What is it @github.com @githubeducation.bsky.social? Am I faculty or am I not faculty? Why do you keep asking me the same question, after saying you won't ask for 2 years, and then not believing my answer?

I was in Portland last weekend. It was fine and fun, as always.

When thinking about causal inference, mechanistic or process models are important. I think that the association of “causal” with black-box models leads to lots of problems. statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2025/09/19/w...

The best thread I have seen on tonight’s events

Closing a Department of Statistics, in this day and age, is incredible and shortsighted. Please, read below. I encourage everyone from all over the world to submit their feedback here apc.unl.edu/fall-2025-bu...

At any rate, if you know of any good stats departments that are looking for someone with a new #NSF #CAREER award starting Oct 1, let me know. I do #datavis and #forensics research and teach #statcomputing with #rstats and #python. I have a 2-body problem but open to many different locations anyways

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Unbelievable. A University shutting down a Department of Statistics in this day and age highlights the sheer incompetence of its governance. @amstatnews.bsky.social @instmathstat.bsky.social @canssi-incass.bsky.social My thought is with all the members of the Department in this difficult moment.

Come work with us! UC Irvine Cognitive Sciences is looking for a new Assistant Professor to join our team: recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09896 I'm not on the committee, but happy to talk if you're interested.

The Journal-to-Conference track is back at AISTATS🌴! The track invites authors of papers published or accepted after January 1st, 2024 in AoS, Biometrika, JASA, JMLR and JRSS B to present their work as posters at #AISTATS2026 in Tangier, Morocco (May 2nd-5th 2026). 📅 Deadline: 31 January 2026

Had a talk canceled because guest lectures at the institution haven’t (yet) been approved by higher-ups. Never heard of such tight control, but hopefully my removal from the list will make approvals easier 🙂

HUGE: The Trump administration will no longer permit any solar or wind projects on federal lands unless they produce more energy-per-acre than coal, gas or nuclear power plants. Solar and wind literally produce less energy per acre, so simply this may just kill off any project on federal lands.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

“The biggest change in this report is that the Labor Department said it had significantly overestimated job gains in May and June. Job creation in those months was revised lower by 258,000 jobs — bringing June job creation down to 14,000 and May to 19,000, both very low levels” wapo.st/458s9wR
