals do, often to cool off, by radiating heat into the cooler ground, is called "splooting." I personally have been calling it "going full rug", but I guess splooting is also hilarious. So here's a red panda splooting, in case you need a demonstration. #RedPanda
Dr Pieter PeachWho are the #epidemiologists and infectious disease #modellers on Mastodon?
Will update this list as I come across them & if you “favourite” or “boost” this toot you will be updated every time there is an addition.
This helps create an “Epidemiology/Modellers” list on mastodon to browse their focused stream.
List so far:

Carl T. Bergstrom11. There is a lot of other great stuff in the paper as well.
There's a sophisticated discussion of more subtle issues around confounds, colliders, etc.; well-articulated critique of some commonly used algorithmic fairness criteria such as independence and separation; and detailed case studies.
I learned a ton from this paper. Tonight I read it for the third time, and urge anyone interested in fairness, bias, disparity, causal inference, and related issues to take the time to read it as well.
