Not all data-driven covariate adjustment methods are created equal! Our prognostic covariate adjustment method, PROCOVA™, adjusts for AI-derived forecasts of participants’ clinical outcomes to increase the efficiency of #clinicaltrials.

Once you can do things, what you do is one of the most important decisions you will make. This has to be in the top 3 of advice I've ever gotten, and I think about it more and more often. What you work on is worth deep thought, even daily.

A project born of the right piece of wood, a "Nakashima tray". I had a small piece of live edge black acacia, and decided to make a book-matched tray with a narrow divide in the middle. The handles are maple, and there are maple feet dovetailed into the bottom. About 21"x12".

Looking for handle ideas, I found George Nakashima designed a tray with a split middle and beautiful flared handles, so I used his design. The handles really bring it together, shaping the ends. Finished with Rubio monocoat.

George Nakashima was an amazing woodworker with an equally amazing story who had a profound impact on woodworking and the American craft movement. The Conoid bench is striking.

This is a table I made over the holidays that I'm really happy with. The idea was to make a functional entry-style table that presents a nice live edge apron and has an interesting top. For the top I decided on stone with shallow wells for pots (or other items) along the sides.

The stone is blue limestone and measures 2' x 1', with sapele wells. The frame and top apron is maple, and I carved the lines on the short sides to visually break up the frame. The legs are sapele, and the show apron is black acacia with a live edge at the bottom.

I have a lot of finished projects that I've not posted. This a project from last summer, a painted carving in basswood about 18 inches square. Painted by me and Vivian. Took a lot of work to get a black/gold effect I liked, and learned a lot about carving, gesso, and painting.

A project from late spring, a Roubo bookstand. This is an old design that's made from a single board, where you make a series of cuts that allow it to open up like this. Made from cherry and maple and finished with tung oil and waxed.

It folds up for easy traveling - this is a view of it closed. The knuckle joints are what allow it to open and close. They're made by chiseling out each section on both sides and cutting between them through the board.
A fun project from the spring - a planter for Diane's home office. About 28"x12"x32", designed and built as I went. The sides are cedar tongue-and-grooves slats, framed with oak. Paduak rails support the pot on the bottom and connect to the legs, which are jatoba.

It was time to size up my desk. I kept the same basic design from an earlier version, but now it's 48" wide and about 27" deep (and 29" tall). The top is cherry and the legs are maple, pinned together with pairs of dowels (cherry in the legs and maple on the top).

Feels very sturdy. The legs are all half lap joints, except for the bracing bar at the bottom which is pinned. There's also stiffener bars running along the width of the desk in font and back.

The #AlphaFold2 results have also made me think more about the challenges facing academia in taking on problems that require innovation and cross-functional collaboration. A story.

I'm sure things are evolving, but this is a structural problem in academia. What is valued is often not aligned well with what is needed, and what the funding system allows investigators to resource can stifle progress.

This has a strong impact on diversity. Diversity is often a problem in areas that select for singular skills. It's made worse by a pathway to permanent positions that makes it impractical for people with personal or financial obligations to succeed. But that's a different rant.
