Living (and especially being a parent) in Seattle right now feels like we are caught in the middle of a big psych experiment and I can’t remember having signed the informed consent form??!? 🦠 🦠 🦠 #CoronaVirusSeattle #COVID19seattle
I can think of a whole bunch of federal officials who have not undergone human subjects training, in fact it appears they have undergone no training whatsoever

****Big news for fans of ISLRv2!!**** #RStats #ISLR #ISL

A TORCH VERSION OF THE DEEP LEARNING LAB (CHAPTER 10) IS NOW AVAILABLE!!! 🎆🤩💯🍾🥳🎉🪅

The original deep learning lab made use of keras, which requires a python installation, and is very finicky.

1/3 Image
@dfalbel and @zkajdan translated the Chapter 10 lab into torch, a deep learning library from @rstudio that **doesn't require a python installation**.

It's available here: statlearning.com/resources-seco…

2/3
This new torch lab will make it easier for instructors to teach deep learning, without needing to troubleshoot a classroom full of keras installation errors. 👩‍🏫💻😭

Thanks to @dfalbel and @zkajdan for this valuable contribution!!! 🙏🙏🙏

My daughter and I have been sitting on the tarmac at SeaTac for 6 hours waiting for our flight to take off.

@alaskaair what is going on?! 6 hours is way too long to have a 7yo sitting on a plane, especially without snacks, water, or updates about flight status
Also, thankful for our n95s, I can’t see a covered nose anywhere
Luckily I brought emergency provisions. This wasn’t special for the flight, I literally never leave the house without an entire produce aisle in my bag, otherwise I get too hangry

Finally --- the 2nd edition of ISLR is out!!!!🥳🎉🪅🍾

Well, sort of. 🙄It's "published", but due to shortages in the global paper supply, hard copies won't be available for a bit longer 😢😭🤦‍♀️

You can pre-order a hard copy from Springer/Amazon, & **download the pdf today**! 1/ Image
Purchase from Springer: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Purchase from Amazon: amazon.com/Introduction-S…

Download the pdf today: statlearning.com
2/
The 2nd edition has been in the works for literally 4 years, which -- as a point of reference -- is more than 5x longer than it takes to make a human baby.

It has 50% more material than the original edition, including three all-new chapters! 3/ Image

A lot of people have reached out to check in on me after this article came out --- in which I use a very colorful analogy to describe the current situation that many mothers in academia face during the pandemic 1/ nytimes.com/2021/04/13/hea…
If you reached out, then thank you for the concern. I have been very fortunate: since late Spring 2020, I have had the good fortunate of consistent high-quality childcare for my 3 small children. (Not to mention that I'm senior faculty w/ job security.) 2/
But many mommas haven't had access to high-quality childcare: either due to $$ considerations, or because their family could not tolerate the additional COVID risk associated with childcare, or for a host of other reasons. 3/

I am loving these recent threads from @j_l_godwin on ADHD + academia. Thank you for sharing your experiences, Jessica --- I have learned a lot, and this new knowledge will help me be a better teacher/mentor for students in the future.
