ISCB 2026 is in Freiburg Germany. The JSM is in Boston :)

Not at a biostats conference! Come join us haha.

There's a slim possibility I can make it to Switzerland from Australia for this ISCB. I am hoping/planning to visit @laurewynants.bsky.social and could visit Utrecht if there was time...

I will have a 6 month old baby with me, but how hard can it be? 😜

A tough round with just 1/10 funded. Hoping you got some good news! 🌻

Yeah ok. The keyword Dementia will get you a long way there but I'll have a think.

If you include midlife in life course then yes we do a lot of stuff looking at midlife exposures and cognition in later life. And we have one 30y study of diabetics underway. Those datasets are pretty rare!

Everyone seems to have a different definition of what counts as life course! Maybe?

(Also... I am really interested in looking at Disruptive papers in the dementia literature...)

Working on a tiny human being! (Until February) 🍼

Otherwise just working my magic with large hospital datasets and doing some cool dementia population epi 😊

Welcome aboard, sir!

Mate I think at this point you just need to come out as a Sociologist of Scientific Knowledge. Come and join the SSK club!!

Man I've got to upgrade my stata 😅

Ah I see. Well, being a time-poor academic I would need to want that for myself more than I want to push out the next paper... That has always been the crux of the challenge for me.

I am a stata holdout.

Only one dataset in memory is v lame. But I like the way regressions are reported, margins is a showstopping command, and the syntax is so much more efficient.

I use R for weird things which are too hard in stata. But for my white-bread biostats stuff, I'm hooked...

Slurpy Pikachu backrub for you ✨

Soooo it's a targeted bribe then??

I am a data lady! 👋

This.... Is art.
