Letting go of Davis is going to be rough for me 'cause I love being reminded of you. Here's some footage of the greatest stats gang UCD has ever known. #StatFrat #StatsClub #ThetaOmegaPiHat #ApartmentOfStatistics #MyAnacondaDont #pipinstallwordcloud #KP

I was reminded of Twitter on a meeting today. Watched my old graduation video. Realized how much fun undergrad was. Grad school was terrifying, but cool too. 2020 sucked, no debate.

POV: I am where I wanted to be years ago. I struggle to appreciate that.

[felic-edie smoak @palautatan]

Here's my story. I was c/o of 2017 and c/o of 2020 🎓.

In undergrad, ALL I wanted to do was go to grad school to be a biostatistician.

In grad school, ALL I wanted to do was be a data scientist.

I got the data scientist offer. Lost it cause 2020.

Me now: biostatistician. 😵‍💫

Here's a wholesome #geriatrics #biostatistics #statistics update from me... I recently worked on 2 projects where the papers are all done! I realize I've been dabbling in research for a long time, but ... I've never actually gotten this far. My team is just a whole herd of GOATs.

[felic-edie smoak @palautatan]

I love my job. It's cool/inspiring/EXCITING to learn all about #geriatrics through healthcare data.

But I'm ANGSTY RiiiIIIghTT now BeCaaauuuSEE I'm dealing with TYPOS Typ0s TYPOS TYYYPOS everywhere, so this data cleaning thing is my absoLutE personal H3LL.

I can’t tell you how much I miss having Millennial statistician/data bros to understand my squeals

Don't say "I think the plots will look like a city skyline" and expect me not to

Thursdays are my most productive days! Guess being at the karate studio on Wednesday really amplifies my discipline🥋

[felic-edie smoak @palautatan]

But I mean, by the end of 2+ months, we iced our recruiter and had plenty of deep convos while our models busied our laptops.

And now we’re going as dates to @sub_re_tweets wedding. 💛

One feature I don’t have from WFH is coworker chitchat. I’m on & off meetings for subject matter only. 🤣 Which actually is so very me. It took me SO long to even have coworker convos with my Gap interns. Idk why? Shy? Too focused? I’m not really anti-social … 🙃

The weekend… time to… have the server all to myself.

[felic-edie smoak @palautatan]

My prime productivity hours are from 1:00pm-1:00am. 😩 No matter how much I try to be a regular 9:00-5:00 person, I am just not one!

It’s the little things for me, like choosing CORN FREAKING FLOWER BLUE

@junekay92 @nic_crane How did you get this? 😹 It could be my favorite too.

[Walter Hickey @WaltHickey]

revisited this chart today because i'm personally finally at the point where the lines are peeling apart and damn this is still so cool

[felic-edie smoak @palautatan]

3 months in with UCSF now ➡️

I feel valued by my coworkers, am reasonably challenged by my projects, and believe my work to be impactful. 🥺 I’m definitely vibing & thriving & grateful.

I’m still receiving rejection letters..... 😹 Thanks, @Walmart !!!

[felic-edie smoak @palautatan]

Think the most maddening thing for me when working in other statistical programming languages is that I love to use @rstudio‘s side panel for tracking my subset dimensions... I feel empty without it
