I'm teaching Statistical Rethinking again starting Jan 2026. This time with live lectures, divided into Beginner and Experienced sections. Will be a lot more work for me, but I hope much better for students. I will record lectures & all will be found at this link: github.com/rmcelreath/s...
ICYMI: Julia version 1.12 has been released! julialang.org/blog/2025/10... We want to thank all the contributors to this release and all the testers who helped find regressions and issues in the pre-releases. Without you, this release would not have been possible! 💜
DSA stands in absolute opposition to the proposed deal to pass Trump's billionaire budget. Healthcare is a right, not a bargaining chip.
The package now includes MTKParameters for optimization, improved initialization, dynamic optimization, and new polynomial solvers. It's a major boost for modeling and simulation. juliahub.com/blog/what-s-... #JuliaLang #SciML #ModelingToolkit #Engineering #NumericalMethods #ScientificComputing

If, say, Louis Farrakhan was brutally murdered, I hope we would all condemn the murder. But I am pretty sure Republicans wouldn’t be celebrating his life and legacy and insisting no one criticize anything he ever said or did.
LinearSolve.jl just got autotuning 🔥 The problem: picking linear solvers is hardware-dependent voodoo. Solution: automatic benchmarking that tells you EXACTLY what to use. Share the results to improve the system! Details: sciml.ai/news/2025/08/16/linearsolve_autotuning/ #julialang #sciml

The current administration has more successfully destroyed US science and the scientific enterprise than the hypothetical nuclear weapons program in Iran.
NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years. NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."
I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.
The return of Abrego-Garcia to face due process in the US, after Trump officials swore he would never ever return to the US, is a reminder that politics matters and pressure works. Don’t give up. Don’t let the fascists relax.

a strong statement from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on the detention of Mayor Baraka and mistreatment of members of Congress at an ICE facility, specifically noting that agents carrying out Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional orders should expect consequences jeffries.house.gov/2025/05/09/l...
A judge in Vermont has ordered Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk immediately released from ICE detention. Öztürk has been held in a notorious prison in Louisiana. She still faces the threat of deportation, apparently in retaliation for co-authoring a piece for her student newspaper about Gaza.
