Oliver has chosen the coolest pull quote ever for me… I urge you all to pick up the phone if voxdev ever calls you because they know how to make you sound cool
“There’s just very little serious attempt to deal with noise. People do these power calculations that are mostly, to be honest, made up or kind of reverse engineered. And we wouldn’t accept that in other areas of our statistical practice.”
I missed this but VoxDev @olihanney.bsky.social interviewed CGDev fellow and my wonderful past phd student @mrao.bsky.social about her work on the relationship between evidence and policy! So exciting to see this work getting more of the attention it deserves :))))
