The suspension of the H1B visa program is bad for the US, bad for innovation, and will shatter dreams and disrupt lives. As a former H1B visa holder, my heart goes out to all the families affected.

I wish @twitter had an auto-reply function. If it did, for the broken record of responders every day who think "per capita" adjustment is necessary for log #COVID19 graphs, they'd get answers from @mgubrud, @CT_Bergstrom @kjw_chiu, @kchangnyt @jburnmurdoch and many others

It is not enough to flatten the curve. If we do, the virus will still win. We need to use #SmartQuarantine to crush it.
It was a great honor to work with Harvey Fineberg, Jim Kim and Jordan Shlain, &others on this NYT Op-Ed:The United States Needs a ‘Smart Quarantine’. Hope the lessons learned from multiple countries can help US plan ahead to successfully fight for #COVID19 nytimes.com/2020/04/07/opini…

People who are dying of COVID19 will need first-rate palliative (hospice) care. This is going to be especially the case for people who are denied ventilators or who are taken off of them (i.e., who are “extubated”). Let’s talk about this painful and poignant fact. 1/

We finally got some good news today. The Chinese government helped facilitate a donation of 1,000 ventilators that will arrive in JFK today. I thank the Chinese government, Jack Ma, Joe Tsai, the Jack Ma Foundation, the Tsai Foundation and Consul General Huang.

Prof: “In many languages there are examples of double negatives. They always eventuate in positives. However, in no language does a double positive mean a negative.” Student at back : “Yeah, right.”

Excited to see this paper with @oleg_sofrygin and @mark_vdlaan in press where we identify and propose efficient & compatible estimation for complier direct effects (for IV scenarios)—especially since it was my first submission post-maternity leave 👶 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

I've been playing with the GPT-2 neural net text generators, and they produce interesting results when primed with two disparate themes, e.g. secure C++ coding meets trashy romance novel:
