A helpful analogy for indirect costs:

When a coffee shop sets the price of a cup of coffee, they build in the cost of electricity, rent, etc.

Universities are *not allowed* to list these types of expenses as direct costs on a grant, even though they are very real costs of doing research.

In her seminar to Emory Biostats today, @kylieainslie.bsky.social gives us an example of how a single, old estimate can become the de facto truth. The 4-6 week incubation period of scabies? From the 1940s, no confidence interval reported, never replicated. Happens more often than you’d think!

In today's COPSS-NISS webinar on leadership in causal inference, @lizstuart.bsky.social emphasizes why inter-disciplinarity is so critical for statisticians. Filling in assumptions requires deep substantive knowledge from partners. Plus, you get to work with great people!

Tonight’s family activity was sorting legos by color.

10/10. So relaxing. Very satisfying. We were locked in.
