I received a request to review an article this evening (November 13). The deadline to review was stated in the email as November 16. Honey, I'm good - but I'm not *that* good!

As an academic writing coach, here are the 9 mistakes I see PhD and grad students make when writing scientific papers. A thread 🧵 as long tweet: #1: Thinking it’s laziness when you are procrastinating on your paper 🦥 Most PhD students procrastinate writing their paper (aka

Weighing whether to keep or trash non-full rank material in OLS next year for advanced regression. It's "classic," but its value seems more sentimental and historical for the modern biostatistician. Would love to use this time for other things. What do you think? In or out?

Most #mHealth engagement research reports only on system use without considering cognitive reflection. We asked: How much reflection can we request of users while still achieving a high response rate? 🤔 Check out our new paper in JMIR Publications! mhealth.jmir.org/2024/1/e47632

This was a great opportunity to me. Although I'm not a clinician, many mentoring skills transcend. Also just all around great to have insights into all the wonderful things my clinical colleagues are doing with their learners.

I implemented my first Metropolis-Hastings from scratch this week (I think) and I could not be happier! Long overdue. But it's a good lesson in "oh, I am NOT DONE learning yet."

It's not just you! Vertex is - and I mean no offense to the other puzzles - the best one. It's the only one that never enrages me (I cannot say the same about, say, the Saturday crossword).

Pro tip: If you invert a matrix, don't just invert it again five lines later or you'll be scratching your head wondering why your standard errors are so badly off. Now, if I could only tweet (I'm sorry - X, formerly known as tweet) this to myself an hour ago...

I don't do a great job campaigning - but here goes! I am running for ENAR RECOM and would very much appreciate your vote! ENAR was the first conference I ever presented at (back in Baltimore, 2014 - as a grad student) and it's been my favorite conference ever since. <3

I think of this little poem I wrote years ago every "night before the first day of teaching." I'm afraid the "I was just a grad student" line didn't age so well 😅😭 I'm sure all y'all teachers out there can relate!

The informal fundamental theorem of linear algebra: "If something about X is making you unhappy, look at X^T X and/or X X^T and chances are you'll be happier."

A final request to consider voting for me for #ENAR #RECOM! I'm competing with five other fantastic candidates - but would love the opportunity to serve for my favorite conference of the year! =)
