Send that concerned email! And don't feel any shame or discomfort - you aren't being a bother, you're generating evidence.

NABE strongly condemns the baseless removal of BLS Commissioner McEntarfer & the unfounded accusations leveled against the work of the agency. This unprecedented attack on the US statistical system threatens the long-standing credibility of our data files.constantcontact.com/668faa28001/...

Late to post but STL showed up last weekend 👀 tons of amazing people 😍 at this peaceful ✌️June 14 protest 🚫👑 #nokings #stl #indivisible

OMG why am I not in person at @cascadiarconf.bsky.social and where have you been all my (teaching) life #LessR? Great presentation by David Gerbing for introducing non-coders to #rstats. Def going to check out his book www.routledge.com/R-Data-Analy.... 💙

🚨 2 DAYS TO GO! 🚨 Cascadia R Conference kicks off this Friday in Portland! Amazing talks, hands-on workshops, and a community that loves R as much as you do. 🗓️ June 20–21 📍 Portland, Oregon 🔗 cascadiarconf.org Who’s ready?! #RStats #DataScience

Check out @rfortherestofus.com presentation on ⭐️ 25 things you didn't know you could do in R ⭐️ from #rstats Cascadia R conf. Tons of stuff I didn't know about even as a longtime R user. So glad I decided to join this last minute. @cascadiarconf.bsky.social

Here's a small good thing you can do all month long. Two, actually. 1. Like, share, and comment on any library post featuring Pride books or messaging that's positive. You can influence the algorithm for good. 2. Write a letter to your library board thanking the library for Pride displays.

Harvard Chan scientists participate in a rigorous application process for federal grants to conduct their vital health research. The government has now terminated nearly every single one of those grants.

🧵 Why Typology Is Strategy—And What Comes Next Fighting disinformation doesn’t start with facts. It starts with clarity. This 11-type, 3D framework helps us define the problem before we act. Because if you can’t name it, you can’t counter it.

🧵 Why Definitions Matter in the Fight Against Disinformation If you want to fight disinfo, you need to know what you’re fighting. And that’s harder than it sounds. Terms like “fake news” are too vague. We need a shared vocabulary—and researchers have built one.

Foreign adversaries are pumping disinformation into our social media networks, but we know very little about the consequences let alone how to ameliorate them. For years, Republicans have harassed us for studying this. Now, NSF has canceled all funding. It’s a profound lapse in national security.

Nothing says Happy Mother’s Day like a protest for women’s rights. A few middle fingers but mostly support. 😍 💙 #resist #stl #mothersday

Thanks so much to @cghlewis.bsky.social for the invitation to run an "Introduction to Git and GitHub for R Users" for @r-ladies-stl.bsky.social yesterday - I really enjoyed it! Thanks also to @libbyheeren.bsky.social for helping out answering questions during the session! #RStats #RLadies

It's been such a joy curating We Are R-Ladies this week! 💜 Thank you for engaging in discussions about community & #datascience resources, tips, and tricks. Let's continue the conversation — connect with me at @alycolumbus.bsky.social and alyssacolumbus.com — happy coding, everyone! #rladies #rstats

AI helpfully changed "error" to "blunder" and "linear regression" to "straight relapse" in this lovely example of AI assisted publishing that you can share with your students and colleagues #LLM #ChatGPT #LOL #research #rstats 🤣🤣🤣

As a kid, I visited my dad in the hospital before he died of pancreatic cancer. Three years ago, I held my husband’s hand as he died of pancreatic cancer. People are doing the same right now all over the country. F#ck RFK jr and the ignoramus running the NIH.

A quick plot for #TidyTuesday this week - celebrating the addition of the penguins data into base R 🐧 I used {ggdist} to plot the distribution of body weights with four different chart types in one! 📊 I couldn't quite decide whether I prefer the light or dark version💡 #RStats #DataViz #ggplot2

NEW: The Trump Admin has been "covertly" withholding FEMA funds from Democratic states, seemingly as retaliation for sanctuary laws, a judge ruled. Hawaii is missing $6 million for widlfire aid. Oregon is waiting on $129 million for disaster prevention.

#rstats and #pokemon! Two of my favorite things colliding. 🫶

@merriahc.bsky.social and I have a new @jmirpub.bsky.social preprint on the spread of fact-checks ✅ and misinfo 🤥 on *that other platform* during #covid19 #therona. Check it out 🤓 here: preprints.jmir.org/preprint/73538

The CDC is no longer able to follow its mission due to RFK the Least. "as the number of confirmed cases rose to 483, more than 30 agency staff were told in an email that after a discussion in the CDC director’s office, “leadership does not want to pursue putting this on the website.”"

💙 New paper 💙 with @jphmpdirect.com. We found smaller and newer orgs working on child maltreatment were more likely to lose connections with partners during COVID. Participation in formal collaboration efforts helps maintain connections. journals.lww.com/jphmp/abstra...

My book is in there.

🎶 Welcome, my friends, to the machine. 🎶 Both of my books and well over half my articles are in this database.

In a recent interview with CNN, Harvard Chan School’s Mary T. Bassett (@fxbharvard.bsky.social) discussed recent public health headlines, including federal funding cuts to scientific research and global aid and the potential of another infectious disease pandemic.

Pre-orders are critical to helping us get the book onto best seller lists, so if you haven't ordered it yet, what are you waiting for?? Head to thecon.ai and pick up a copy wherever you obtain fine books. (Preferably a local bookstore!)

I'm sure this isn't the only story of its kind, but a colleague sent this Gofundme for his doctoral student whose years-long legal asylum journey was mistakenly ended and sent to immigration courts. He is graduating this spring and has started a family here. If you can help, please do.
