Very exciting addition to @UChicagoCS! Looking at professor @victorveitch’s prior work, came across a paper “Sense and Sensitivity Analysis.” Stats and Jane Austen, what more could you want?

.@ChipotleTweets what dark sorcery is it that as I eat my burrito, the foil is always ~just~ big enough to re-wrap my burrito?... and WHY is this magic not used so that my foil stays the same size and my burrito regrows to fit the foil? 🌯 🧙‍♀️ #chipotle #burritomagic

Thanks #NPRShortWave, @rhersher @lesommer, and @maddie_sofia for teaching me that Chicago has flooding issues as I’m looking to move to Chicago. I had no idea, this is super impactful journalism.

A friend asked me to run a virtual relay race on short notice a few weeks ago. I wanted to know how (un)prepared I was by looking at my training from prior races. So I made this. First time with #gganimate, thanks @thomasp85 and @drob! #rstats #dataviz #ragnar #strava #garmin

Watching the @NWSL Challenge Cup kickoff between @ThornsFC and @TheNCCourage is one of the most feel-good things I’ve seen on TV in a while. The embrace and emphasis on #BlackLivesMatter on a national stage sets an overdue example for other national leagues. #NWSLChallengeCup
