Reviewing proofs for a recently accepted paper on a train to the Scottish Highlands? Yes, please. #sabbatical

Such fun bringing stats and crafts together!! And lovely meeting you Lucy 😊

Huge congratulations to two of my favorite colleagues @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social & Staci Hepler on their SUCH well deserved CWS awards at #JSM2025 👏 👏

👋 Want to hear about our recent work on measurement error in food access measures? Sign up for this Friday's North Carolina Chapter of the American Statistical Association Webinar! It's free, and I'd love to see you there!

How many stats puns as slide titles is too many? Asking for a friend...

🆕 I'm excited to share a new arXiv preprint with Anh Nguyen and @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social on "Linking Potentially Misclassified Healthy Food Access to Diabetes Prevalence." I couldn't have asked for a better duo to help my first first-author paper come together! 😊 🔗: arxiv.org/abs/2505.01465

🙏 I'm grateful for a lot with this paper, and I'm excited about all of the future directions that are already underway.🧵

#NRC2025 The 2025 New Researchers Conference, sponsored by Institute of Mathematical Statistics and hosted by Vanderbilt Biostatistics, welcomes applications from early-career researchers (PhDs earned 2018-2025). Space is limited; apply by May 15 to be considered for an invite. nrc2025.github.io

🎙️ Today at 11:30 AM (Central) @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social (Assistant Prof) will be discussing an imputation solution to accurately and efficiently measure access to healthy foods and its relationship to obesity at #ENAR2025. See more 👇

🎙️ Catch Ashley Mullan (Masters Alum) and Cassandra Hung (Undergrad Researcher) at tonight's #ENAR2025 poster session (8-11PM CT). Ashley will discuss visualizing cost-effectiveness for cancer treatment, and Cassandra's work evaluates the impact of measurement error on health disparities models.

🤗 Looking forward to connecting with everyone next week, and especially excited for Cassandra Hung’e and @ashleymullan.bsky.social’s poster presentations on Sunday night!

🆕 I'm excited to share our recently completed work on "Overcoming data challenges to measure whole-person health in electronic health records," for which Joe Rigdon and I received one of the first intercampus collaborative grants from Wake Forest University and Wake Forest School of Medicine.

🤩 Lucky to be your classmate. Even luckier to be your colleague. Yay, Lucy!!

🎉 Last night two of our faculty attended the NC ASA Annual Dinner to hear from Ron Wasserstein about improbability, mingle, and receive awards! Robert Erhardt (Chair and Prof) received the Senior Statistician Award and @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social (Assistant Prof) received the Service Award.

The Vanderbilt Biostatistics paid summer internship program for undergraduates (stipend of up to $4500, May 12 - June 20) is extending its application deadline to February 17 since its website is down. Access the application form directly at redcap.vumc.org/surveys/?s=A...

That moment when your mentee catches bugs in her R code that would've taken you so long to find! @ashleymullan.bsky.social, you always make me so proud 🤩

There’s still time! Apply to join us!

😍 What an incredible setting for a conference! Thanks for bringing me to San Diego, @amstatnews.bsky.social! Can’t wait for my first ICHPS.

🙏 Grateful for the opportunity to share work with @ashleymullan.bsky.social, @lucystats.bsky.social, and Staci Hepler on "Imputing inequality: Efficient methods for estimating food access in low-access communities" in Atlanta yesterday at #IBC2024. Check out the 🧵 for more, and DM with questions!

👩‍🎨 Made my first graphical abstract for a paper today! I was intimidated, but I love this alternative way of presenting paper information! Thank goodness for Canva to make it all pretty. #stats #academicsky

🥹 I'm really honored to have been nominated by students and colleagues for this award! Serving students, trainees, and the profession has really brings purpose to my work.

🍁 Last week, some of our faculty and students enjoyed the time-honored Wake Forest tradition of "Pits-giving!" They enjoyed all the usually yummy fall foods and took some time to enjoy each others' company, too.

I'm Sarah! I teach undergrad and grad (bio)statistics at @wakeforeststats.bsky.social! My latest exam bonus question presented students with a statistic: Giraffes are 30 times more likely than people to be struck by lightning. Do you think this statistic is... too big, too small, or just right?
