High disease activity is high disease activity is high disease activity? - Nope! Not all patients with rheumatoid arthritis are the same – even when they have exactly the same disease activity score! Full article: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41839530/ Part of #SPIDERR and @squeezeproject.bsky.social

I'm certainly a #julialang evangalist, but I've toned it down a bit - a lot of scientists don't have the time or inclination to go against the grain. Then again, when someone makes it this easy... #tidytuesday #rstats nrennie.rbind.io/blog/introdu...

“But even if you do not “produce” something, eg as a birder who just likes to watch birds, it is still something people value in you. That is because Spinozist full expression of yourself is virtuous.”

Earlier this month I gave a workshop on Bayesian methods in epidemiology. With my hosts I developed a pretty elaborate, demonstrative analysis for the workshop which I am happy to share publicly here. HTML: betanalpha.github.io/assets/chapt... PDF: betanalpha.github.io/assets/chapt...

Back home, back to the promotion grind. This August and September! Four brand new remote courses, each covering a powerful Bayesian modeling technique with comprehensive Stan exercises! Enthusiastic punctuation! www.eventzilla.net/e/advanced-b...

My new favourite pastime: - find a bird (of course) on Wikipedia - switch language to Suomi 🇫🇮 - translate the page using some plugin - benefit I present to you, the Hippie Ovenbird (also known by it's lesser known, and far more boring name "Pallas's Leaf-warbler")

Join us for the Learn Bayes Methods Week at Karolinska Institutet from 12-15 May! Monday through Thursday will be packed with fantastic seminars and workshops in this all-you-can-eat Bayesian buffet (or smörgåsbord).

Want to participate in #TidyTuesday but #julialang is more your speed? Check out #TidierTuesday! github.com/TidierOrg/Ti... Big shout out to @jonthegeek.com , @frankiethull.bsky.social , and the folks behind @tidierjl.bsky.social for their work making this happen.

I'll talk about Bayesian workflow Thu 24th April 11-12 CEST in Learn Bayes seminar by Karolinska Institutet @ki.se learnbayes.se/events/bayes... (zoom available) The focus will be different to my previous workflow talks (see users.aalto.fi/~ave/videos....). This time more flowcharts and shortcuts

Friendly reminder for those in the greater Sweden area that I'll be hosting a free, day long workshop on Bayesian inference and modeling with interactive epidemiology exercises on Wednesday May 14, learnbayes.se/events/gener.... Additional info at learnbayes.se/information/....

TidierCourse is a free, work-in-progress set of materials for learning Julia and Tidier.jl. tidierorg.github.io/TidierCourse...

Breaking news: In May I'll be hosting a one-day, interactive workshop on Bayesian modeling with an emphasis on epidemiology for the Learn Bayes Methods Week at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, learnbayes.se/events/gener.... Free to attend but on-site only, learnbayes.se/information/....

There is a great initiative by researchers at KI to teach and learn more about Bayesian methods. This is open to all, inside and outside KI - check it out! Join the email list so you can get the zoom links for seminars by really excellent speakers learnbayes.se #epidemiology #biostatistics
