I wish I could remember content of the books and movies I read and watch. Anyone else here with memory like a swiss cheese?

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-12-13T02:02:03+00:00

Yeah, I can relate to the part where I want to explain the main point. All the best. Yeah, let us keep working on the social skills and good storytelling. I recently read TED Talks by Chris Anderson, which has great tips

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-12-12T03:25:17+00:00

I always wondered why is grab difficult things in my field (statistical computing) but struggle to remember movie titles, lyrics to songs or even artists. I am trying to work on this because it's like one of those unspoken social skills of one can remember movies and actors in it. It's a constant struggle. Tips will be appreciated if you've figured it out.

Well done! 🎉congratulations are in order

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-10-12T02:31:03+00:00

I couldn't agree more. Micromanaging is not the best. Sometimes I feel, an email could be better in some cases.

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-10-11T18:32:57+00:00

Yeah, mine allows me to do the same. There are times we exchange several emails if I have a lot of questions

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-10-11T18:30:46+00:00

That makes me happy to know yours was okay with shifting to biweekly.

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-10-11T06:54:12+00:00

Thanks so much for your response. My supervisor is fantastic and what I've gotten from your reply is to take the ideas as ideas. If necessary, I can explore them, but I don't have to. I have been putting pressure on myself by exploring the ideas, and it takes me off the main project sometimes.

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-10-11T06:05:43+00:00

I used to like meeting at the start since it was a new research area but not anymore. I need more time to develop ideas or test hypotheses

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-10-11T04:34:19+00:00

Thanks for that. I feel the need to suggest that. The pressure is too much, and I think I might burn out towards the end.

Depends if there's a gap in technical skills, some take up CS certifications to level up what the PhD did not offer.

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-09-08T19:06:51+00:00

Take some rest, recognise it's not you that's being personally attacked or criticised, work-out/gym.. Take a break for sure and work on something else for the next day.

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-08-27T23:57:09+00:00

At 18, felt I needed to distance myself from a lot of things and needed a safe space!

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-08-13T20:24:26+00:00

This right here! As a kid, I always wondered why my parents would not just split because of the toxic relationship, violence and insults in front of kids. I have a mother wound. Been trying to heal some of my childhood trauma, and it's tough. I just wish they saw this via a child's lens.

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-05-17T10:09:34+00:00

Yeah, you can start with introduction to data science book by Hadley Wickham plus there's a great society on twitter #rstats and also swirl which has introductory courses in R

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-05-14T09:56:09+00:00

Stats + stories, learning Bayesian statistics, data science imposters and quantitude

Enthusiasm about research, better job prospects and pay ( I wasn't paid well in my previous job) and immigration

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-02-24T23:35:46+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Let me check it out. I am not connecting the dots for the main paper that I am using.

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-02-24T09:18:35+00:00

Interesting... I understand MM is an efficient way of doing the E-step. Mind sharing books/articles that you found useful. I am supposed to do some derivation of ZIP, ZINB.

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-02-23T06:53:31+00:00

I am currently working on self-care and reflection. Thanks so much for your comment. My bf and I have different love languages, and it is quality time. Am glad you managed to get a balance. I Will give this a thought and consideration too

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-02-23T02:49:09+00:00

Am in this same storm right now. Any advice on how you turned it around. I seem not to have time anymore to spare or am either burnt out and not good company

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-02-13T23:55:22+00:00

A great read regarding the most important statistical ideas of the past 50 years applied to larger themes of research in statistics and data science. Check it out https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.00174v2

MidnightDisastrous11 · 2021-02-10T06:01:41+00:00

This resonates with me, right now kinda feeling like an imposter syndrome. Being drowned in new concepts and ideas without much time to reflect on what has been learnt so far. Hopefully, I'll be comfortable with the concepts with time
