The role of universities is not to generate media / social media hot takes; however horrible the world may feel. Universities should be places devoted to teaching and research, and not social media outrage / praise farming. 1/

Note Silver's latest Substack article is a great read, approachable and super-clear. It makes a robust case for Covid-19 vaccines having saved many lives in the US, without belittling and insulting those who believe otherwise. Science communication at its best!

Fine, I'll run a regression analysis. But it won't make you happy.
State partisanship and COVID vaccination rates are strongly predictive of COVID death rates even once you account for age.

I've just come across that interesting fungus, basket stinkhorn (Clathrus ruber), I presume. It's the first time I saw one in Switzerland. It's weird and smelly, but still cool.
