We now have 100 accounts in our University of York Starter Pack! The number 100 has great cultural significance, but of course it's not THAT different to the 98 we were on before we added @yorkfestofideas.bsky.social and @jimleary.bsky.social - we're excited about it nevertheless. Welcome!

I've written a Data Analysis Handbook that explains 8 common errors in data analysis: Selection Bias Regression to the Mean Correlation vs. Causation Clustering Illusion Gambler's Fallacy Base Rate Fallacy Survivorship Bias Simpson's Paradox It's short and simple and has examples of each one.

Really good advice here for #inclusion #AccessibleLearning #UDL
