Postdoc opening to work on @OHDSI pharmaco-epi projects with myself and others at Johns Hopkins Center for Drug Safety and Effectiveness: https://t.co/YXm0QsRpY8 If interested, email or catch me at the OHDSI symposium this week!

Celebrating Yuzheng Dun's successful defense @jhubiostat (co-advised by @nilanjan10c and me) at the famed Mama Chang near DC. Joy to work with you and see you come out with an impressive PhD thesis, Yuzheng! Looking forward to seeing what you accomplish next with @wu_biostat 😉

And here's the second in the series, significantly generalizing the HMC-PDMP connection suggested by the first: https://t.co/iF7ZYE33vZ 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! https://t.co/VfcJThZrs4 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.")

Come join @jhubiostat! Learn about our open positions on our website. Review of applications will begin November 1: https://t.co/MpiyYuMbb4

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: https://t.co/5V4EJh2TES 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: https://t.co/K6NISTnuqX. 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: https://t.co/iF7ZYE2vGr. Big thanks to @Bea_Franzo & @FannyBu214 for organizing!

My first foray into polygenic risk score w/ awesome statsgen colleagues @nilanjan10c & @Jin_10ustc: https://t.co/khTYrp2Eza. 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 🎉

Another job posting! This time for finance staff folks. @jhubiostat is looking for a Sr. Grants and Contracts Analyst to provide support on pre-award and post-award functions. Join us! https://t.co/ShyFXuiSxa

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 😉

Join us at @warwickstats! We are advertising for 5 Assistant Professors (3 in Statistics; 2 in Computational Statistics or Machine Learning) and one Associate Professor. Details at

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 🙃

In @BMJMedicine, we report the largest federated pharmacoepi study of 2nd line diabetes drugs in CV disease Multinational - with 4.8 million ppl - but w/o pt data sharing across sites! A new way to epi - details in 🧵 w @suchard_group #LEGEND Team https://t.co/LTbmBmxL3W

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 ( https://t.co/t9905K2bzp) at @jhubiostat. Thank you for sharing your research/wisdom with us, Marina!

It's not too late to apply for @jhubiostat's open positions: 1 (or more) tenure-track open rank, and an education focused non-tenure track position. Spread the word and apply to join our collegial, mission oriented, and intellectually stimulating environment! Links below.
