Having a great time @SimonsInstitute workshop. Highlights included talks by @lihua_lei_stat, Ben Brown, and panel discussion with many luminaries. Also enjoyed meeting (in person) people from past #StatsPhD virtual events! |simons.berkeley.edu/workshop…

I was very fortunate to spend a fantastic week at the Complex Networks School at Lake Como. The lectures were engaging, the organizing very smooth, and I had such a great time networking (ha!) with the next generation of network scientists!

Just spoke with possibly the most competent customer support tech @Magellan_Rx I've ever interacted with; it was a real breath of fresh air! My account was in some weird limbo, and they clearly knew their systems well, figured out what was going on, and fixed it! Very satisfied!
