We are thrilled to be back this week with @bayesiangirl from @Zymergen as our @WomenInStat RoCur! #WSDS #Statistics #DataScience
🔦 Marian is a board member and Treasurer of International Society for Bayesian Analysis @ISBA_events.

To learn more about what we do in the lab take a look at our (updated) website: leah.johnson-gramacy.com/QED…
Start dates are very flexible, and the position may also begin remotely.
Happy New Year All! The QED Lab @ VT is hiring a postdoc to work on an NSF-funded project to build models of links between thermal traits of vectors and disease transmission: careers.pageuppeople.com/968…

ISO papers w/ stochastic models: I'm teaching an upper level undergrad course on stochastic modeling (broadly defined). Students come from math, stats, data sci. I'm looking for papers they could read & recreate a model, implement an alg, etc. Suggestions?

I'm looking forward to giving my first virtual department seminar today at UF Stats! Although the travel time is less, I'll miss the in person interactions....
New paper from our lab!
We've got a new paper out on the predicted thermal constraints on Zika transmission now and in the future, with @SadieRyan @wormmaps @morde @MatthewBonds3 @CourtneyMurdoc3 and others.

I am organizing our departmental Stats Seminar for spring semester. Any folks interested in giving a virtual talk? Talks must be on Stats (but can be heavily applied). I'd especially love to organize the whole term focusing on those that identify as women and POC.

#AcademicTwitter: I used to be a horrible scientific writer. I was paralyzed by writing anxiety & it took me FOREVER to write papers. Last year I published 14 scientific articles (8 first, 2 second, 2 senior-author) & 2 book chapters.
A thread⬇️on how I became more productive:

We've got an awesome new paper out at eLife today, lead by @MartaShocket! Take a look.
I have a paper out today! 🎉🎉🎉
Trait-based models for temperature effects on 6 mosquito-borne viruses, inc. West Nile + other temperate encephalitis viruses.
Human case data support that transmission for WNV peaks at a very moderate 24-25 C.

So everyone is talking about UNC's COVID-19 mess - and all that criticism is perfectly valid.
But we also need to talk about why the uni-administration probably had no choice.
Buckle up and let's talk about university finances and the 4 horsemen of the academipocalypse. 1/lots?
Another live stream of EFI related talks going on now!
Our #ESA2020 Symposia live stream starts @ 11:15am ET/8:15am PT and includes work we are doing in theory, forecasting standards, education & training, and connecting with social science and partners as well as plugs for the NEON Forecasting Challenge. youtu.be/6jO5kZr6Ncw

Happening NOW! Come see some great talks about Ecological Forecasting #ESA2020
Our #ESA2020 EFI-proposed forecasting oral session live stream will start in about 20 minutes with talks from @megan_vahsen, @rquinnthomas, @jstep818, @SeascapeScience, @ecolforecaster youtu.be/42nZ4yAwG1o

As a warm-up exercise to teach PCA I ask students to pretend they're a whale shark then ask them what angle they'd tilt their shark face if they were approaching a delicious krill swarm...

New viral load data #COVID19. Paper presents 4326 viral load values for patients by age (kids 10-19 equal viral loads as adults), sex, etc. from Switzerland plus viral loads for many other viruses.
Quick thread. @DrZoeHyde
