Hear me out…

What about teaching students LLM-guided tidyverse!?!

With some help from Claude Code, I have the app I've always wanted:

elicitcausal lets you design a causal graph with your theoretical priors & preregister it. Then after you complete a study, you can upload your graph and get estimates of causal learning.

A wasted opportunity for RickRollmaxxing!

I believe the Gen Z kids call this causalmaxxing 😎

By leveraging advances in #Bayesian statistical methods, this meta-analysis quantifies the role of publication bias in the field of #dexmedetomidine for #delirium prevention in #cardiac surgery patients

Revman and the idea of standardizing meta-analysis was brilliant in the 1990s. That is no longer the case.

Today, my pipes have pipes. Pipe-ception, if you will.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Not even cars? Or Lego? Or mountain biking?

It’s not too late! Devise your score and we can see which one has better metrics!!

Seshagiri Rao Mallampati Seshagiri Rao Mallampati (1941 – ) Indian born American anesthesiologist. Eponym: Mallampati Score used to predict the ease of endotracheal intubation

Very sadly Seshagiri Mallampati, the anesthesiologist who devised the Mallampati score, die two weeks ago. He only retired in 2017, 49 years after he began clinical practice.

COULD EVERYONE PLEASE STOP USING RANDOM EFFECTS META-ANALYSIS WHEN COMBINING 3 OR 4 TRIALS? AND COULD REVIEWERS STOP DEMANDING IT?

Yes, we mention that here.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40914655/. The post was really directed at the 99% of meta-analyses that use standard software and don't even include a statistician

Everyone fighing over TIbble versus DF >| vs %>% Me: googling what mean means

Me? I'm just happy to be here #rstats

Turner et al for the win!

Agree. Failure is still seen as a failure, rather than an alternate pathway to success.

One problem is that you need a safe, nurturing environment to be able to embrace situational awareness. It’s not good at the moment. Many are in survival mode, or don’t feel safe.

Your forearms must be MASSIVE!!!!

Absolutely nemesis effect! During training, I went through a phase where I wouldn’t touch them. Then I changed my mindset to do it unless there was a contraindication. It forced me to do it and get good at them.

People aren’t getting taught them anymore, which is also part of the problem.

That takes skill!!

I had an intensivist recount when they were putting in an IJ vascath and aspirated pleural fluid!

I’m the same, Stavros. Never had a ptx. SC CVCs are so much nicer to look after in ICU. It’s also quick in a trauma to get large bore access if there’s a collar and limb injuries.

There’s a struggle to find a clinician under the age of 40 who can do a SC CVC (with or wo U/S). It would approach 0.

I'm so excited to announce the first release of my newest #Rstats package, {adrftools}! This package facilitates estimation, visualization, and testing for the causal effect of a continuous (i.e., non-discrete) treatment.

Well someone’s a little flirty today!!!

I feel like that’s what we do already no?

Yeah, safe effective anaesthetics on a Mon, Tues, Wed and loose and cavalier anaesthetics on Thursdays & Fridays!

A while back, I wrote a thing. If you like experiments and causal inference, you should read it:
