Hi Twitter friends. I am on some other social media with the same username. Email is alittlestats at gmail if you need to directly contact me.

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video. Well, I have good news.

R v Sally Clark (1999) shows how appalling miscarriages of justice occur when an expert witness makes serious statistical errors. Dr Roy Meadow calculated the odds of 2 infant SIDs deaths occurring in the same family as 1:73000000. Clark was wrongly convicted of murdering.. 1/5

What I will mourn the most from Twitter is how I was able to, over time, create a diverse but curated timeline filled with a combo of math, statistics, teaching, dataviz, math art, NYC news, social justice, and related posts. It’s going to be hard to recreate somewhere else.

Another wonderful program from the @SimonsFdn: A full, four-year scholarship to @stonybrooku for outstanding incoming students with "a personal commitment to diversity and inclusion in the STEM fields". https://t.co/6RG28STrCE #math #STEM

Twitter right now is like most schools. Absolutely tone deaf management but somehow the talents of the limited number of staff doing an amazing job keeping everything functioning anyway.

In my dream world, I imagine getting over to Mastodon and being like, "Stats kindred spirits, reveal yourselves!" P.S. Applied for @alittlestats@mathstodon.xyz 🤞

Aside: wonders if Mastodon the band is seeing uptick in internet traffic, downloads, as a result of all this.

Weekend project = Mastodon sign up, I guess. Am I the last to migrate over? Where are all the math and stats Twitter people landing? Any recommendations for being able to preserve as many follows and followers as possible?

Dividing a circle into 7 equal area slices 🍕 Equality in Maths is just beauuutiful 💗

Hey can I be grumpy for a second? Ppl are always claiming that phi is the "most irrational" number (e.g., https://t.co/KlK0TRwPwP, https://t.co/qHKqEj8UNE, https://t.co/amqHgnYIut). This is bs. 1/

A little piece I wrote for today’s i newspaper about why - I think - you don’t see more girls doing maths. In short: it’s death by a thousand cuts. https://t.co/z0UwXvKkOD

Another thing I said that didn’t make into the article is that teachers need communities of professional support so they can share resources and learn from each other. #mtbos #edchat https://t.co/VMDiZ0bKyX
