A little birdie told me that now is a good time to dust off any stories you might have about data projects gone wrong 😅

I think the bottom line is I need one app for things other people want me to do (calendar/email) and one app for things I want to do (reminders/todo).
I've found putting things that I *want* to do in my calendar has an opposite effect and I end up not doing it. So for those kinds of things I use Todo/Reminders apps that are pinned to specific dates/time so they pop up like a calendar (but not on my calendar). 🤷🏻♂️
I wouldn't include it in the "Talks" section but might maybe in the "Teaching" section if it could reasonably be considered a class of some sort (or part of one?)
The best part of this job is working with great people!
Got to see @rafalab.bsky.social this week while visiting Boston and he gave me this amazing present!

What are the biggest **empirical** successes of “multivariate statistics”?
Should be fields/industries that a built around them. Eg:
pageRank in web search
factor modeling in finance
phylogenetic reconstruction in evolution
These are currently my best examples. What else?

I'm experimenting with data from the World Cube Association (www.worldcubeassociation.org/export/results). Not sure about causal inference but maybe prediction. Data is very clean and requires merging across tables.
I really like my Nissan Leaf. Newer models have better range, but it's perfect for getting around town.
The best part of university libraries is walking in looking for one book and walking out with five.

My feed here is too devoid of rockets and spacecraft. Where the space people at?
Just wrote two sentences for a grant so I think I deserve a cheeseburger.
