Today's poem:

The Ship
- by Carol Ann Duffy

In the end,
it was nothing more
than the toy boat of a boy
on the local park’s lake,
where I walked with you.

But I knelt down
to watch it arrive,
its white sail shy
with amber light,
the late sun
bronzing the wave
that lifted it up,

my ship coming in
with its cargo of joy.

Significance is an important aspect to prioritising our work.

The Museum Association (UK) launched a Collections Significance Assessment Toolkit for Welsh museums including recommendations to invite communities into significance discussions.

What is useful for Wales is probably pretty useful for the rest of us, with some tweaking.

@millerdl @gavinsimpson @ericJpedersen Trying to interpret a GAM I can only get to fit with gam.mh. How many ways is this wrong?:

mod <- gam(...)
post <- gam.mh(gam)$bs
mod$coefficients <- colMeans(post)
mod$Vc <- cov(post)
plot(mod)
summary(mod) ?
gam.check(mod)
gratia::draw(mod)

(Assuming my posterior samples are well-behaved fuzzy caterpillars)

"Things to come. The shadow of a fat man in the moonlight precedes me on the road down which I go; and should I turn and run, he would pursue me; this is the man whom I must get to know."

James Reeves (1909-1978)

Things refer to , particularly those deemed to be of great . The speaker is confronting some kind of destiny or fate. It can be interpreted as the recognition that the future is unavoidable and we must accept and embrace whatever it may bring.

If we want scientists to accept uncertainty, we have to acknowledge that it is uncomfortable. Uncertainty makes one feel unsafe, and wanting to avoid or remove it is natural (wired in the brain stem; the "reptilian brain"), for instance by categorizing and generalizing. So it will take continuous effort to stay open and accept uncertainty.

Wasserstein et al. (2019, doi.org/10.1080/00031305.2019.) suggested not to use statistical significance anymore. Ever. Statistical significance is ubiquitous in science, even though much has been written about its problems. Rather, they suggest the acronym ATOM: Accept uncertainty, be Thoughtful, Open and Modest.

Was doing recently and came across this . Look how much care and reverence the ancients had for their giant clunky memory cards that could only hold 50 pictures.

I can only assume this elaborate case had some .
