I like to tell my students that I was born in 'the late 1900s'

Breaking news from the CDC: starting now, the p-value is the probability that H0 is true

Hey Northwestern University Computer Science, this is unhelpful and rude to the point of cruelty

Obsessed with the combination of knowledge and lack of knowledge that is required for someone to come up with this idea

I love everything about this open virtual event. This is a great thing to share with anyone who is (or might be!) a prospective (bio)statistics PhD student!

The pervasive false dichotomy between those who do science and those who do DEI work. These things are complementary!

We can do both, and good researchers *should* do both. It's not a zero-sum game.

Note to self: when asking students who are new to coding to 'print' something, make sure to clarify that I don't mean from a physical printer onto (many) sheets of paper

PLEASE RETWEET: an opportunity for Stat/Biostat PhD applicants from historically marginalized groups to get support on their PhD applications. Apply now!! ASA IMS UW Statistics UW Biostatistics

Listening to a podcast from April 2020, someone mentioned how 'this stay at home thing is super uncertain' and 'it could even last another month' 😭😭😭

My first day at work at Macalester, and I was just asked if I'm a sophomore. I'm used to being asked if I'm a student and all, but that just felt oddly specific? Do I look 19 years old, specifically?

Email unsubscription forms can be so dramatic sometimes

A lot of people seem to think we were in Afghanistan for 20 years on behalf of women’s rights

Book idea: 'I Can't Touch My Toes But...'

It's a side-by-side picture/coffee table book with enthusiastically bad Twitter takes about the greatest gymnast of all time on one side and photos of Simone celebrating her achievements on the other

Some incredible work coming out of UW Statistics led by my friend and colleague Nick Irons

We’ve all seen the consequences of shoddy statistics during the pandemic (remember cubic regression? 😷) - a must-read for anyone interested in careful and proper COVID statistical analysis

I recognize the irony of this tweet, but I would be happy to never hear or read another word about the billionaire space race.

“Our words as educators can either create barriers or break barriers.” - Prince Afriyie

This quote stuck out to me, but its just one of so many great moments from the “Expanding Horizons and Fostering Diversity” keynote panel at #USCOTS21 👏👏👏

Teaching over Zoom always requires a little bit of set up. Today's set up includes soaking a cloth in water to keep myself cool down during class. Time for Seattle to admit it needs air conditioning!
