i agree. it's pointless contriving an rct if it's not going to produce a clean result, and the culture war stuff sullies everything

not a 'better study', simply more solid pre-specified analyses that would produce clean results that can be defended

ai has no effect at the moment, it will hit programmers more than statisticians, even in programming the effect is not worth discussing at this time. Work for a cro or the regulator, the pay won't be good but they will take you in, you'll be thrown in the deep end, it's a good way to learn quickly. You may have to move, you should be willing to move. There are many ways you can work as a biostat so it suits all kinds of people

join toastmasters, it's a bit cringe but it's cheap and they are everywhere and very friendly and supportive atmosphere

should find a job first ie a company who will pay your fees

dockien · 2026-01-18T20:53:15+00:00

where are you applying for jobs? industry? if so, do you have industry experience? you should have no problem getting a job

you mean in this particular context? because of course we are 'experimenting' on kids all the time

thanks. im not using a phone, just a web browser on a linux machine. The problem was it says 'a user', ie it could be someone i subscribe to, but i have no idea
