Does anyone have any suggested fonts for presentations in the beamer package?


I always use Atkinson Hyperlegible. It's great for the bad presentation situations one often is in (bad presenters, or simply the head of the person in front of you cutting off the lower part of the letters).


I'm wondering, is it worth learning Hy if I don't know any python? (coming from a clojure background) Or is python knowledge a prerequisite?


Learning Python is not required to get started and do some simple stuff, but it is effectively required to master Hy.


I work in a university hospital as a neuroradiologist. I've used Anki extensively during my studies and my specialist training. Now I use it to memorize thousands of image diagnosis patterns and differential diagnosis. 'You can't diagnose (or see) what you don't know', which means using an extensive note system is insufficient. I recommend Anki to all the radiologists (and doctors in general) training in our institute.


Related this very recent article from JAMA Otolaryngology (Denmark study):

Cantuaria ML, Pedersen ER, Waldorff FB, et al. Hearing Loss, Hearing Aid Use, and Risk of Dementia in Older Adults. JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. Published online January 04, 2024. doi:10.1001/jamaoto.2023.3509

Conclusions and Relevance: The results of this cohort study suggest that hearing loss was associated with increased dementia risk, especially among people not using hearing aids, suggesting that hearing aids might prevent or delay the onset and progression of dementia. The risk estimates were lower than in previous studies, highlighting the need for more high-quality longitudinal studies.
