And people even made stickers out of it! Ok, that’s not true. But if someone could pull off something like that, it would surely be Chelsea Parlett-Pelleriti.Indeed, Chelsea’s research focuses on using statistics and machine learning on behavioral data, but her more general goal is to empower people to be able to do their own statistical analyses, through consulting, education, and, as you may have seen, stats memes on Twitter.A full-time teacher, researcher and statistical consultant, Chelsea earned an M...

They could talk for hours and that would make for at least 10 fantastic episodes. Frank Harrell is one of those guests. To me, our conversation was both fascinating — thanks to Frank’s expertise and the width and depth of topics we touched on — and frustrating — I still had a gazillion questions for him!But rest assured, we talked about intent to treat and randomization, proportional odds, clinical trial design, bio stats and covid19, and even which mistakes...

Shep is struggling still in the wake of Raul's death, but no one is getting more flack for it than Riley. Benton eats a slice of humble pie when a patient he discharges without examining bounces back with a ruptured appendix, for which both Hicks and Jeanie soundly put him in his place.
Meanwhile Susan is going through the ringer with Chloe, while Weaver tries to 'help' with her patients. Mark confesses a deep secret to Doug, though he may...

Today we had the chance to sit down with a friend of the show & community partner Raul Rodea, founder of Fundthemental. Well known and respected in the Aurora art community, we have been fans of his work for a few years before meeting this talented young man. Hailing from West Aurora, Raul has made a name for himself in being involved in many shows and projects. In our interview we spoke about faith, creativity, styles and mediums. Next week is a big week for Raul. We...

Elsewhere in the ER, Benton discovers that Ross accidentally misdiagnosed a young man several months' previously, which may lead to the patient losing a leg. Despite warnings from Greene and legal, Benton informs the boy's grandfather.
Shep is still reeling from the loss of Raul, which can be felt by all in the ER. Lewis...
