cartoon - cynical approach to data observations --> papers

charts - Recent high rates of publications and new co-authors. PDFs of publication rates (a,b), new co-author rates (d,e) and co-authors per publication (g,h). The evolution of PDFs with career length for T2 data is shown in c, f and i.

charts - Anomalous numbers in the metrics. normalized PDFs of: (a) publication rate versus new co-authorship rate. (b) Career length of T2 and NL. (c) Number of co-authors versus career length. (d) Number of publications versus career length. (e) h-index per publication versus co-author rate. (f) Citations per publication versus co-author rate. (g) h-index per publication versus publication rate. (h) Citations per publication versus publication rate.

#New #presidential #polls #affirm: #NorthCarolina isn’t really a #RedState

Just in time for the #DemocraticNationalConvention in #Chicago, the latest #NewYorkTimes/#SienaCollege #poll showed what seemed #implausible just weeks ago: the #Democratic #nominee has a real #chance at #winning #NorthCarolina.

Streetart. A cute beige dog has been painted with chalk on a gray sidewalk. The dog is sitting up to its chest in a rectangular (painted) hole in the sidewalk and looks up at us from below with a look of amazement. Behind him are countless green and yellow tennis balls. Title: "Rufus is deeply concerned to hear that you've lost another ball."

Think a killer #heatwave won't hit you?

"Looking at historical data from 1959 to 2021, we found that 31% of Earth’s land surface has already experienced such statistically implausible #heat.

We must be very cautious about using the historical record in isolation to estimate the “maximum” #heatwave possible. Policymakers across the globe should prepare for exceptional heatwaves that would be deemed #implausible based on current records."

90% sure this article
Open Creation and its Enemies http://www.cddc.vt.edu/sionline/si/open1.html
makes absolutely no sense.
But then again, I'm not a mathematician.
