One good thing about BlueSky is that relatives have not found their way here.

Instead of changing the name from Turkey to Türkiye, it should have been Purrkiye. A missed opportunity in marketing all the cute cats in the country.

Neither of my grandmothers could read or write. Economic hardship forced my mother out of high school & my father out of middle school. To now join the Harvard faculty is a surreal turn of events for me. I am forever grateful for my family’s hard work and sacrifices. I hope my mom is watching this.

Few statisticians know that Frank Yates, pioneer of experimental design, is responsible for the annoying practice of indicating 3 tiers of statistical significance by stars (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001). He soon regretted it and “vehemently opposed its unthinking use”. And here we are.

I came to the States in Aug 2005 for my bachelor’s. One of my first classes was a stats class. The prof asked us to ask our classmates how many states they visited & make a visualization of the distribution. Everyone was shocked to hear I’d only been to MA. “I just arrived last week” I kept saying.

Look at the #stats class that is required for a psych degree in Sims 4 😬

New course prep is officially underway for Fall! 🍁 I am incredibly excited to be teaching STAT 100: Introduction to Statistics and Data Science this coming Fall 2026 at Harvard. Teaching intro courses are always a joyful challenge.

Four years after Dobbs, the quiet shutdown of independent abortion clinics has become a nationwide crisis—leaving 14 states with zero clinics and countless communities without any nearby, in-person reproductive care.

A Single Abortion Clinic Closing Rarely Makes Headlines. What Happens When None Are Left?

Picture a map of the United States. It’s 2022, and in southern states like Texas and Tennessee, there are clusters of black dots that represent independent clinic closures. These are abortion care bla...

Instead of trying to get Python folks to Quarto, Positron should invest in trying to get math/LaTeX folks to Quarto. PLEASE.

I receive way more emails than I can reply to in a meaningful way. I finally got around to creating my FAQ page. www.minedogucu.com/faq Thank you @hormiga.bsky.social for the inspiration.

It's 8:19 pm and 90°F/32°C. I hate it.

I am sad to be missing the #ISBA World Meeting in Nagoya, especially after having had great time in the last two meetings in Montreal and Venice. To cure my sadness I am eating Japanese food every day.

Greetings from Cambridge, MA where I have a new home, a new job, an office with a (real) window, and many supportive people to help me get started. Hashtag blessed.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

How do you and your partner split up household duties? In different-sex couples where both parents work full time, moms and dads tend to have very different views of how parenting tasks and household chores are divided: 🧵
