    Lots of folks getting all contrarian about the "Feminist Glaciology" paper last week: "heh, if you actually READ it, it's a good paper". Er, no. It's really weird nonsense, like people said right from the start:

    So, this study in the BMJ saying that standing desks make you healthier, more engaged, etc. Look at the supplementary tables: they did dozens and dozens of tests, but explicitly write "adjustment for multiple comparisons was not performed"! 😳😳😳

    I don't think I've ever seen a study that assumes correlation = causation, and totally forgets about genetics, in such a careless way. Really astonishing! (paper here: ) via

    This chap () has now written a blog post claiming I called him a "relativist". You've got to laugh, really: you criticise someone for making factual errors (still uncorrected BTW), and they respond by making further false claims!
