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.

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.

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.

My queer data lab’s first paper just got accepted to the Journal of Homosexuality. I’m so proud of my students for all their work!

Three years of nights I can remember and of hangover-free mornings. Three years of doing my best and fulfilling my goals. Three years of being strong and of taking things one minute at a time when I need to. Three years.

So proud to have won NYU’s LGBTQ+ center’s Arnold Grossman faculty award for commitment to the community.

I’m proud to announce that I have been elected as 2027 chair of the social statistics section of the American Statistical Association. Looking forward to working with this great organization and serve its membership. @amstatnews.bsky.social

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees: Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and… 1. Download your NSF award letters. 2. Print PDF your annual reports. 3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports. NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov

New post! www.datarescueproject.org/welcome-back... Today, we feature @webrecorder.net and their user-friendly snapshots of government sites. They worked with @safeguardingdata.bsky.social on the Covid.gov mirror. This is a great example of what we can achieve with collaboration!

📍the covid.gov site was preserved. See the link below.

Working with @datarescueproject.org has been one of the things that makes me feel like I’m doing something important these days. If you can, consider a financial contribution to keeping our data preservation efforts afloat. Data storage costs money and anything you can contribute is helpful.

I have one or two more files to add from HRSA on Monday! But otherwise it’s as much as we could rescue
