😍 Really enjoyed the session, thank you again to our speakers!

Even if it did mean I got comments from a few men; one to tell me that he wouldn't have come if he knew it was going to be about women in stats (but were glad I "tricked" him) and to advise me to try to avoid being "too divisive" 🙄

😄 When you find an analogy that perfectly fits, and you know you're going to use it to explain what you do...

"Consider a phase I-II design to be like a Labradoodle" 🐕🐩

2.2 Elements of Phase I-II Designs

One may consider a phase I-II design to be like a Labradoodle, which is ob-tained by cross-breeding a Labrador Retriever with a Poodle. Labradoodles enjoy the desirable quality of heterosis, or hybrid vigor, since they have greater genetic diversity and hence better overall health than either of their parents. Hybrid clinical trial designs, if carefully constructed, enjoy similar advantages over the simpler designs that motivated them. The analogy is not strict, how-ever, since both Labradors and Poodles both are fine canine breeds, whereas the most commonly used phase I or phase II clinical trial designs suffer from logical and ethical flaws, as we demonstrated in Chapter 1

I'm excited by this year's programme of events at @royalstatsoc.bsky.social

Had a sneaky peek of plans from the @rssdiversity.bsky.social, @rssedinburgh.bsky.social, and draft #RSSConf programme - there's a lot of great things coming and many many more groups and sections still to announce

How would you communicate that being a "logical robot" 🤖 is better for the "greater good", and that the emotional response to deviate from the plans is not a sensible thing to do?
