Just got a round of applause from my students after giving their statistics lecture. Not sure how to react but I’m pretty sure that’s a career high…

Two figures discussing statistics research. This flyer states: Untold Stories in Statistics Education Research: Contemplation to Publication and Beyond

11 September 2025; 15:00 UTC (see below for localized date/time)

Webinar duration: 90 minutes

Presenter(s): Elinor Jones (Chair), Larry Lesser, Mine Dogucu and Florian Berens

Many research endeavours have a backstory which is more complex, nonlinear, messy, and instructive than the final article suggests. This webinar brings together authors of diverse statistics education studies to share how their research unfolded over time, including unanticipated obstacles, conflicting reviewer feedback, and evolving perspectives. Expect honesty, practical wisdom, and a deeper appreciation for the start-to-finish journey of ‘doing research’ in statistics education.

13 hours, many amazing talks, & not enough caffeine later, and the @rosenetwork.bsky.social 2025 econference has come to an end. A huge thanks to all speakers, session chairs, and most importantly Andrew, for putting on an amazing day.

Very proud to be a RoSE Deputy Director right now #RoSE2025Conf

Very constructive session on using AI in statistics teaching at #RoSE2025Conf : when we focus on teaching students what questions to ask, more than how to calculate specific measures by hand, AI can play a useful role. but there are ethical considerations, energy and water use of LLMs to consider.

Love Hickory’s. Went for the 1st time last year a few days before Jacks heart surgery- mentioned it to our sever and the team made him a care package along with a good luck card. The manager remembered us last night and gave jack his own chip cup to take home ❤️

And the GF onion rings are amazing!

A brown food board. It has a doughnut with yellow icing and sprinkles on it. In icing sugar are the words ‘Hickory’s smokehouse. Happy Birthday!’

Thank you @ukcots.bsky.social for putting on such a great conference earlier this week in Glasgow. There were many inspiring ideas that I want to think about incorporating into my own statistics teaching.

Next step, get started on making quarto books/sites and hosting them on GitHub…

Great workshop by @bartlettje.bsky.social this morning, which introduced delegates to using Quarto in R and pushing projects to GitHub repositories. Looking forward to getting started and (hopefully) showing off my own work in a few months’ time!
