Fantastic talk by @JAgterberger during the last session of #JSM2022 on his recent work that develops inference for entries of singular vectors. Very useful work, and beautifully presented, too! Looking forward to giving this a read | https://t.co/6sIBiuYAbW

Having a great time @SimonsInstitute workshop. Highlights included talks by @lihua_lei_stat, Ben Brown, and panel discussion with many luminaries. Also enjoyed meeting (in person) people from past #StatsPhD virtual events! | https://t.co/ku9FDsZp5b

I was very fortunate to spend a fantastic week at the Complex Networks School at Lake Como. The lectures were engaging, the organizing very smooth, and I had such a great time networking (ha!) with the next generation of network scientists!

Just spoke with possibly the most competent customer support tech @Magellan_Rx I've ever interacted with; it was a real breath of fresh air! My account was in some weird limbo, and they clearly knew their systems well, figured out what was going on, and fixed it! Very satisfied!

Did you know you can use PowerPoint Presenter View while screen sharing in Zoom so you can see your notes? Here is how to do this lifesaving technique: Share Screen -> Advanced -> Portion of Screen -> Presenter View -> Green box around slide #Zoom #PowerPoint #PhDChat

I was wondering how the @micovidalert system worked and had looked for a slightly more detailed explanation so very much enjoyed this write-up from @duosec. Definitely recommend downloading this, seems secure and most useful if many of us download it :
DO THIS NOW, MICHIGANDERS. If you have concerns, you can read this analysis from my team of the underlying protocols: https://t.co/18evdQNEsN. TL;DR: it's well designed and protects your privacy.
