There are many ways to follow along my work, all of which are kept up to date at betanalpha.github.io/contact/.
Posting all of my silly figures over on the cielo azul under the same username.
If you need a distraction tomorrow then note that you can still register for my four hour hierarchal modeling course, betanalpha.github.io/courses/. All you need to do is make a donation to one of two charities doing important work in Gaza right now.
Linear regression diehards your time is now!
Get in line! Stay in line! Line dance! Do ALL the line shit!
Last chance to join us on Wednesday to learn about the intimate details of hierarchical modeling while also contributing to two important causes, betanalpha.github.io/courses/.

Damn, my upcoming hierarchical modeling short course next week, betanalpha.github.io/courses/, has raised over 2000 USD for World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders. There's still time to join and spread the word.
