News story our APS fellowship.

A testament to the great people we work with (and the unwavering rigor of Bayesian approaches, impervious to hype) 😊 🙏

Hello everyone,

Tomorrow I’ll be giving a chalk talk on our new eLife:
“REPOP: bacterial population quantification from plate counts”

So… I was googling myself and made quite a discovery

🎧 There's an AI-generated podcast of my #TimeSeriesForecasting paper 🤔🤔

Not sure whether to feel flattered, creeped out, or alarmed.

That is the future I guess 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

No likelihood? No problem

The class of stochastic models we can simulate is A LOT larger than the ones we can write likelihoods.

What if we could learn the likelihood directly from simulation? See the 🧵👇

Physics-inspired inference often hinges on the ability to construct a likelihood, or the probability of observing a sequence of data given a model. These likelihoods can be directly maximized for para...

Happy #PiDay, everybody! 🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧

Today, we celebrate π with a fun (but dubious) way to calculate it:
1️⃣ Toss random points into a square.
2️⃣ Count how many land inside the inscribed circle.
3️⃣ Use the ratio to approximate π/4

Hello everyone 📣📣📣

This week, I'm attending the #BPS2025 Annual Meeting in Los Angeles.

Interestingly, all the works I'm co-authoring are scheduled at the same time: Tuesday, February 18, from 1:45 PM to 3:45 PM.

Often in social media, questions like "find the next number in the sequence" are posed as indicators of intelligence. This approach to demonstrate cognitive prowess is dubious (to say it mildly).
