<< The recent rate of emergence of pathogenic fungi that are resistant to the limited number of commonly used antifungal agents is unprecedented. The azoles, for example, are used not only for human and animal health care and crop protection but also in antifouling coatings and timber preservation. The ubiquity and multiple uses of azoles have hastened the independent evolution of resistance in many environments. One consequence is an increasing risk in human health care from naturally occurring opportunistic fungal pathogens that have acquired resistance to this broad class of chemicals. >>

# acad: oops! the scientific world is abuzz ... scientists first and foremost should "embrace uncertainty" and "be thoughtful, open and modest." ...

<< The scientific world is abuzz following recommendations by two of the most prestigious scholarly journals – The American Statistician and Nature – that the term "statistical significance" be retired. In their introduction to the special issue of The American Statistician on the topic, the journal’s editors urge "moving to a world beyond 'p<0.05,'" the famous 5 percent threshold for determining whether a study’s result is statistically significant.  (..) scientists first and foremost should "embrace uncertainty" and "be thoughtful, open and modest." >>
