@JamesSteeleII @polesasunder I think this is the correct answer because it definitely looks like you are using tidybayes

We have an open postdoc position. Interested in studying the prenatal and postnatal factors impact on child health, contact me.

Cutting food waste in the U.S. by 50% could be almost as beneficial to biodiversity as switching the entire U.S. population to a planet-conscious diet. See interview with @QuentinDRead about his research on creating a more #sustainable #food system: https://t.co/1jk5bYertI

Today, the radical right-wing supermajority on the US Supreme Court handed down its decision in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency. To be clear- this is a shockingly disturbing decision that hobbles EPA's ability to reduce climate pollution.

@_doctormidnight @writerjoe126 @ExLeftForFriend @TylerHodgson04 @NBCNewYork So, you'd prefer a police state where people can be punished arbitrarily harshly without the government having to produce any proof that they committed crimes???

@WeAreRLadies When I was a "data scientist," probably 25%, now that I am a "statistician," probably 50% -- although I'd say >90% is part of data cleaning and processing pipelines that lead to statistical models, which a lot of people on this thread say counts as stats 😎

Biodiversity from above: Can fusing lidar and hyperspectral #remotesensing predict tree diversity in temperate forests? https://t.co/Xwfzc2Q72Q - super congrats to @akamoske with help from me, @QuentinDRead @record_lab @Copa_do_Jatoba @doctorjackpine & @PLZarnetske #OpenAccess

1️⃣ Cut back on animal products—esp. red meat.
2️⃣ #BuyLocal products and limit consumption of out-of-season produce/specialty foods from far away.
3️⃣Eat what you buy.

Learn about the new @ScienceMagazine article from @SESYNC's @DrRachelMason, @QuentinDRead, @AElmoreUMCES & colleagues on declining nitrogen availability for plants—which could have important consequences for plants' growth & the animals that consume them. https://t.co/3OYqAZQNtx

.... then I tried to add a random effect and it all went to $h1t again .... sigh

it took me days of tinkering to get these #brms #stan #rstats models to converge but look at my beautiful babies!!! (gamma mixture models to capture the distribution of droplet sizes from a spray nozzle)

@SeemaSheth want :-D
