I am a once and future physicist currently masquerading as a statistician in order to expose the secrets of inference that statisticians have long kept from scientists. More seriously, I am developing freely available case studies focused on introducing the important but often overlooked principles of practical Bayesian inference with accompanying exercises in R and Python. Current case studies can be found at betanalpha.github.io/writing, with many more -- from regression to hierarchical modeling and meta-analysis -- in development.

Goals
100% complete
Suboptimal Cotangent Disintegrations
If this goal is reached then myself and Dan Simpson will record a podcast (or two) on the topic of "Things We Don't Know How To Do" which will feature our witty repartee on some of the most difficult and beguiling challenges in contemporary statistics, possibly including mixture models, principled priors and/or algorithmic fairness.
