Postdoc opening to work on @OHDSI pharmaco-epi projects with myself and others at Johns Hopkins Center for Drug Safety and Effectiveness: . If interested, email or catch me at the OHDSI symposium this week!

And here's the second in the series, significantly generalizing the HMC-PDMP connection suggested by the first: The third is to be arXived soon and extends the connection to the "sticky" algorithms for posterior inference under spike-and-slab priors.

Our paparazzi article on the secret kinship between HMC and PDMP is now officially out! This is the first in a series of work showing PDMP to be essentially a version of (bouncy) HMC, shedding light on their relative strengths and limitations.

Congrats to Fan and other Blackwell-Rosenbluth awardees for well-deserved recognition. And thank you @j_ISBA and the award committee for making this award possible. It's so important for the @ISBA_events community to continue recognizing contributions of our junior researchers!.

US election might be occupying much of everyone's mind nowadays, but let's not forget about other important elections. Like the @ISBA_events one to elect new board members for your own communities! . (Fwiw, yours truly is running for "Bayesian Computation Secretary.")

RT @jhubiostat: Come join @jhubiostat! Learn about our open positions on our website. Review of applications will begin November 1: https:/….

Congrats to @rohan_khera, his team at Yale, and all the @OHDSI collaborators for delivering this landmark evidence on diabetes drugs. It's been a huge honor to be involved in the LEGEND initiative and working with y'all.

Very exciting to have our paper featured in the National Eye Institute's latest challenge, as a pioneering work bringing the power of @OHDSI to ophthalmology: Congrats @ CindyCai and the team; let's continue our Heraculian efforts to save more Sisyphuses

Announcing @jhubiostat reception Mon, Aug 5th at #JSM2024! 🥂🎉 8 - 10pm @ Skybox Deck of Garden Tavern: The venue is part of the @cartsidepdx food cart pod, so you can also grab a pre-reception dinner from food carts for an iconic Portland experience!.

Looking forward to sharing my latest work at @j_ISBA's Blackwell-Rosenbluth awardee session at #jsm2024. Our *bouncy* HMC unifies HMC and PDMP, two cutting-edge paradigms in Bayesian computation: Big thanks to @Bea_Franzo & .@FannyBu214 for organizing!

My first foray into polygenic risk score w/ awesome statsgen colleagues @nilanjan10c & @Jin_10ustc: Turns out the commonly-used approx likelihood can give rise to an improper posterior! (We present a fix.) It won @YuzhengDun an ASA student paper award 🎉.

RT @Lizstuartdc: Another job posting! This time for finance staff folks. @jhubiostat is looking for a Sr. Grants and Contracts Analyst to….

RT @karlrohe: Just got an email from someone who already got a job offer with an expiring timeline. I think this is too bad. my response….

Congrats @FannyBu214 & Hats off for your leading role in OHDSI's collaboration with FDA's CBER Biologics Effectiveness and Safety (BEST) System 😉.

RT @bayesian_stats: Join us at @warwickstats! We are advertising for 5 Assistant Professors (3 in Statistics; 2 in Computational Statistics….

Glad to see my academic sister @FannyBu214 from Duke Stats/UCLA Biostats already emerging as an important figure. She must have caught the same save-the-world-with-biostats bug from @suchard_group 🙃.

RT @rohan_khera: In @BMJMedicine, we report the largest federated pharmacoepi study of 2nd line diabetes drugs in CV disease. Multinational….

Such a pleasure to host @MarinaVannucci3, Noah Harding Prof of Statistics at Rice Univ, over the past two days as a seminar speaker and special guest to the Bayes-Spatial group ( at @jhubiostat. Thank you for sharing your research/wisdom with us, Marina!

RT @Lizstuartdc: It's not too late to apply for @jhubiostat's open positions: 1 (or more) tenure-track open rank, and an education focused….

Nice, concise introduction to the conjugate gradient method and its application to Bayesian computation by .
