Three R's in my last name, but it's not enough #rstats for me! Sr Analytics Manager at Capital One Math/Stats at UNC CH https://mastodon.social/@emilyriederer
📢New #rstats blog post! 📢 (^New blog, for that matter) If you're interested in how RMarkdowns evolve from analytical scratchpads to reproducible data products (projects & packages), pls give a read and let me know what you think! emilyriederer.netlify.com/post/rmarkdown…
I am thinking of making my DiD materials that I used for teaching in the last 5 years available. I am hoping these would find begineers in need of a step-by-step opinionated walkthrough of several developments Let’s see if I find the energy to do this! #EconTwitter…
You know what would make the market chaos materially worse? Bank runs! Thanks to the OCC regulating bank reserves and FDIC insuring accounts, we aren’t rushing to the nearest branch and creating an even worse credit crunch #ThankYouCivilService
You know how some of your clocks will just *know* how to adjust to the #DST time change overnight (and not just our phones talking to cell towers)? They get that from govt radio. Thank you, @NIST, for maintaining the time! nist.gov/pml/time-and-f… #ThankYouCivilService

Just got off flight. Thanks to NHTSA for safe roads to airport, TSA and FAA for safe passage, NTSB for past crash investigations and current protocols, NOAA/NWS for forecasts that made route planning possible, etc etc #ThankYouCivilService

NEW from me: Russ Vought was on the verge of breaking the mortgage market by shutting down a core function provided by CFPB. But he blinked, and in so doing revealed that regulation is actually pretty important. (link below)
Harvard's Library Innovation Lab just released all 311,000 datasets from data .gov, totalling 16 TB.🫡🫡 This is a complete archive of federal public datasets harvested during 2024-2025, updated daily.
Supervision is CFPB’s first line of defense against scammers, predatory banks, and tech companies stealing your financial data. The Trump Administration is giving the green light to fraudsters.
New acting CFPB director Russell Vought sends a directive to Bureau staff telling them to "cease all supervision and examination activity" and "cease all stakeholder engagement," per a source familiar
16TB collection of federal public datasets linked by data.gov, including over 311,000 datasets harvested during 2024 and 2025, are now part of a new data vault project seeking to preserve vital research data. lil.law.harvard.edu/blog/2025/02/0… #openscience #datapreservation
Rohit Chopra spent every day at CFPB making sure we could have a strong financial system that was also safe for consumers. He cracked down on junk fees and false medical debt reports, protected personal financial data, and investigated dangerous de-banking practices.
It's been an honor serving as your @CFPB Director. Every day, Americans from across the country shared their ideas and experiences with us. You helped us hold powerful companies & their executives accountable for breaking the law, and you made our work better. Thank you. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

fyi if you're uploading to community archive but want to be careful with DMs (even though they promise to ignore them, still best practice IMO) 1. download zip 2. extract, delete data/direct* 3. recompress, upload works fine!
Don't miss out on this guide on how to run surveys: on creating your own identifying variation: more than 80 pages and an Appendix with examples including social desirability, vignettes, information treatments and more.
Microsoft just released a tool that lets you convert Office files to Markdown. Never thought I'd see the day. Google also added Markdown export to Google Docs a few months ago.
Never been easier to join us on the other side with this starter pack: bit.ly/48WsvqE
is anyone still here? or did we migrate to blue sky as a flock
Seeing the huge momentum on the Blue site is exciting. Many of you have started following me there. I’m gratified for that. If you haven’t prepared to make the switch yet, please consider doing so. You’ll find a much friendlier, cleaner, unobtrusive environment over there.
Hey @quarto_pub - wrote a short new blog post about using @Netlify to gate content on some projects I built with you. Would love if you were on 🦋sky so I could tag you as I share it there..
If you vote today thank the election workers. Often your interaction will be with a volunteer at a polling place who may be paid a pittance. Their service means we can have a democracy
Hey @DataPolars - I was going to flutter (?) about how much I like you over on 🦋sky where the data folks are gaining some real momentum. Would be more fun if you were on there too!
🧵Next week, you will see people using something called Benford's Law to try to prove election fraud. ⛔️These people are wrong⛔️ I am a scientist who has published on Benford's Law. Let me tell you what it is and why what they are doing is mathematically incorrect. 1/
