"Why do queen bumblebees emerge from hibernation during weekends?"
I love this framing about bias in hobbyist-collected data.

SpringerLinkWhy do queen bumblebees emerge from hibernation during weekends? - ApidologieClimate-driven shifts in bumblebee emergence and flowering time can disrupt plant reproduction and affect pollinator health. To study such mismatches, accurate phenological data is crucial but challenging to collect, especially for pollinator hibernation emergence. Citizen science is increasingly being used to expand the spatial and temporal scope of data collection in research. Nevertheless, these data can be biased due to different reasons. We found that 33.14% of records in Europe and 32.47% in North America were gathered on weekends – exceeding what would be expected by random chance and showing opposite patterns to bumblebee museum specimen records. Bias also affected queen emergence date and varied by species, suggesting that species-specific traits may mediate the bias extent. We also present a case study showing how adjusting for day-of-the-week effects can change the statistical significance of temporal trends in bumblebee emergence dates. We thus recommend including the day of the week in statistical models to account for temporal biases. Our findings highlight the importance of correcting temporal biases in citizen science data to ensure accurate evaluations of ecological responses to climate change.

#RFKJr Said to Focus on Unproven Link Between Common Painkiller & #Autism
Federal *#health* officials are expected to link rising rates of autism to the use of #acetaminophen, the active ingredient in the common painkiller #Tylenol, in a report to be released on Monday. Scientists have studied a potential connection for years, but the research so far has yielded inconclusive results.

Heh, I see ‘Real Disaster Channel’ is showing the episode about the Comair flight that crashed going into Detroit.
What is so special about this crash?
If I remember correctly, the airplane had wings CURVED BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM.
Thus, according to BOTH the ‘Bernoulli principle’ AND the ‘Coanda effect’ nerds, THIS AIRPLANE COULD NOT HAVE FLOWN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
(The plane crashed because the pilots did not operate their deïcing boots.)
