I can't believe people are posting about gas prices or their retirement accounts without talking about lives lost in the war. Are you all ok? Thoughts and prayers for your losses!

Unless you are my student or colleague, I don’t owe you an email.

I now made this my cover photo. Having a job with a public email address is overwhelming.

“la statistique bayésienne” — everything sounds classier en français

A wooden table with two books stacked on top of each other. The bottom book is the hardback edition of Discovering Statistiocs using R and RStudio by Andy Field, on top of it is the paperback edition. the hardback has a blue cover with plain text, the paperback has a he§xagonal pattern and a graphic-novel style female space pirate weirlding a futuristic gun out of which smoke forms the capital letter R.

Publication date looms ever closer ... physical copies exist (at the @sagepub.com London office, I await my own copy with excitement).

It is funny you say this because when I wrote this and compla about noise, I said to my husband “remember how peaceful Helsinki was”. The whole city felt like a quiet car and I loved it.

One of the reasons I read a lot of books in public is not to hear/pay attention to all the noise around me.

Taking the quiet car of the train for my commute to work regularly made me realize once again, we need more silent public spaces. There is just too much noise everywhere!

This is hilarious and now I’m kind of glad I screen recorded the site yesterday. I especially love that they deleted the “Will my professor know?” question.

There book cover and title “Everything Is Predictable: How Bayes' Remarkable Theorem Explains the World” by Tom Chivers is reviewed by a user named Brian with five stars with the following comment: There's a stereotype of computer users: Mac users are creative and cool, while PC users are businesslike and unimaginative. Less well-known is that the world of statistics has an equivalent division. Bayesians are the Mac users of the stats world, where frequentists are the PC people. This book sets out to show why Bayesians are not just cool, but also mostly right.

Interesting review of the book “Everything is Predictable“

A cat sitting by a puzzle with large pieces and looking at it.

Our younger cat in return is intrigued by the toddler’s toy.

Tell me more! What else should I know from PBS kids?

I have been babysitting my friend’s (almost) 4 year old lately and here are three things I learned.

1. There is no sitting in babysitting.
2. Cat toys work well with toddlers as well.
3. Sesame Street is even better than I remember.

A portmanteau between "smoke" and "fog," the Weather Bureau used it to describe conditions in the Midwest.

Smog wasn't invoked in LA much till the '40s. But even in the '20s "smoke & fog" was a common phrase here.
