On the topic of my PhD, I was interviewed recently about the time Clay DeGayner and I found the first Burmese python in Florida Keys, it had eaten one of the radio collared woodrats we were tracking. Had to dig deep in the memory, it was 18 years ago! (I’m still deeply scared of 🐍!)

I found an old file on my computer from my PhD, my thesis was (broadly) on detectability of woodrats, named “WR detection curse.jpg” and I was very amused 🤣

Don’t be like me and spend a couple hours trying to work out why you can’t open file after rendering a docx in quarto, looking for code issues, update pandoc, check it renders to html, question your sanity, etc etc #rstats just download #flextable v0.9.9.4 from GitHub! github.com/davidgohel/f...

I’ve had the terrible experience of DVT lately, which among other things, has set of a chain reaction of doctors appts and specialists. Here is a pre-visit specialist survey form and it reminds me survey design is a whole profession for a reason #stats

A statistician complaining about jargon? The irony isn’t lost on me. Today’s culprit: “criticality analysis”. I read it as “critically analysis”. Reader, I was wrong. #stats

These kinds of catchy statistics leave me with more questions…. Why swap from 2 in 5 to percentages, and what happened to the other 18%? Just find it opaque and a bit pointless. Space filler in the magazine #stats
