I really enjoyed speaking about how we try to support the development of early career biostatisticians as they embark on their careers at #ICOTS12 in Brisbane. I've learned so much at this conference from the varied interesting talks! @mischhub.bsky.social

A new preprint on trends in spelling errors and what predicts spelling errors osf.io/preprints/os.... More authors mean fewer errors, and more errors mean fewer citations. Fewer errors over time, which is possibly due to more authors using LLMs.

Hi #rstats friends! I'm starting consulting! I've had a great journey in academia working with brilliant people, and while it's bittersweet (and a bit scary!), I'm excited for this next step. I'll still be maintaining {greta} and am hoping to be even more involved with the R community. 1/n
