Quantiative twitter is fighting about confidence intervals again, so here’s a reminder: confidence intervals are like ring toss.

This warning from @UofGVC - a most distinguished economist and University Principal - must be taken seriously and addressed by U.K. Government.
The evidence from polling is clear: there is no support for tightening of visas on the graduate route. The public understand this. Time to stop the senseless self-harm to our economy and to focus on backing our national assets. #GlobalBritain theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…

What research methods are you learning about this summer? If you do one course, make it "Multilevel Statistical Modelling" with the excellent Paul Lambert at the lovely @EssexSumSchool . essexsummerschool.com/summer…
