Does anyone have a list or folder of bad data visualizations that they can share with me that are appropriate for middle school students learning about graphs? I'm thinking of bad axes, bar charts that mislead, etc.

I need to run an analysis that I think is best done Bayesian but I’m a perpetual Frequentist who has only dabbled in Bayesian inference tools. What resource should I use to help guide me? I think I can do what I need using brms. #statssky

Be like the goose

Just got promoted to Full!

Rewatching Community, John Oliver (the psychology professor) is channeling how we all feel when data misbehaves... #stats

data visualization is my passion.

My (still unfunded) 1st percentile score and I definitely feel this…

Four years of sobriety.

New post! Are you following @sketchplanations.bsky.social ? He is great at explaining complex ideas via text and images, and some of those complex ideas are statistical.

I'm looking for a good resource on the implications on psychometric properties and response patterns when using Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree vs Never/Rarely/Sometimes/Often/Always Likert scales on surveys. Anyone have anything I should read?

Had a great time presenting my work at @enar-ibs.bsky.social #ENAR2026

Lovely to see former NYU #A3SR students thriving at #ENAR2026

Proud to be an @enar-ibs.bsky.social member when #ENAR2026 shows it’s values with these name tag ribbons and pronoun stickers

Who’s going to #ENAR2026? Looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones!

Still not too late to catch my talk today at 11:15 am NYC time. It’s on Studying Queer Data While Living It: Positionality, Power, and Practice

Happy to teach an intro stats or intro research methods class on survey design.

Don't you f**king dare.

📣 registration for the rainbowR conference is now live 🎉 The conference is for anyone interested in R and/or analysing data to understand LGBTQ+ issues. The majority of speakers and workshop leaders are LGBTQ+, but you do not have to be LGBTQ+ to attend. pretix.eu/rainbowr/con... #RStats #LGBTQ

Do I have any Canadian contacts working in the Queer data space that are interested in submitting a grant with me? Must be at a Canadian university. Topic would be gender affirming care in trans individuals. I have a proposal idea.

Feeling especially sad and frustrated with the state of scientific funding in the US right now. It’s devastating that good grants with scientific merit are unfundable because their topics disagree with the politics of administration I know this isnt new but it’s hitting me hard and personally today

This is a cool call for papers. Anyone want to work on something with me to submit to this. I only have a few vague ideas so I’d be happy to collaborate with someone who has a more structured idea.

It always brightens my day when my students papers get accepted. Love to see the talent of the next generation of statisticians!

As we head into the new year, let's all be gentle with ourselves and our bodies. You are the one who determines your own goals. You are the one who knows what food makes you feel good and nourished. You are the one who gets decide what you eat. Trust yourself.

Time to replace the document called Fall To Do with Spring To Do. Contents? The same

Time to motivate myself to grade all day. 8 down, 21 to go

Looking forward to this talk! Come join me for a discussion on queer data!

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

🌈 The website for the inaugural rainbowR conference is now live! 🎉 🗓️ Save the date: Feb 25th-26th, 2026 📣 Call for submissions is open 👯 We're bringing together LGBTQ+ R users to promote our work and foster connections among community members conference.rainbowr.org

Had a great time giving a talk today at Fordham!

NYC based instructors: we're looking for an adjunct for a graduate level Ethics of Data Science class this Spring. Please share widely apply.interfolio.com/175474

I usually give a lecture in my grad-level survey design class about political polling. This year I want to update it and focus more on general policy opinion polls. Anyone have good resources or examples I should reference?
