@mbeisen I found this the most useful articulation of the situation: "Science has negative return on investment for the university that conducts it, so that there is a massively positive ROI for society, of both the monetary and non-monetary kind..."

@oceansci_swim Where do you find good swimming programs?

@wc_ratcliff @JLDudycha You are only looking at one locus, so each allele has to be on a different chromosome. The assumption is an independent assortment of homologous chromosomes. In the case of haploid asexual (or any asexual that becomes a de-facto haploid), there is one allele per org

@wc_ratcliff @JLDudycha @evokerr once told me that is how he teaches H-W and now I do it as well, students get it that way and can derive it for any weird kind of "organism"

@DrSueIshaq Cool!!! Do you have some paper recommendations on this?

@yanivbrandvain @joelmcglothlin @SamurSciCop Exactly! That is effective communication about the economy, talking concretely about jobs, about concrete impacts and results of the infrastructure bill. Make us part of a movement for something, not just count on our vote out of fear!

@Vanessid @shaTIRED I find this whole conflict between who is more Trumpist worthless... I think more interesting is to understand why the margins of Latines for Trump keep increasing. This kind of division is precisely what Trump took advantage of.

@joelmcglothlin I think my calculations are based on current estimates (not raw counts - reporting is not clear). Assuming raw counts and that Kamala comes out with 60% of CA vote and Trump only 38%, then Kamala gets 10.7M more votes and Trump 67K. Much better, but still relatively shorter

@Vanessid @dmrscs How much of these percentages have to do with fewer people voting for Kamala vs. more people voting for Trump. The question I am interested in is: Why the increase in Trump's gains (racism, evangelism, and assimilationism were already there in 2020)?

@Jazlyn_Mooney @CorvalanAdri I know... honestly this might be the worst result of the night (and there were some bad ones)

Blaming voters and considering them bad or ignorant is what got us here in the first place. If you lost margins across most groups and regions, that is your fault. Time to listen to the feedback

@HarmitMalik I thought the same thing...

@wc_ratcliff What is a new PI (asking for a friend)?

@claresmillar @celinehenne She is just starting to write about it (she needed a break from writing)
