Rewatching Community, John Oliver (the psychology professor) is channeling how we all feel when data misbehaves... #stats

data visualization is my passion.

My (still unfunded) 1st percentile score and I definitely feel this…

Four years of sobriety.

New post! Are you following @sketchplanations.bsky.social ? He is great at explaining complex ideas via text and images, and some of those complex ideas are statistical.

I'm looking for a good resource on the implications on psychometric properties and response patterns when using Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree vs Never/Rarely/Sometimes/Often/Always Likert scales on surveys. Anyone have anything I should read?

Had a great time presenting my work at @enar-ibs.bsky.social #ENAR2026

Lovely to see former NYU #A3SR students thriving at #ENAR2026

Proud to be an @enar-ibs.bsky.social member when #ENAR2026 shows it’s values with these name tag ribbons and pronoun stickers

Who’s going to #ENAR2026? Looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones!

Still not too late to catch my talk today at 11:15 am NYC time. It’s on Studying Queer Data While Living It: Positionality, Power, and Practice

I'm really excited to keynote at this conference. My talk, "Studying Queer Data While Living It: Positionality, Power, and Practice," will be on Thursday Feb 26th at 11:15 am NYC time.

Happy to teach an intro stats or intro research methods class on survey design.

Someone made an actually-organized version of this!!

Don't you f**king dare.

📣 registration for the rainbowR conference is now live 🎉 The conference is for anyone interested in R and/or analysing data to understand LGBTQ+ issues. The majority of speakers and workshop leaders are LGBTQ+, but you do not have to be LGBTQ+ to attend. pretix.eu/rainbowr/con... #RStats #LGBTQ

why did they call it "therapy" and not "deep issue massage"

Do I have any Canadian contacts working in the Queer data space that are interested in submitting a grant with me? Must be at a Canadian university. Topic would be gender affirming care in trans individuals. I have a proposal idea.

Feeling especially sad and frustrated with the state of scientific funding in the US right now. It’s devastating that good grants with scientific merit are unfundable because their topics disagree with the politics of administration I know this isnt new but it’s hitting me hard and personally today

This is a cool call for papers. Anyone want to work on something with me to submit to this. I only have a few vague ideas so I’d be happy to collaborate with someone who has a more structured idea.

It always brightens my day when my students papers get accepted. Love to see the talent of the next generation of statisticians!

As we head into the new year, let's all be gentle with ourselves and our bodies. You are the one who determines your own goals. You are the one who knows what food makes you feel good and nourished. You are the one who gets decide what you eat. Trust yourself.

Time to replace the document called Fall To Do with Spring To Do. Contents? The same

Time to motivate myself to grade all day. 8 down, 21 to go

Looking forward to this talk! Come join me for a discussion on queer data!

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Any good posts or things you think I should include in Friday's lecture?

We leave the determination of reasonable accommodation to the experts, and our job as professors is to accommodate as instructed. In fact, we can learn a lot about good teaching by considering which accommodations might help all students if built into our policies (e.g. extensions and recordings)

Had a great time giving a talk today at Fordham!

When you’re bored, bake apple pie!

NYC based instructors: we're looking for an adjunct for a graduate level Ethics of Data Science class this Spring. Please share widely apply.interfolio.com/175474

I usually give a lecture in my grad-level survey design class about political polling. This year I want to update it and focus more on general policy opinion polls. Anyone have good resources or examples I should reference?

NYC-based people - I'm looking for an adjunct instructor to teach an undergraduate course *this fall* at NYU called Power and Politics of Data. There's a lot of flexibility in what the course could look like, but I'm also happy to share ideas and the job ad. DM me if you think you're interested.

40. Probably the most valuable service provided by methodologists is wading through dense stats papers, and figuring out what's actually useful for applied social scientists.
