I've been reading about missForest today

MissForest—non-parametric missing value imputation for mixed-type data

https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/28/1/112/219101

https://github.com/stekhoven/missForest

Runs much faster than `{mice}` in my experience, and I like the fewer parametric assumptions.

The above article on missForest is David Stekhoven and Peter Bühlmann's most cited article.

The Antarctic continent is entering an unprecedented era of risk driven by compounding environmental and biological disasters, while currently lacking the unified structural means required for an effective emergency response.

Climate change is progressively exacerbating respiratory diseases through the increased frequency and intensity of environmental hazards such as wildfire smoke, extreme heat, flooding, and extended pollen seasons. These compounding risks are reversing decades of air quality progress and placing immense strain on public health infrastructure.

This is an excellent piece from Katelyn Jetelina. She's an epidemiologist who started a blog in 2020 to provide knowledgable information about the pandemic. She has since continued to provide broader information within her field. I like her because she's very thoughtful and human when discussing some complex and difficult issues.

Join or start a union at your work. You need no-fault sick leave, esp when local infections break out.

Do managers want:

Only ONE person this week out sick?
Or else a half-dozen in coming weeks?
