The University of Nebraska is closing their statistics department. Especially if you're all in on AI this is so short-sighted. It's like launching the first spacecraft into outer space and being like "welp time to close astrophysics and rocketry and only teach classes on buckling up your seat belts"

All the material for my Bayesian Data Analysis course is available online, including the lectures, which we re-recorded this fall (some of them by @aloctavodia.bsky.social and Noa Kallioinen while I was on vacation). The video links are listed in the schedule at avehtari.github.io/BDA_course_A...

36 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I was a young graduate student studying physics at the time and I will never forget. #MontrealMassacre #NeverForget 🧪 👩‍🔬 ⚛️ 🎢 #AcademicSky 🇨🇦

Excellent news:

6 hours 30 mins they could do from this December, with one change in Badajoz or Elvas - but they're likely not going to do though So 🤷‍♂️ Whenever I hear about these long term plans for ES-PT rail, I wonder why they're not doing the basics with what they have right now? #CrossBorderRail

This xkcd is utterly brilliant and should be shared more: Vaccine research: xkcd.com/2515/ Rollover text: Honestly feel a little sheepish about the amount of time and effort I spent confirming "yes, the vaccine helps protect people from getting sick and dying" but I guess everyone needs a hobby.

I keep stumbling when, in biological data analysis, someone uses the word "noise" as if it represented an objectively existing, tangible thing. It is not. Noise is just another word for ignorance. Complicated but in principle deterministic stuff that ... (1/2)
