The stratosphere is my favorite. I teach stats & math at Fitchburg State University. Arospec, she/her. Methodist. Texan/Oklahoman in the Northeast. Many sports, dance, books, roller coasters.
#MathsToday *great* logistic regression presentations from Advanced Stats students, and lots of "ohhhh, we should draw a picture for all of these" from ProbStat students

#MathsToday: Scatterplots, correlation, and regression both in Applied Stats and in a QR course I covered for a colleague today!

THAT INCREASE IN PRECISION OF YOUR ESTIMATE COMES AT THE COST OF MORE ASSUMPTIONS AND/OR OUTSIDE INFORMATION.
MAKE SURE THOSE ASSUMPTIONS ARE GOOD!!!

Then maybe adequately funding universities and supporting students would be a good idea.
Burrage: Oklahoma’s public college and university graduates stay here, fill critical jobs
While our focus as a higher education system is on student success – and rightly so – degrees lift up more than the individuals who earn them.

It is an absolute shame to see one of the most respected atmospheric science programs in the U.S. get eliminated in the UNL budget cuts. The proposed "savings" by gutting the program won't match the damage of the brain drain of knowledge for NE. The faculty and students deserve better than this.
They are really planning to go through with these cuts at Nebraska, despite recommendations not to. Unbelievable.
If you want to hire highly qualified, very successful earth and atmospheric sciences faculty in teaching and research, quite a few are probably looking for jobs for next year.

I have now watched Ruben Padilla's gold-medal-winning DMT pass about a dozen times, and it's so incredible to me that sometimes he lands the hardest passes in the world, and sometimes he does something a little easier and just... drops into it like it's nothing. Beautiful.
saw the men's tumbling and very sad for Kaden, haven't watched men's DMT yet

#MathsToday: Trying to pick up the pace in ProbStat but really glad we took the time for folks to get comfortable with the different discrete distributions.
Tried a different approach than in the past for introducing independent sample vs paired tests in Applied Stats. Not sure yet if it's better.

My partner has spent the last few weeks designing and building a launcher to make candy fall from the sky with parachute ghosts.
Not a super busy trick-or-treat night in our neighborhood, but the trick-or-treaters who did come by were *delighted*.

Tl;dr: the fact we were dealing with Hurricane Melissa is probably "more climate change than not," but the component of the storm that is the "climate part" of it is non-trivial but not massive, and the event could definitely have happened anyway. That's not how people are talking about it on here!
