Boris is drinking up our supply of spiced ginger beer. #parrotsky

Last week, I attended the Australian Statistical Conference in Perth.

I reconnected with old friends, made many new connections, and had the privilege of listening to some excellent research presentations.

Here I am with one of my colleagues, Dr Quokka Q. Quantile.

Boris craning his neck to get a good look at something 🦜#parrotsky

Boris fighting off scurvy by eating a bit of mandarin. Don't worry; I took it off him after a few bites so as not to upset his little tummy (crop?).

It always gives me so much joy to watch parrots grip their favourite snacks like children eating ice cream cones.

Boris here has an almond sliver.

How I feel after submitting a paper...

Yummy bread 🥖

Vladimir the Vladistician checking over his manuscript before he sends it out to a journal for peer review and publication. (If his paper gets rejected, he will cry.)

My anti-research assistant, Dr Boris B. Bayes, PhD. His research interests include
(1) Optimal methods for screaming louder than 120dB,
(2) Finding excuses to bite, and
(3) Figuring out where fruit and almonds come from and how to make them appear on command.
