But finally, and maybe most pertinent to #HEI and research, he stressed the importance of playfulness in approaching a topic, and the opportunities to learn and develop through that process.

This is where different streams of inspiration for me meet:

... having someone tell a story about story telling brings in other aspects.

Conceptualising visualisation as a form of data compression was an interesting thought to me.

Also, he sees his work much more like photo journalism than print journalism: #DataViz is about perspective, zoom...

I really enjoyed the #DataViz talk by @infobeautiful.bsky.social at @rssedinburgh.bsky.social. Not because the content was new. His talks (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Zg-C8AAIGg) and books have made the point that the stories lie in contrasting relevant numbers in visually appealing ways.

But...

Busy week, I have not much posted from #RSS2025. This will follow in the next days.

For now, I enjoyed chatting with Robert Grant and am reading his co-authored book "Bayesian #MetaAnalysis" which he kindly gave me a copy of 🙇

I am always looking combinations of unusual and cross-cutting themes for teaching/ training, so I'll do a parallel read with #MixtureModels in this area: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-68651-4_7

A book leaning upright on a wooden bench or seat of sorts, sunshine broken up by shades (leaves?) above. In the background some green and flowers are vaguely visible. The top of a "Royal Statistical Society" conference name tag sticks out of it. The book's cover is largely black, sports the title "Bayesian Meta-Analysis - A practical introduction" by Robert Grant and Gian Luca Di Tanna. The lower half shows a picture with a beige background on top of which there are what looks like line or ink lines indicating a wild overlay of continuous distribution curves, close to symmetric but with a bit of positive skew. It is identified as a work in acrylic and coffee on card by Robert Grant

Difficulties deciding which #RapidFire session to attend later at #RSS2025. I feel I have had too much social media exposure to posts from @millerdl , session 10 with modelling seals, capercaillies, aphids... looks surprisingly attractive.

Will probably be session 9 on #RStats, though. #SooooConventional

Thank you to Mona Kanaan (UoYork, UK) for asking me to present in the panel

"From study to target populations: Addressing #ExternalValidity through the lens of Transportability and Generalisability"
(1:50pm, #MedicalStatistics)

I'll present on #MeasurementInvariance 😊
