Genuinely horrifying.
20 million people receive HIV antiviral treatment from the program annually.
Mothers with HIV would transmit it to their infants at birth if not for perinatal antiviral treatment.
This should be resumed as soon as possible. Every day of delay means more lives lost.
This is an important point. Not everyone survives hard times, but if you just give up and decide that the apocalypse is inevitable and nothing can be changed, you become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The future has yet to be written, but we can choose whether to fight for the world we want to create.
We were discussing this topic over lunch in light of European politics - watch the video. now is not the time to give up or just hope for "others to be the check and balance for you" as @shengwuli.bsky.social puts it
@error.reviews is such a great initiative and this should act as a leading example of an authors' response for others to follow. 👏

Hey #econsky #finsky!
What are the best books/articles about innovation I should read? Especially on the process from invention to market scale.
E.g. I read this Works in Progress article about new materials and how long it takes for them to take off in markets and found it very interesting 🤓
I’ll be teaching a short workshop on reproducible research and version control using Git & GitHub!

Die deutsche Forschungsdateninfrastruktur ist im internationalen Vergleich rückständig. Datenbasierte Analysen sind eine essenzielle Entscheidungsgrundlage für die Politik und die öffentliche Verwaltung. #Forschungsdaten
could you do some simulations to argue what differences you would be able to detect with sufficient power?
My recent paper in Economic Journal:
