Craig Venter: Architect of Synthetic Life and Programmable Biology

Jonathan on Instagram: "Data scientists use synthetic control methods to estimate causal effects and measure incrementality when randomized experiments aren’t possible. But calculating statistical significance for synthetic control estimates is more complex than standard regression. The variance estimation challenge: When you fit a synthetic control model on panel data with multiple geos and time periods, do you calculate confidence intervals using unit placebo tests (permuting across control ge
