I can't believe this is the first Binface content I've come across on bluesky - I've been on this for months on tiktok!
Count BinfaceI believe Clacton deserves an MP who will spend their time shining a light on everything the area has to offer. And why wait till I'm elected? I've been to visit one of the constituency's most stunning landmarks.

SSA AGM event: how and why Censuses are changing internationally and what the ABS is considering for 2031! We'll discuss how #Census content has evolved and the growing uses of admin data to provide a pathway to new ways of producing Census-like data Register online: statsoc.org.au/event-6757923
Statistical Society of Australia - 2026 SSA Annual General Meeting and Census Futures Panelstatsoc.org.auOur next data science catch is this Thursday! The conversation is mostly attendee-driven, but I'm planning to kick things off with a chat about research software engineer and what it's like developing with/for developers statsoc.org.au/event-6708252
Statistical Society of Australia - Data Science SIG Monthly Catch Upstatsoc.org.auIn the past I too have fallen into the trap of thinking "if it's good enough for the ABS it's good enough for me" But as pointed out, the ABS standard is for the ABS.

Aha! Gamified DAGs do exist!!
jesskaszaYou might be interested in the daggle app: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Has anyone made a gamified version of either drawing DAGs or selecting the correct covariate set from a DAG for the estimand of interest? I'm thinking of something like ggplot battles www.ggplotbattles.dev #rstats
ggplot battleswww.ggplotbattles.devYou thought abstract submissions for the Australian Data Science Network Conference were closing today? Nope! Like all good conferences, we're extending the deadline by one week. The final deadline is July 31st (for real this time!) adsnconf2026.netlify.app @ardc.edu.au #statssky #datascience
