I just used
refine.ink
to proofread a paper that's nearly ready for circulation. It had 23 comments. The first caught us using "reduces" instead of "increases" when describing our main treatment effect in the abstract. I highly endorse this tool for preventing such embarassing errors!

"The man who co-discovered the double helix, perhaps not surprisingly, regarded DNA as the ultimate puppet master, immeasurably more powerful than the social and other forces that lesser (much lesser) scientists studied. Then his hubris painted him into a corner."

I love a Don travel post and this is no exception. Don’s like if Rick Steves also had a secret passion for civil bureaucracies. It’s no wonder New York named the new Penn Station after him.

If you're looking for some food banks to donate to, we vetted a ton all over the country back in 2020, in conjunction with our marble league sponsorship, a sentence that I swear made sense in context. Anyway -- there are links to 17 of them in this thread. (And apologies for linking to... y'know.)

PSA: Covid cases can be infectious for over a week. A friend with Covid is still testing highly positive on rapid tests after 8 days. If your rapid test is positive you are still infectious. Stay home, mask up, ventilate indoor spaces so you don’t spread it to others.

One of us has just spent the day in hospital having a hernia op & it's obvious to anyone who uses it that many NHS workers are not from this country and yet they provide brilliant care, with many on less than ÂŁ39k. Why are we not screaming from the rooftops the huge benefits of immigration?
