Looking for one graduate student with a strong background in statistical machine learning at University of Maryland, CP to work with me on using ensemble learning to predict kidney function outcomes from renal histopathology data. Email jrub@umd.edu if interested!

Max the Cockapoo sits on a grey carpet and smiles.

Tomorrow is my dog's 6th birthday. I've had him four of those six years, and every day Max is still the cutest dog I've ever seen. I am also getting his teeth cleaned, which will cost me a lot of money, but he's worth it. And he loves you too.

Two bunnies, one white with brown markings and one light brown, rest closely together on a rug on lush green grass. A tree and cloudy sky are in the background.

Variations in Creatinine Generation Among Patients With Glomerular Disease: Evidence From the NEPTUNE and CureGN Studies Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assumes that creatinine generation (crG) is relatively stable. This study identified factors associated…

🚨New paper alert🚨 from the zeelab.org. @dbei-upenn.bsky.social PhD biostats candidate Shalini Ramachandra found high variability in creatinine generation among GN pts over time, yet we usually assume it's stable to calculate sCr-based eGFR 😩. Check it out 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

✨Some news!✨ I have decided to accept a new faculty position at George Mason University, starting this August! I'm looking forward to moving to the Washington D.C. area and continuing my research at GMU.

I greatly valued my time as faculty in @uofscstatistics.bsky.social! Forever to thee!

A close-up of a colorful insect clinging to the rough bark of a tree, showing a bright pattern of yellow and reddish-brown along its body with green legs and large, dark-tipped claws.

This is a really great grasshopper I found in Amazonas in Brazil. iNat experts are suggesting something in the genus Eurostacris, but I'm clueless and that doesn't seem to be a common genus of insect.
