It is no secret that I miss being in the classroom. But last night I got to give a workshop - the first one I've done since my new book came out. I spent time with students tossing beach balls (!) and hopefully demystifying this whole "Bayesian" thing. Can't wait to do it again!

Seeing a book in print always brings conflicting feelings - joy, relief, and a looming "what's next?".
But today, I will focus on joy, for it is a beautiful book! It is the book I wanted to read a decade ago...but it feels pretty good to be the one who got around to writing it.

I am thrilled to get to continue my work on the Editorial Board of the J. of Numerical Cognition, now as an Associate Editor for the "Advanced Statistical Analysis" section.
One of my best papers is in this journal, so I feel a strong loyalty to it. Looking forward to this work for sure :)
