What a lovely full-circle moment! It’s wonderful how those early sparks of curiosity can lead us exactly where we’re meant to be.

Amazing! Thanks for all the effort you're putting into this and for making it freely available.

Random find (searched something else and stumbled on it) today: a blog on life as a biostatistician. Didn't know much about the field before, but now I'm down a rabbit hole reading about it. Anyone here work in #biostats?
