Last day at #SPAconf2023 . Thank you to everyone who helped carry the pram up and downstairs, holding doors, bringing me coffee (🩷) while I was breastfeeding, for all the offers of help, and for all the words of encouragement. What an adventure, what a great community!

As a statistician, it is extremely frustrating to me to see an account called “World of Statistics” with over 1.5M followers spreading this pseudoscientific garbage. Statistics requires us to think critically about our data. This is *not* statistics.

Der #AtomBrexitThread: warum mich @GoeringEckardt & Co an die Brexiteers erinnern. Im @AnneWillTalk hat etliche Falschaussagen über AKW emittiert- in der Sendung blieben diese unwidersprochen. Auf Twitter kam Widerspruch. Nun macht KGE, was Politiker häufig machen: 1/20
Noch immer glauben einige, Atomkraft sei DIE Lösung für die Herausforderungen unserer Energieversorgung. Ich erlebe das im Bundestag, in den Medien, aber auch in Zuschriften. Ein 🧵 darüber, warum Atomkraft Geschichte ist und das Zeitalter der Erneuerbaren begonnen hat.
