I get nervous when sharing work with statisticians (because I am explicitly NOT a statistician). But it was a joy to deliver tonight's talk: Rainbow Trap: How Inclusive Statistics Still Box Us In 🌈 Thank you to the lovely folks @rssedinburgh.bsky.social + @rssdiversity.bsky.social for organising ✨

This was a fantastic event from @rssedinburgh.bsky.social and @rssdiversity.bsky.social, with a really interesting talk and discussion from @kevinguyan.bsky.social If you work with data in any capacity, Kevin's book will give you a lot to think about 🌈

Thought-provoking and fascinating talk by @kevinguyan.bsky.social at tonight’s joint @rssedinburgh.bsky.social & @rssdiversity.bsky.social event; on the importance of box breakers and careful design of classification studies. Some helpful considerations ⬇️ Highly recommend his new book #rainbowtrap

Yay! @royalstatsoc.bsky.social CD SIG with @kevinguyan.bsky.social

Today! @rssdiversity.bsky.social @rssedinburgh.bsky.social

Word of the day is ‘bellycheer’ (16th century): feasting, gluttony, and ‘the gratification of the belly’.

It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’. ‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.

The pic isn't all of the team, we don't meet face to face very often as we are a dispersed team working across 5 different offices and homes. Contrary to popular opinion this doesn't hinder us working together and innovating, rather it allows us to tap into talent across the country.

Extremely proud of my team who have been shortlisted in the Analysis in Government awards for communication for our Health trends in England tool, designed to open up public health data to a broader audience. We used Quarto by @posit.co to build it. fingertips.phe.org.uk/static-repor...
