So proud of @ashleymullan.bsky.social -- featured on the cover of @significancemag.bsky.social! Check out her beautiful interrupted time series plot 😍

And for my next talk, “The Role of Congeniality in Multiple Imputation for Doubly Robust Causal Estimation” #IDWSDS2025 In which I insist imputation models MUST include: ✅outcome ✅exposure ✅all in PS model ✅all in outcome models *in the same functional form* 🎞️: www.lucymcgowan.com/talk/idwsds_...

I am SO enjoying celebrating International Day of Women in Statistics & Data Science by attending #IDWSDS2025 My first talk of the day: The Art of Data Refinement: Severance Analyses 🎞️ Slides: lucymcgowan.github.io/mdr-talk/ (All made in Quarto ♥️) Here is a sneak peak:

If you’re at the ISI conference, I’ll be here until Friday!

Quick little update to quarto-revealjs-editable Now works with `::: editable` in addition to `::: {.editable}`. Not shown in gif. github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto

Not loving these MMRV headlines, they feel misleading! The vast majority of kids under 4 in this country get MMR and V separately when they’re ~1 and this is what will still happen. The combined MMRV is what is changing, but that was not commonly given to young children already

Another delightful #positconf in the books! So lovely to see everyone 🌻 I miss it already! Especially excited about: 🤖 @minecr.bsky.social’s aifeedr 🌬️ Making my code pretty like @davisvaughan.bsky.social’s with air ✨ @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social’s editable quarto magic 📈 everything @kjhealy.co said

Does Jenny Bryan #VibeCode? 🤔 She shared on the Hangout that she's been thankful that she gets to learn #rust and #typscript in the age of #AI and these are her thoughts on #LLM use. (We really need a #RubberDuck emoji 🦆) #rstats #databs #VibeCoding #DSHangout #python

We are hiring into 3 (THREE!) tenure track lines this year at Wake Forest — if you’re looking please reach out, I love chatting about our department! We are a vibrant group that love & embrace the teacher-scholar model 👩‍🏫

Wake Forest will welcome more than 1,500 first-year students this week as the Class of 2029 arrives from 45 states, the District of Columbia and 22 countries.

I've stumbled upon an odd data resource. The FCC "Mapping Broadband Health in America" tool purports to be about mapping broadband internet access, but actually is the easiest source I've ever found for linking state-level averages across a zillion different topics c2h.fcc.gov/broadband-he...

I was recently on a panel talking about Synthesize Bio and the future of AI in biotech! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR5s...

The answer to this is YES there is something I can fix, update my positron (thank you @davisvaughan.bsky.social 🙏😅)

Dev and deploy require of diff skills. @getdbt.com bridges the gap for #data pipelines, but what about MLOps? I explored how @posit.co {orbital} + dbt delivers "good enough" zero-infra MLOps for batch model scoring in database from python or #rstats models www.emilyriederer.com/post/orbital... 1/

I’ve been dipping my toe into using Positron for #rstats (have been using for everything else for 9 months or so and do love it!) and the biggest pain point is the limit on what I can run in the console - like even fairly tiny shiny apps require source() 😫 is this something I can fix?

this is my TS album drop 🤩

omg 👀

@hadley.nz & #rstats friends, is there a way for me to use gpt-oss with ellmer?

REPLACE_WHEN!!! Aaaaaaaah this is like an 8 year dream come true!!!

Made a Starter Pack to help us #user2025 attendees find each other and stay in touch! 👉 go.bsky.app/NjYV48L (hopefully I did this right... 🤓) Let me know by replying here if you attended UseR and would like to be added, I'll try to update regularly! 🥰

The #JSM2025 roasts getting a reprise at @hadley.nz’s #user2025 keynote 😂

The highlight of my #jsm2025 talk was @hadley.nz roasting the panel with ChatGPT.😂 I also love that he talked about aspiring to kindness!

Huge congratulations to two of my favorite colleagues @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social & Staci Hepler on their SUCH well deserved CWS awards at #JSM2025 👏 👏

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Technical writing is hard bcs "writing is thinking" but we often should tell our story not in the order we worked. Solution? I wrote a quick post on how @quarto.org 's embed shortcodes can reframe technical writing as reproducible evidence curation www.emilyriederer.com/post/quarto-... 🧵 (1/n)

Bayesians falling for the wizard when he sailed in to save their posteriors

Dr. Hepler is being recognized for her influential theoretical and applied work in multivariate and spatio-temporal Bayesian modeling, which she has effectively applied to advance ecological research and opioid misuse survey methodologies.

I have deleted the data that were in the database and which you were probably saving for production Forgive me I was panicked So artificial And so intelligent

This was such a wonderful discussion, if anyone has any ideas for helping build curiosity in the classroom please share!!

Spontaneously booked a same day there & back to Disney from NC (RDU 🛫 6am 🛬 midnight 🙈) in a week & a half for a friend’s birthday Tagging my favorite theme park experts for advice? 🤞 😂 ✨ cc: @lentesta.bsky.social @crispylemonstp.bsky.social @paulscheer.com @jasonsheridan.bsky.social

Had a fantastic time talking with @lucystats.bsky.social and @epiellie.bsky.social about data science communication, causal work in academia vs industry, and more! (wherein I also soft commit to ~3 WIP blog posts 😬) One of my all time favorite podcasts — downside is I get one fewer net new episodes

Join @lucystats.bsky.social for "Understanding Statistics in Medical Literature", July 22–25. Learn how to decode stats, visuals, and study design in clinical research.

This was such a fun conversation — I am a HUGE fan of @emilyriederer.bsky.social’s writing, it was great to get to talk with her about some of it!

"This connection of all of the methods to simple sampling ideas, unfortunately, has been obscured by the fact that all of the papers cited use a different notation for the quantities of interest. " -- Therneau & Li, on case-cohort designs

👏 Huge congratulations to Assistant Prof @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social Lotspeich for her Societal Impact Award from the @cwstat.bsky.social! Dr. Lotspeich is being recognized for her outstanding efforts and impact on social justice through your collaboration, leadership, and partnerships.

Our next podcast episode is out now. If you’re at SER, don’t forget to download it so you’ll have something to listen to on your flight home!

🎙️ This week @epiellie.bsky.social & @lucystats.bsky.social chat with @carlybrantner.bsky.social about combining data, treatment heterogeneity, and making effects generalizable! casualinfer.libsyn.com/site/combini...

I always love chatting with Carly!! This week’s is an awesome one!

So, so, so enjoying Melody Goodman's 'don't work with jerks'. My philosophy too, and something I've been able to glory in much more since becoming more senior.

📣 July 22-25 I’ll be teaching an online short course on how to read and understand statistics commonly found in medical literature — tell your clinician friends! @stathorizons.bsky.social statisticalhorizons.com/seminars/und...

In October I'll be giving a 2-day workshop at @stathorizons.bsky.social about how to make beautiful websites with #QuartoPub! Learn how to make and deploy personal websites, research websites, an course websites all with minimal HTML/CSS
