Look! The @tandfresearch.bsky.social stand is ready for #JSM26 tomorrow. Literally the best stand in the Expo so a must-visit if you’re there!

Live shot of me buying a hard copy of @vincentab.bsky.social’s new book (see hand on pink book near bookshelf) 😂

Look what was waiting on my desk this morning! It's so great to finally see #BayesianWorkflow in print.

I see now we missed an opportunity by not entitling our book "Bayesian Odyssey" instead of "Bayesian Workflow". The priors are polytropic! Still all the case studies are online avehtari.github.io/Bayesian-Wor... (and python translations arviz-devs.github.io/bayesian-wor...) for your adventure

👀 New blog post! 👀 Ever made a *spaghetti* line chart and wondered how you can make it more accessible and more aesthetically pleasing at the same time? 📈 Read this blog post: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/accessi... #DataViz #RStats

Some 15 years ago my colleague Parry Clarke said to me, "Dude stop complaining and write your own stats book!" So I did. It definitely changed my life, and I'm glad it has had a positive impact on others.

Since 2013, “Stats + Stories” has explored the stats behind the stories & the stories behind the stats—from sports to pop culture, health, and more. The podcast was recently featured in “Behind the Mic: Meet the Minds of the ‘Stats + Stories’ Podcast.” tinyurl.com/39nbf82d @johnbailer.bsky.social

🚀 Excited to speak at the Rome R User Group Thu, Nov 27 (6PM CET)! I’ll show practical workflows for geospatial predictive mapping in R — including tools to avoid spatial bias and improve prediction reliability. More info: www.meetup.com/rome-r-users... #RStats #Geospatial #GISchat #RSpatial

In honour of today being the second-most-popular day to be birthed, here's my second-favourite birthday distribution chart

Lovely to see all the books from the series💚 @clairemkbowen.bsky.social @johnbailer.bsky.social

There was lots of data to play with for #TidyTuesday this week where we're looking at the power of different passports! ✈️ I decided to try out the idea of using small multiples and highlighting to untangle a spaghetti chart with lots of lines 📊 #RStats #DataViz #ggplot2

Inspired by @nrennie.bsky.social excellent #TidyTuesday plot on the power of passports, I adapted the idea to look at refugee origins. This chart ranks countries of origin of refugees, asylum-seekers, and others in need of international protection, grouped by region. #RStats #ggplot2 #Refugees

My personal library's looking healthy 😁

September is #GynaecologicalCancerAwarenessMonth. #OvarianCancer is the most devastating gynaecological cancer in the UK. The UKCTOCS trial involved over 200,000 women to explore if screening could save lives, but it wasn’t without challenges. 🎧 Discover the insights in this #TrialTalk episode:

I'm really looking forward to this session! Some of the things I'll be talking about include: 📖 Writing about #RStats with #QuartoPub ✍️ Working with @laracrc.bsky.social at CRC Press 📊 How it all started with some #TidyTuesday charts! #StatsEd #DataViz

At @royalstatsoc.bsky.social conference next week, I'll be talking in the 'Book Publication as a Scholarly Activity for Statisticians' session @ 11.30 on Thu 4 Sep - which I'm really excited about! (Very subtle announcement that there's a #DataViz book from me coming soon!) #StatsEd #RSS2025Conf

For this week's #TidyTuesday data about Billboard Hot 100 Number Ones, I decided to make a sheet music-themed chart 📊 - that will probably manage to annoy #DataViz people as much as music people! 🎶 Thanks to @jenrichmondphd.bsky.social for curating the data! #RStats #ggplot2

Just in time for the start of a new school year - a podcast discussion of evaluating student success. Also check out other Stats+Stories education-related #podcast episodes #EduSky statsandstories.net/education

CRAN: "thanks, package heplots_1.7.8.tar.gz is on its way to CRAN!" Added a distancePlot(), a very nice diagnostic plot for multivariate linear models.Shows leverage & outliers together in a way that shows both problems. See: friendly.github.io/heplots/
