I am thinking about making Dr. Singe’s Twitter required reading for the masters students in my class.

@PaulNWilliamz “I”

[Patrick Lyons @_plyons]

I’m exceedingly lucky to have mentors like @Terri_Hough and @prpayne5 keep the big picture in view, challenge my assumptions, and encourage me along the way… and to have the support of @HealthInnovLab, @WUSTLPCCM, @WashUi2db, and now @OHSUPulmCCM & @OHSUInformatics in this work.

[Patrick Lyons @_plyons]

…and (2) @kdpsinghlab sharing brilliant #rstats code, packages, and his rigorous thinking with our community on GitHub and this bird app. Without question, there is no better (or more generous) educator or role model in this space.

[Patrick Lyons @_plyons]

I’m so proud of this collaboration with @MRHofford, @apmichelson, @abraxasyu, @prpayne5, @Terri_Hough, and @kdpsinghlab, and grateful to @JAMAInternalMed for featuring it last week.
