There was a spectacular session today at #JSM2024 with talks by 3 philosophers discussed by 3 statisticians. Great to hear about the philosophy of randomization, evidence disclosure, "stochastic, deterministic, erratic & enigmatic" causal models. Bravo Peng Ding Xiao-Li Meng!

I had the privilege to discuss the role of statistics in the era of AI in a star-studded panel👇🏽. I learned so much from my fellow panelists. Time of change, trepidation and exciting progress in our field. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 𝕋ia𝕟 ℤ𝕙e𝕟𝕘 hongtuzhu1 for your efforts in organizing and collating.

A chair finishing one year, catching up with a chair who just finished two terms. We get the pain and the joy!

Two humans I admire profoundly: Lauren J Beesley who completely transformed my EHR research agenda with her pioneering work as a post doc, now flourishing in Los Alamos National Laboratory. Emily Roberts, one of my finest co-authors, shining at University of Iowa. So happy to see them!

Finished my first week as faculty at Yale School of Public Health. Transitioning to blue and white from maize and blue took some effort: literally, emotionally, metaphorically and stylistically!

Three women PIs of a dream study: MI-CARES, united in our commitment to preventing cancer in the State of Michigan and beyond. Our work continues even as I move to Yale School of Public Health. So fortunate to have Dana Dolinoy Cipolla and Leigh Pearce as my friends and co-creators in public health.

I usually do not care about material things, but my new shoreline home in Connecticut is spritually aligned with me. It has the vibe of a Santiniketan home, with a garden full of sculptures that reiterate the artistic fluency of human existence. Serenity inside and out. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

It is a privilege to be able to run as President of a society that I deeply care about and one that has been an integral and critical part of my professional journey: ENAR . If you have received a ballot and my vision resonates with you, please consider voting for me 🙏!

This series of Stats-under-Pressue case studies really showcases the range of areas statisticians can contribute.

Change is good. It makes you feel alive again. The new faculty orientation held by the Provost's team Yale University was simply superb. What a fabulous collection of people around the room. My induction was complete at the evening BBQ where I got to meet the Yale mascot handsome Dan.😀😀

While unpacking my belongings, rediscovered and re-admired this priceless photo of my father with the legendary Satyajit Ray on the sets of Shakha Proshakha. I feel blessed to be raised in a family immersed in the arts though I myself pursued science, a cherished contradiction.

Thanks to Yale news for this article on the endowed professorship appointment ! Yale School of Public Health news.yale.edu/2024/09/04/bhr…

I am completely blown away by the beauty of coastal Connecticut. I never pictured Connecticut shoreline to be this pretty. -Thimble islands, Branford.

It is very difficult for me as an immigrant woman to hear this Presidential debate. The words spoken violate, assault what we have fought for all our life: Dignity. As a hardworking naturalized citizen of the US, I will vote in November for my rights and for my dignity.

Forming new friendships with new colleagues at Yale, as we "struggle" with the sea breeze. This is right in my nbhd in Branford, a daily walk that I have become so fond of. Feeling grateful for the vastness of nature and the kindness of people. PC: The brilliant Fan Li.
