The Datasaurus Dozen is a collection of thirteen datasets that, despite having nearly identical summary statistics—such as mean, variance, and correlation—exhibit vastly different distributions when visualized. This underscores the critical importance of graphing data to uncover underlying patterns that summary statistics alone may obscure.

Your 1st research project doesn't need to be groundbreaking. Start small!
There are many ways to begin. Pick what fits your schedule and interests.

— Write letters to journal editors
— Join ongoing research projects
— Help with literature reviews
— Present at conferences
— Team up with peers

If you're a student, you likely have more free time now than you ever will.
⤴️ Use it wisely.

Every expert researcher started as a beginner!

Students don't need a perfect teacher. Students need a happy teacher, who's gonna make them excited to come to school and grow a love for learning.

New work reveals the impact of anxiety & depression on PhD students.
"Anxiety and depression can have a substantially detrimental impact on graduate students’ experiences [..] and likely also contribute to increased time to degree and student attrition."

Doing a PhD is a huge investment in yourself. You'll know if it's for you. The pursuit of knowledge and the ability to contribute to a field make you powerful.

Don't let anyone put that spark out.

This was a big part of my MS and PhD because forensics ALWAYS have to be able to explain what we do to the public.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

The hill I will die on: STEM grad programs MUST teach PhD students how to communicate their science to the public and legislators alike. This is 💯 not a drill.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

“All living organisms we know of are related and closely interact in a giant ecosystem of life. We are bound by a deep connectedness to all other life. All the species we see around us are life’s great survivors, the latest descendants of a single immeasurably vast family lineage that stretches back through an unbroken chain of cell divisions in the far reaches of deep time.”

Medicine laureate Paul Nurse opened the 2022 Nobel Week Dialogue with an inspiring and comprehensive examination of life.

This year we will delve into the topic of health. Without health, there can be no dreams, no future. But what does health truly mean?

Join us on 9 December for conversations with Nobel Prize laureates Charles Rice, Michael Rosbash, Olga Tokarczuk, and Drew Weissman to discuss and envision our future.

A great coffee social today by Graduate Women in Science at OSU-CHS! @LabIsLife was a fantastic guest. Fav quote: "Resilience doesn't come naturally. We have to go through the gruff to build it."

PSA: All #rstats package on #cran will get an official DOI!

This will facilitate bibliometrics and giving credit to R package authors.

Registering all 20,000+ packages will still take a few more days. But the first couple of thousand are already live. Example:

If I recently bought a new coding, bioinformatics, data science, or forensics book it's 110% because I decided to open X and start reading tweets. 😂😂

[Vince Buffalo @vsbuffalo]

We can easily make computational science less fragile! But we don't because it's costly and granting agencies and hiring committees do not reward this type of work, sadly. An unknown but likely sizable fraction of results are wrong...

[Vince Buffalo @vsbuffalo]

I bet some bioinformatics results have merge errors caused by bad joins on variant positions — @jgschraiber and I were just discussing this. Why? Because VCF is 1-based, BED is 0-based, GTF/GFF is 1-based, BAM is 0-based, SAM is 1-based. Joins on (chrom, position) key are bad.

This was a shocking book.

I just finished it and wasn't expecting what I learned.

Every Machine Learning and Data Science practitioner should learn about causal inference.

It's a different way of thinking. It makes me look at the world with different eyes.

[Allie Sherier, Ph.D. 🧬💻 @AllieSherier]

Additional details: was trying to write code for calculations but was getting confused with variable names in the function. So draw -> then rename things so I don't have to do this again.

[Allie Sherier, Ph.D. 🧬💻 @AllieSherier]

Reminder that even "professionals" in industry have to draw out stuff out when thinking...
Also, I had to remind myself that I was a "professional" in industry while looking at this wondering if anyone else does this.
