The story of finding and killing Pablo Escobar, told by Mark Bowden, one of the best storytellers in the geopolitical space.
I have finally worked through all of @avehtari & Gelman's "Active Statistics". Advertised as a resource mainly for stats instructors, I think it's prob just as useful for students and self-learners. The case studies alone would be a worthwhile text. https://t.co/Enbl2GMhy4
@razibkhan Dante Labs is a scam. They don’t return your results not respond to emails. It’s been months and haven’t received my results nor any confirmation that they are working on the results. I ordered from them based on this same post last year. Check BBB, many similar complaints.
Just uploaded the final solution set for my course for this year. There are nine (like the circles of hell) problem sets and elaborate solution guides available, ranging from intro probability theory to advanced multilevel modeling. Feast your mind freely: https://t.co/O7xFIbqqaH
@donlayman@BioLayne Please review this next…

The two perspectives that matter:
The decade and the day.

Is fructose uniquely fattening?
Is it uniquely bad for liver fat?
Since Robert Lustig made some of these claims recently (he's been saying this over a decade) many of you have asked my opinion
IMO the evidence does not support fructose being fattening outside of it's calories
Hard to say “Merry Christmas” when so many people around the world are suffering from human-inflicted pain.
But there is always hope for a better world and we must try to help each other more to achieve better days for all 🙏
Causal salad, causal design, causal inference. I did a 3 hour workshop in Leipzig yesterday on causal inference, aka why your regressions are garbage lolsob. Here's a recording of me covering the same content, I promise it's not boring: https://t.co/VGd9YyPsSe
Everyone needs to know about `easystats` in R
It is so much fun to use and then share with students
Teaching on regression and just used the check_model() function and look at this beautiful figure
