Data reproducibility is fundamental to modern research and @JStatEd wants to make it as easy as possible 🔁
The recently published editorial by @askdrstats highlights the best ways to share data and code 💻

Excited about this new report from CNSTAT @theNASEM (which I contributed to!) offering a framework for managing disclosure risks in blended data. It poses thoughtful questions to guide decision-making. Check it out: nap.nationalacademies.org/ca…

📣A second edition of our Introduction to #DataScience is on its way, now split into two books.
After teaching the course this semester, we've made significant improvements. Current drafts are online:
📘Intro: rafalab.dfci.harvard.edu/dsb…
📙Advanced: rafalab.dfci.harvard.edu/dsb…

It was "an unlikely combo of data science and the history of #Holyoke, Mass."
In an Amherst statistics class, taught by Professor Nicholas Horton (@askdrstats), students unearthed the data—and the stories—behind the history of the city of Holyoke. bit.ly/49wm1i1

At #Cop28, @JohnKerry mentioned our study (science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… ) in @ScienceMagazine with @lucas_henneman, here is me showing "a bit of enthusiasm" @harvard_data @VBKerry @HarvardSalata end #coalpollution now!

🥳So there you have it! Statistics can't solve your causal inference problems, you need to know the data generating mechanism OR having timing (mostly) can!
Check out our paper:

And R package:
r-causal.github.io/quartets/
And let us know what you think!

Congratulations to Matteo Riondato (@teorionda), associate professor of computer science, who received a prestigious CAREER award from @NSF!
The award supports early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education.
ALT Matteo Riondato, associate professor of computer science, and his research group, the Amherst College Data Mammoths, pose outside the Science Center for a silly group photo, with most folks doing a peace sign as they smile.
