Despite being so late in the series, this was my first Pendergast book. If you haven't read the rest they are delightfully ridiculous.

I still look back at my dissertation text and grimace. People still call me Dr though. Good one is a finished one!

Those really were great times. I still use the OR tweet wars in teaching. If only to demonstrate how important clear communication about what you think you are estimating is.

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.
A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC
News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Any epi course saying stepwise is okay should be thrown into the sun. Not saying this doesn't happen, but that'd be a wild thing to see in an epi course.

"You need to use a Mann-Whitney U Test here because the data is non-normal!"

My brother in Christ, I have no idea what that is but I most definitely do not need to use it to answer this question

The sort of shit you see in authoritarian/dystopian cyberpunk movies

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

the irony is that what the right offers is a kind of kabuki masculinity that signals gender anxiety and immaturity more than anything.

Wish I had advice beyond "just keep beating your head against the wall until someone finally listens", but that's all that I ever managed to figure out as a solution

Policy studies where the results are not what people "want" have been the hardest ones to publish.

The worst drama was a study where public health folks (including in my own department) were strongly in opposing camps.

Best of luck!

Is there a specific reason you want an estimate or test of the shape beyond just graphing it?

Love Bayesian inference. My prior just happens to be whatever gives me the same answer as the frequentist method I used.

This is my most "lazy quant methodologist" take that I may actually stand by...

One of my first independent collabs, I was asked to "fix" a study that was so flawed that the IRB flagged it as an ethical issue (vulnerable pop). Sat down with the research group to have the PI walk in rant "it's people like YOU keeping us from doing important research." Last time I spoke to them.
