I will not be using this platform in the future. You can find me on Bluesky: @RhubbBstat.bsky.social. See you on the other side

If you had told surly high school Rebecca that she would one day track 10,000 miles of running she would have just given you side eye and said whatever. (To be fair, that was high school Rebecca's response to pretty much everything.)

Every journey begins with a step.

@SarahLotspeich @StatGirlLAM @StatStaci5 @VoodooDoughnut I still haven’t eaten the peach fritter. So far I would say the corn fritter is the winner for me

[Rebecca Hubbard @RhubbBstat]

@SarahLotspeich @StatGirlLAM @StatStaci5 @VoodooDoughnut Donuts are near the top of my conference priority list

@SpiekerStats Ha ha ha. I used to be strongly against emoji in professional emails, but I started doing it a bit so my millennial colleagues won't think I'm hostile!

Hot tip: base your career decisions on who has the best swag

I, for one, am really digging Aptos and welcome our new font overlords

@SpiekerStats I witnessed a case of this and thought the speaker handled it very well. Unless it's truly disruptive (e.g. speaker unable to continue talk) I think it's best to let them handle it. Coming to the speaker's rescue undermines their authority.

[Rebecca Hubbard @RhubbBstat]

@Michael_Harhay This is very true. I do not notice a declined review. One thing that really gets my attention is repeatedly requesting extensions and then never completing the review. This is an incredible disservice to the authors.

Annnnnddddd we’re back! To everyone who has missed Miss Perry’s contributions to zoom meetings, get ready to hear her tell you all about my sabbatical.

[Rebecca Hubbard @RhubbBstat]

An important thing no one warned me about before my sabbatical was that my cat would find a new family whose zooms she can disrupt

[Rebecca Hubbard @RhubbBstat]

If you’re not getting up at 5am on a Saturday morning to run 13 miles in a dirndl what are you even doing with your life?

[Rebecca Hubbard @RhubbBstat]

@Ron_Wasserstein @WashStat Thanks, Ron! I'm looking forward to it!
