Miscellaneous

• An experiment using generative AI in teaching data science in Fall 2023.

• A Checklist for Preparing Your Manuscript - based on years of editing statistics manuscripts.

• Here’s a reproducible notebook evaluating FiveThirtyEight’s forecasts for the 2020 US presidential election.

• I enjoy juggling. Here are some videos of me club passing with the Stanford Court Jugglers. I am to the far left in this video and this video and am in the front right in this video (if you look closely, you’ll notice that every pass I throw is to the person behind me).

• Here’s my solution to an incredible physics puzzle involving two bouncing balls, elastic collisions, and the digits of \(\pi\). I wrote this up in the summer of 2010, after hearing the problem from Caitlin Stanton and Tucker Hiatt. Section 1 states the problem. My favorite part is Section 6, which gives a simple explanation for the link between having constant kinetic energy and \(\pi\).

• Here’s an animation I made (using R!) demonstrating how noise canceling earphones work.
