hiv_transmission: HIV transmission network (1988-2001)
A set of networks of HIV transmissions between people through sexual, needle-sharing, or social connections, based on combining 8 datasets collected from 1988 to 2001. Metadata includes test results of several diseases, as well as demographic variables such as age, ethnicity, and gender. Networks come in two flavors: egodyads and altdyads. Egodyads are the network among study-participants and their direct partners. Altdyads are the…

Unfair advantages commonly accepted:
- Having more money to train
- Having more time to train
- Being able to relocate to high altitude to train
- Having genetic predisposition to efficient metabolism
- Having a build with extra large lungs
- Having a build with extra leg muscle
- Having an extremely compact build
- Having extremely long limbs
- Taking ibuprofen to help inflammation
- Taking many supplements to improve muscle growth
- Taking ice baths to improve recovery
- Taking hormones for birth control
Unfair advantages we don't allow:
- Taking metabolic steroids to improve muscle growth
- Doping with red blood cells to improve oxygen carrying
- Taking amphetamines
- Taking hormones to improve recovery
- Taking hormones for gender reasons
- Having a body that produces more testosterone than the normal distribution for your gender would indicate, if you're a woman
- Having a body that produces more testosterone than the normal distribution for your gender would indicate, if you're a man and they don't decide it's completely normal and allow it anyway.

Yesterday's mystery #cloud has been ID'd as #cirrocumulus (or perhaps altocumulus) but in any case of the rather rare #undulatus variety, with the waves caused by wind shear at different altitudes: https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/october-2023/ comes somewhat close; see https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/cloud-library/undulatus/ and https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/cloud-library/cirrocumulus/ for details. h/t https://scicomm.xyz/@drlucyrogers@mastodon.social

Breezing through the otherwise quite thoughtful bit of small-scale climate prophecy by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, I'm struck by (and not sure how to get past) the casual way Africa and Australia are totally destroyed in this brief mention on the last page of the imagined history.

Nogle gange hader jeg at bo på bŸhlandet. Da jeg boede alene, var det ikke det store problem, for så fyrede jeg op for anlægget, og så kunne knallerter, save og bonderŸve forsvinde som dug for solen. Når man så bor sammen med en, der dels altid går rundt med stimuli i hovedtelefoner og bliver overvældet over musik med lyrik i længere tid, så er der pludselig ingen måde at stoppe det på udover at tage hovedtelefoner på, som så bliver lŸbende afbrudt af spŸrgsmål eller hund der kræver opmærkso…

Such a fitting twist for our Dutch Climate Classic. My colleague Daan and I were going to participate in the 250 km cycling tour along the 1 meter altitude line this coming Friday.
But now it's going to be 32 to 33°C and humid, so a National Heat Plan is in force, and the organisation takes care to ensure that no participant is on the bike after 2 p.m. Distance halved. Welcome to the new climate!

Researchers from the University of Warwick in the U.K. found that the geostationary orbit
— a region of space at the altitude of 22,000 miles (36,000 kilometers)
— is full of dangerous, previously unseen bits of space junk that could destroy satellites.
The geostationary orbit is quite unique.
Satellites at this altitude circle Earth in sync with the planet's rotation, appearing permanently suspended above a fixed spot on the equator.
A single satellite in t…

Space junk debris cloud discovered in high-traffic orbit 'is a potential minefield' for the costliest satellites
"The debris in geosynchronous orbit is a potential minefield."

Eksamen er altid både godt og skidt. Det er ikke sjovt for de, der bare lukker ned under den mundtlige del, og det er heller ikke sjovt at skulle prŸve blidt at få dem igennem det, men jeg må glæde mig over et samlet set meget nydeligt gennemsnit for klassen, samt at de, der klarede sig mindre godt mundtligt, generelt har klaret sig helt fint skriftligt.
