You know, when you have kids and you love them and you’re proud of them you just want to kiss them on the mouth sometimes.

I strongly agree and disagree with that statement to some extent.

I feel like every now and then, I give a long-winded explanation of something in a paper that really just boils down to the above.

There was a period of my life where I aspired to be Kid Vid.

dogjournal:

PHOTOGRAPHER TOURS SHELTERS TO HELP DOGS GET ADOPTED - “Our mission is to provide shelter staff and volunteers with the resources to successfully groom and photograph shelter pets, helping give them the second chance they deserve.”

The One Picture Saves a Life initiative teaches animal shelters how to groom and photograph the shelter animals to present them in the best light (probably both literally and figuratively) for adoption. Photographer Seth Casteel is currently touring various shelters in the U.S. to put on workshops. You may be familiar with Casteel’s Underwater Dogs series. The photos above are examples of how different the dogs look depending on how they are presented.

In addition to Casteel, John Paul Pet, The Animal Rescue Site, GreaterGood.org, and the Petfinder Foundation are all partners in this endeavor. Click here to learn more about One Picture Saves a Life. You can also donate to this cause by clicking here. (Photos from One Picture Saves a Life)

Queer in STEM: LGBTQ in STEM: Who are we?:

iamlittlei:

To begin to answer those questions, we’ve initiated this online survey of LGBTQ folks working in STEM. If you’re queer, have completed at least a bachelor’s or technical degree, and are working in STEM in any capacity — grad school, the tenure track, corporate R&D, the nonprofit sector, or science communication — we want to hear from you, and we need your help to collect a comprehensive sample.

You can take the survey and learn how to help spread the word right here. Thanks in advance!

This paper in Statistical Science literally starts out with “Survey weighting is a mess.”

NO KIDDING. I swear I could be done with this PhD in like, three years if it weren’t for survey weighting.

(In which Richard whines about stupid things that are plaguing him right now.)

UGH R YOU HAVE FAILED ME
