I just updated my social media guide. And it’s been a while, so you might want to check that out. It explains in more detail the differences among what I publish on my various social media and how to take advantage of that. Because only watching my blog or subscribing to its email list (down the right margin here) only shows you my substantive articles, and publication and in-person appearance announcements. If you want to catch all my announcements (such as when I’m appearing on YouTube or podcasts and the like, including live events) you should follow either my Twitter or Facebook feeds. As those kinds of events won’t get mentioned on my blog.
However, I don’t engage on Twitter or use it for anything else. If you want more of my casual posts and thoughts and recommendations on many things (from the personal to the political to the philosophical), you should follow me on Facebook, where I post a lot more than I do on Twitter. And that does mean follow (you can find that option on my Facebook page somewhere; though Facebook keeps changing where). Only friend me on Facebook if you meet requisite conditions, such as being a supporting Patron, or in the industry, or having actually hung out with me (unfortunately I do have to set this limitation). Only my Facebook Friends can comment on my Facebook posts. Otherwise, to engage with me on any subject, you need to find a pertinent article here on my blog and post a comment there (see my Comments Policy). Or take my most relevant online course, where you can engage with me on that subject for a whole month using Google Groups.
The Guardian has an article on Bayes’ Theorem in relation to Covid testing. Haven’t read it yet, but I’m sure you’ll be interested.

Thank you. I’ve seen it. It’s a decent teaching example of how Bayes’ Theorem works and is actually employed in the sciences.
