And here's the second in the series, significantly generalizing the HMC-PDMP connection suggested by the first: The third is to be arXived soon and extends the connection to the "sticky" algorithms for posterior inference under spike-and-slab priors.

Congrats to Fan and other Blackwell-Rosenbluth awardees for well-deserved recognition. And thank you @j_ISBA and the award committee for making this award possible. It's so important for the @ISBA_events community to continue recognizing contributions of our junior researchers!
Very thrilled, and humbled. Thank you so much for this recognition!

US election might be occupying much of everyone's mind nowadays, but let's not forget about other important elections. Like the @ISBA_events one to elect new board members for your own communities! (Fwiw, yours truly is running for "Bayesian Computation Secretary.")

Congrats to @rohan_khera, his team at Yale, and all the @OHDSI collaborators for delivering this landmark evidence on diabetes drugs. It's been a huge honor to be involved in the LEGEND initiative and working with y'all.
The LEGEND-T2DM team studied the effectiveness of several types of diabetes medications to reduce cardiovascular events across nearly 1.5 million patients. Check out the @JACCJournals study ⬇️ #JoinTheJourney @suchard_group

Looking forward to sharing my latest work at @j_ISBA's Blackwell-Rosenbluth awardee session at #jsm2024. Our *bouncy* HMC unifies HMC and PDMP, two cutting-edge paradigms in Bayesian computation: Big thanks to @Bea_Franzo & @FannyBu214 for organizing!

My first foray into polygenic risk score w/ awesome statsgen colleagues @nilanjan10c & @Jin_10ustc: Turns out the commonly-used approx likelihood can give rise to an improper posterior! (We present a fix.) It won @YuzhengDun an ASA student paper award 🎉

Glad to see my academic sister @FannyBu214 from Duke Stats/UCLA Biostats already emerging as an important figure. She must have caught the same save-the-world-with-biostats bug from @suchard_group 🙃
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Fan Bu, one of the three new members of our social media committee!
