Back in 2021 I spent a few months of a predoc RAship refactoring stata code into R code. It would be trivial to do this now with current ai tools but doing it with stackoverflow was a formative learning experience.

Moving the body also moves the feelings. Definitely my experience

Applying machine learning to identify unrecognized COVID-19 deaths recorded as other causes of death in the United States A machine learning approach suggests that COVID-19 deaths were undercounted unevenly across sociodemographic groups in 2020–2021.
