But… Statistics *is* very much subjective, no matter how hard you try to make it sound objective. I would encourage people to use “subjective” even more, until we get past denial and begin to properly appreciate and interpret subjectivity.

仰观宇宙之大，俯察品类之盛，所以游目骋怀，足以极视听之娱，信可乐也。 Looking up, I see the immensity of the cosmos; bowing my head, I look at the multitude of the world. The gaze flies, the heart expands, the joy of the senses can reach its peak, & indeed, this is true happiness

I can speak from first hand experience that this is an opportunity you wouldn’t want to miss! Marc is the greatest mentor one can hope for.

Glad to see my academic sister Fan Bu from Duke Stats/UCLA Biostats already emerging as an important figure. She must have caught the same save-the-world-with-biostats bug from Marc Suchard 🙃

Congratulations to lead author Fan Bu and the team on the recent publication in Statistics in Medicine: Bayesian safety surveillance with adaptive bias correction. Marc Suchard Kristin Kostka Aki Nishimura onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/si…

Duke statistician Alexander Volfovsky delivered a prestigious Langford Lecture last week on how modern data structures require new causal inference models to answer questions on topics ranging from social media and polarization to optimal treatment for seizures, and more.

I just spent *90 minutes* hopelessly driving around campus searching for a parking spot. That took me across four parking structures, driving up and down more than 15 levels. Mind you, that is after paying almost $800 for a parking permit.

So proud!!

Such a tenacious fighter at the age of 37! Chased every point down while at his limits. #GOAT

Very thrilled, and humbled. Thank you so much for this recognition!

Just read “the lifecycle of software objects” by Ted Chiang. Completely blown away. Deep reflections on humanity, about growth, maturity, autonomy and free will, through a fascinating tale of humanized AI. It was written way before GenAI, but is still ahead of our time.

Couldn’t have envisioned this in my wildest dreams… I’ve been following their rivalry since 14 and made my first paycheck writing about tennis because of them. And now they are a team. Wow.

To single out one racial / ethnic group in a comment about unethical use of AI is unacceptable. I can’t even imagine if another minority group was targeted in the keynote speech, what the general outrage would be. We might be nice, but we are not pushovers.
