I cannot evangelize enough for @zotero.org for citation management. It's a game changer. If you're a student, and you're writing a paper right now, and you're NOT using Zotero, I ask you...why? Why are you making things harder than they need to be?

this could never be me, I spent my 20s going to gigs without ear plugs
No, but sometimes I'm haunted by an otolaryngologist who was *amazed* by my ears. I was around 25 and went for a quick free check up. He said my ears look like I'm "in high school". So now I keep wondering if I've been walking around with these above average perfect ears and doing nothing with it.

We wrapped up #ASC2025 yesterday, yet I still can't wipe the smile off my face. It was a great week of talks, science, and statistics, but my highlight was meeting the wonderful community we have in #statistics. I hope everyone had a great time in #Perth. I'm looking forward to #ASC2028 in Adelaide.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

learn an instrument, join a band, spend your teenage years and your twenties killing your bad brain cells and your eardrums with a bunch of other dopey stoners from a wide variety of backgrounds and gender preferences, you come out on the other side with only good brain cells, it's science
If it weren't for a positive chance encounter at 19, I could have easily fallen into that. We men really need to make an effort to put the young dudes we encounter onto positive paths. Don't ask me how, I don't know.

In the UK at least, as recently as 40-odd years ago, any degree from a university was considered proof you were bright, could learn and adapt, and were a good prospect; companies would employ you in any field.
Thatcherite policies destroyed this concept and forced 'vocational degrees'.

The ideology that was sold to tech workers by tech owners was that the workers were not like other workers, that they were very special boys who were entitled to high salaries and cushy perks due to the STEMy brilliance required to do their job. Easy to see the lie now that it's falling apart.
