Were there any starter packs especially good at finding other biostatisticians? I'm a bit new here. Joined long ago but I was mostly inactive until a few days ago

Would love to hear an apposing opinion, but all I want is for all the economist to post econ crap in one place. I don't need crossover with memes or whatever. Maybe would be nice if sociologist, biostatisticians, other academics also posted.

We statisticians use “natural log” scale to depict small next to large numbers.
We biostatisticians use “log10 scale” eg depicting HIV load.
Trick is to interpret results clearly for logarithmic scale graphs.

my spouse and I dressed up as a 95% confidence interval at a grad school party of biostatisticians, who didn't get it, and we STILL didn't blame anyone else for not getting it. misfiring is misfiring.

Why should you care about #DataMisclassification? Because it leads to inaccurate results. But whether or not there's already gold standard data available, biostatisticians can help ensure your research is valid. #PittHSRseminar

This is interesting. I’ve been a quantitative public health researcher for years and work with many biostatisticians, but never knew what the precise distinction was from statisticians.

Tell them to talk and listen to their biostatisticians and trust expert judgment on the subject above their own. If nothing else gets through, that message will do enormous good. It’s hard to teach doctors very much about stats other than humility in a 1 hour session…

Similarly, we learn from other fields like biostatisticians. Does everyone need to read this literature? Not really. As long as everyone adopts what we import from that field (e.g. equivalence testing) does anyone else need to read the original papers? That is just a waste of time.

The discussion by biostatisticians about poor stats understanding of investigators is directed outwards. We need a hard look in the mirror. We have been prioritizing abstract math over scientific collaboration for years, in graduate education and in our promotion structure 1/3

Epidemiologists and biostatisticians are allowed to disagree.
We have different needs, different skills, and work with different audiences. So we will inevitably prioritise different things.

Research is a shared activity to add to knowledge. Good faith queries are essential & statistics insight is particularly welcome. Persistent queries by biostatisticians Baggerly and Coombs saved patients at Duke from being assigned to chemo drugs based on a bogus algorithm that had no constant. /1
