Been enjoying this new fun podcast on (weird) statistics in science, especially biology. They start with famous ideas like pheromones linked with HLA or vitamin D deficiency! Normal Curves. Hosted by Kristin Sainani @kristinsainani.bsky.social and @reginanuzzo.bsky.social www.normalcurves.com

Kristin Sainani is now on bluesky! @kristinsainani.bsky.social She unknowingly mentored me early in my PhD through her tips on how to go good science in her writing course. So I was only happy to return the favour by helping her onboard to bluesky! 😁😁 (If you know her, please suggest starter packs)

The two latest episodes of NORMAL CURVES discuss one of my favorite topics: the dubious studies and statistics that made vitamin D seem like the answer to everything. (including why the dinosaurs went extinct!) www.normalcurves.com/p/ www.normalcurves.com/vitamin-d-pa...

Excited about a new podcast for data nerds, Normal Curves. It's made by two funny and extremely smart statisticians, Kristin Sainani and @reginanuzzo.bsky.social. Subscribe here: www.normalcurves.com

Enjoying this new podcast, Normal curves: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2eM... Even though I know a lot about p-hacking, this episode was amusing, taught me some new things, and was also the perfect length for my daily walk. Not sure if hosts Kristin Sainani or Regina Nuzzo are on Bluesky? #statistics
