Fantastic talk by @JAgterberger during the last session of #JSM2022 on his recent work that develops inference for entries of singular vectors. Very useful work, and beautifully presented, too! Looking forward to giving this a read | ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/97333…

@UschiLaa Thanks for a great talk and subsequent discussion; I really enjoyed it!

It was great sharing some of the recent developments in tour visualization at #JSM2022 today. You can find my slides at #1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">uschilaa.github.io/jsm22/#1 with lots of links to the various references!

#JSM2022 is right around the corner. 📅🤩🥳 Jacob Bien made a website to help identify talks of interest, based on your citation network: jsmscheduler.com And an R package to create a customized JSM schedule: github.com/jacobbien/jsm2… @AmstatNews @InstMathStat

Having a great time @SimonsInstitute workshop. Highlights included talks by @lihua_lei_stat, Ben Brown, and panel discussion with many luminaries. Also enjoyed meeting (in person) people from past #StatsPhD virtual events! |simons.berkeley.edu/workshops/stat…

@dan_marinazzo Haha, happy to remind you that I exist! I’ve been a bit quieter the past few years as I’ve been focused on progressing through my stats PhD, but am now (hopefully) moving into my final year and looking forward to branching out more again.

I was very fortunate to spend a fantastic week at the Complex Networks School at Lake Como. The lectures were engaging, the organizing very smooth, and I had such a great time networking (ha!) with the next generation of network scientists!

Just spoke with possibly the most competent customer support tech @Magellan_Rx I've ever interacted with; it was a real breath of fresh air! My account was in some weird limbo, and they clearly knew their systems well, figured out what was going on, and fixed it! Very satisfied!

GAME DAY.

If you're considering doing a #StatsPhD, consider joining us for a virtual panel discussion with current PhD students from @UMichStatistics, @UWStat, & @UCBStatistics happening this Wednesday at 8PM EDT / 5PM PDT. Sign-up at StatsPhD.com @ThisisStats @AmstatNews

Re-upping this…. @uwstat continues to encourage submissions to its Pre-Application Review Service, to provide support to Stat/Biostat PhD applicants. We especially encourage submissions from members of historically marginalized groups.

@john_t_ormerod Everything is cool when you’ve got CLT!

Zotero now has beautiful PDF annotation and a clever new system for taking notes (both in beta).
