Preparing my tenure application & CV in just the right format. This morning I wake up, and my 20-page CV is missing...nowhere to be found on my computer. I check my trash bin...nothing.

I have a project for this AI for science postdoc application: schmidtfellows.utoronto.ca To work on videos of migrating fish (eg salmon), for classification, segmentation, uncertainty quantification. Don’t need to be AI expert, but demonstrate high potential. Reach out if interested.

I actually learned about simulation-based model assessment as a tool for any framework first. I’m surprised it’s not used more broadly in non-Bayesian settings.

Posterior predictive checking is for non-Bayesians too! statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2026/07/30/p...

I may be panicking about putting together my tenure packet but my cat has decided he needs the laptop more than I do…

Some questions have come up as to why we set early deadlines for workshops & abstracts. Here’s why: Visas! It can take time to apply for a visa, find funding to attend, etc. The more time we can give, the better.

Recordings of Foundational, Keynote, and Named Lectures; the short course on Bayesian Deep Learning; and memorial sessions for Herman van Dijk and Harry van Zanten from the 2026 ISBA World Meeting are now available! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... @isba-bayesian.bsky.social

Getting season tickets to the Toronto Tempo was 💯 the right choice 🏀⛹🏽‍♀️ Motivated to recruit a PhD student to work on Bayesian stat/AI methods for women’s sports, starting with basketball. You’d be supervised by me & folks at the Tanenbaum Institute for Science in Sport. Reach out if interested 👩🏽‍💻

Registration is now open! It includes: - opening reception on Jan 10th - access to main conference talks & posters, Jan 11-15th - all coffee breaks - conference banquet (Jan 14th in the evening). aw.iimas.unam.mx/isec2027regi...

Let’s go 🇨🇦! …it might be a long day at @isba-bayesian.bsky.social today 😅

Bayesian Workflow exists as a physical book! statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2026/06/27/b...

On my way to @isba-bayesian.bsky.social 🇯🇵 Excited for a week of great talks!

Went to StanCon 2 years ago & saw a presentation by @liza-semenova.bsky.social And now, here's our first paper together inspired by that talk, led by mine and Gwen Eadie's PhD student Rodrigo Herrera arxiv.org/abs/2606.22601

Scalable Bayesian Additive Models for Stellar Flare Detection via Amortized Gaussian Process Inference and Hidden Markov Models

Gaussian Processes (GPs) are a powerful tool for Bayesian time-series modeling, yet their cubic computational cost remains a severe barrier for application to long, high-cadence datasets in astronomy....

StanCon 2026: Early bird (and t-shirt) deadline in one week!

Hi all! Also, the 10th of June (AoE) is the early-bird deadline, and after that, the conference fee will increase! Also, only those who register before the 10th of June will be able to buy a StanCon ...

discourse.mc-stan.org

We've added dates to our workshops! Each day we'll have 7 workshops that cover a wide range of statistical ecology topics. See screenshots to start planning 🦜📈👩‍💻 For more information on each workshop, see statisticalecology.org/workshops/

Last chance to submit an abstract — today’s the deadline, May 29 (AoE). [Or early in the morning if you do the math correctly!] ISEC 2027 on track to be one of the biggest ISECs ever 🇲🇽🐆🦋

International Statistical Ecology Conference (ISEC)@isec-stats-ecol.bsky.social · 3mo ago

We received an incredible number of abstracts — ISEC 2027 is looking incredible! But, we still have space for poster submissions. For those who let the first deadline pass, don’t miss out again. Late abstract deadline: May 29, 2026 (AoE). statisticalecology.org ¡Los esperamos! 🇲🇽🐆

*Se habla español* - Conference registration fees are much lower for Latin America - Workshops will be accessible to both English & Spanish speakers - We’ll have partial scholarships for a number of student presenters
