small piece of advice for new Bluesky users. These days me, as well as many others, are getting dozens of new followers every day. But please before following anyone, write something about yourself in your profile, and have a profile pic. You are more likely to get followed-back

yesterday I refereed a paper, read it from start to finish as usual, and sent the review to a journal. This morning I read on LinkedIn of the NotebookLM project by Google, an AI "research assistant". You can upload a paper and "interrogate" it. (1/4) https://notebooklm.google.com

If you work with mixed-effects modelling driven by stochastic differential eqs, I maintain a page with references: mostly papers, but also phd theses, software etc. You can PM me for missing references (the list focuses on methodological advancements) umbertopicchini.github.io/sdemem/
