And we continue today with our #workshop on #teaching #statistics to #undergraduate students in the #LifeSciences
Here's a photo of the #plenary by Dr Peter Martin "Stories for the world beyond p < 0.05"
Excellent start of the year yesterday with the second edition of the Edinburgh #WinterSchool on #teaching #programming across disciplines!
Lots of exciting talks!
Journalists really need to stop referring to #ElonMusk's "Department of Government Efficiency" as if it were real. It's not, until and unless Congress creates and funds it. A president can listen to advice from anyone, but that's not the same as building an actual federal agency. Don't perpetuate a fraud. #journalism
Here's my #bash #fireworks script, to wish everyone happy new year!

Ever wonder about the basis for fear-mongering & conspiracy theories about mRNA vaccine? Wish you had a place to go when someone cites "proof"?
I've got you covered! In my latest post @PLOS, I buckle up for the waves of anti-vax claims likely to come at us in 2025 :
Do you know of any #rstats teams who could use some help in 2025?
I'm a freelance consultant with 10yrs of experience in #DataSci, #DataEng, #DataOps, and providing #SysAdmin for related tools. I primarily work with R, but I have enough SQL and Python knowledge to get by. I know my way around a linux terminal and docker-compose file. I'm also handy as an interpreter between IT and analytics teams. Open to many types of engagements (project-based, temp staff, etc).
If you have a need or a lead, I'd love to chat!
boosts welcome :-)
Spotify killed the Car Thing, but they don't have to die! When a company like Spotify decides to generate huge amounts of unnecessary e-waste, the community steps in to save them from the landfill.

Today is the day. Welcome to THE charger!
USB-C is officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.
This means:
The same charger for all new phones, tablets and cameras
Harmonised fast-charging technology
Reduced e-waste
No more “Sorry, I don’t have the right cable”
One charger to rule them all.
In case you missed it, the hackers who reverse-engineered DRM on Polish trains got sued by the train manufacturer…
…multiple times.
