This might be the most repugnantly unprofessional thing I have seen a current or former academic post on twitter

A bit delayed, but I'm delighted to say that in October I passed my PhD viva! A massive thank you to the amazing Val Brunton, all the Frame/Brunton lab, my PhD pals, examiners and importantly all the incredible ILC patient advocates I've had the opportunity to meet along the way!

Forgive me, for I am about to Bayes. Lesson: Don't trust intuition, for even simple prior+likelihood scenarios defy it. Four examples below, each producing radically different posteriors. Can you guess what each does? Revealed in next tweet >>
I've been so disciplined for so long avoiding pitching in with takes on Twitter. Now today there's chat about whether PhDs should have LinkedIn AND Dawkins has started talking about cricket??? God himself could not have conceived stronger temptation for me

😊 50 participants, 7 finalists, 3 amazing solutions! 🎉
Yesterday we celebrated the award ceremony of our #ModellingCompetition (lnkd.in/ebHgJS6z)
Students from both @EdinburghUni and @HeriotWattUni tackled a problem provided by @EDI_Airport!

📢 Exciting News! I am #opentowork! 🎉🔎I am actively seeking a full-time data-focused position in industry. I am open to joining companies of all sizes, from startups to large corporations, that offer exciting data challenges to solve...🧵
when the uni insists on holding workshops on a a bank holiday, the staff are all busy with their families and lives, and there's no risk of a single student showing up

this is why we can't have nice things
New CRAN package lenght with initial version 0.1.0 #rstats cran.r-project.org/package=l…
While we intended it as a bit of light April 1st fun, me and @BayesianBella have been really moved by the enthusiasm with which people greeted our `lenght` package. Turns out lots of people are as bad at spelling as we are! Special shout-out to the fab open-source contributions
Jacob Bradley retweeted
🚨Error in lenght(x): could not find function lenght. Sounds familiar? @JRJB_C and I thought to ourselves… there has to be a better way! 💡And now there is! You can now install our R package 𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙝𝙩 directly from CRAN!

New CRAN package lenght with initial version 0.1.0 #rstats cran.r-project.org/package=l…
This feels like a great day to reveal some of the work myself and @BayesianBella have been up to behind the scenes. We’re excited to contribute to R’s open-source ecosystem, and really think our package `lenght` can ease common pain points in research software development. 🧵👇
R workflows have been impeded for years now by the difficulty of typing the function `length()` correctly (see my blog post, "The three letters – and no more – at the heart of Python’s success: 'l', 'e', and 'n'" Our package addresses this via a smoothly integrated alias system

Install `lenght` from CRAN with `install.packages(“lenght”)`, or get the dev version from GitHub (which has already received its first OS contribution 😲), and try it out! As ever, would love any feedback
