Anyone on here teach undergrad statistics and started integrating AI both for student use and for your teaching? Planning to spend the next month retooling our undergrad stats+methods series w responsible AI use. Have lots of ideas but curious what others have done. Please share!

Was the point of this supposed to be that most scientists aren’t rich? Probably had to be there 🤷 There is no universe where professors are blue collar. I know plumbers who make more than some starting faculty but their jobs and access to influence are way way different. I don’t see how this helps.

Spent this semester experimenting on how AI could enhance my stats and methods course. Plenty of uses and also some fun. Made this AI track to explain when you need ANCOVA 😆 😆 🤓 suno.com/song/33d938c...

The same damage being done to the stock market is being done to our health, securities & environment, there just isn't a stock ticker to show how bad it is for the others.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

So the perception of ideological bias is being replaced by the requirement/guarantee of a different ideological bias to stay employed? Got it. Not ironic at all.

What’s actually happening. Federal spending has been flat for yrs w exception of private contracts (like Elon just got for cybertrucks) which have absolutely skyrocketed. Sad that so many lower and middle income ppl are elated that civil servants who made like $200k were fired…by billionaires?? 😵‍💫

Got to chat with Ruby Bridges tonight at a fundraiser for one of her new projects (a camp in the outer banks). She was so nice and extremely down to earth. Talked about being called to do this work and part of that being a feeling like her life didn’t really belong to her. Heavy.

The narrative on old people being more likely to be fraud victims was tough to evaluate given how overtargeted they were for many years. Now seems tech is making it easier to target the young & ppl are now saying young adults are more susceptible. Anyone can be a victim. This is an all ages problem

When grad student TA, Joe Mikels, asked me if I’ve ever done research. I had no idea what that meant, and he said I should try helping with this emotion project between Fredrickson & Reuter-Lorenz labs. Also made me write my honors thesis when I wanted to quit & set me up for a post-bacc at Stanford

It’s not enough to have an open door. You have to stand outside of it and welcome people in. Thinking about this a lot across several teaching, research, and service initiatives this year. My mom raised me to always open the door for anyone - not a chivalry thing, a kindness thing.

This can’t possibly be a w/in Ss survey. Ppl can’t really think 6% of Americans make 500-999k but 20% make over 1million. Some serious numeracy issues here. Would love to see these raw data. Makes no sense at all.
