Such an enjoyable @casualinfer.bsky.social pod with @emilyriederer.bsky.social!

They talked a lot about how to communicate analysis. I definitely fell into the trap of sharing my journey to the answer vs. crafting the thing to share that will resonate with the audience

Had a fantastic time talking with @lucystats.bsky.social and @epiellie.bsky.social about data science communication, causal work in academia vs industry, and more! (wherein I also soft commit to ~3 WIP blog posts 😬)

One of my all time favorite podcasts β€” downside is I get one fewer net new episodes

Had a dream where I was in the hospital with a roommate who would not shut up about causal inference and talked all my visitors' ears off about it. Turns out I fell asleep with a podcasts playing and reached @andrew.heiss.phd's episode on @lucystats.bsky.social and @epiellie.bsky.social's show.
