Some biostats information for the USMLE’s. These notes I’ve made are the entire reason I don’t completely hate biostats anymore and I’ve been using them to teach others and revise stuff for my own exam. Step 3 in two weeks.
More to come if anyone needs them.

I may not be emotionally stable today but I am listening to a 10 hour loop of the Trans-Siberian Orchestras version of Carol of the Bells while doing biostats in R. So that's something.
TIL Day 4
Physics Lab: That my professor forgot to hit send on the ‘class is cancelled’ email. (No hard feelings /gen)
Bio Eco Lab: More replicates in an experiment creates a steeper bell curve and hopefully, more accurate results
Biostats: This is kind of general, do y’all remember that show How to Get Away With Murder? I never watched it but I think the gist was that this forensics professor named her class that, because she was teaching them all the tells murderers accidentally leave at crime scenes, and therefore teaching how to avoid those mistakes and perhaps get away with a murder of their own.
Anyways that’s what biostats is starting to feel like for biological research. I’m learning all the ways I can fuck with the stats and give myself falsely significant results. So that’s what I took away from that class today. Don’t worry, I’d never do it, but it’s really funny to think about it that way
What's a good statistical test to use for % of displayed behaviors relative to tide and air temp variables? Pelicans will be more likely to rest when it is hot outside, and less likely to be resting during high tide. What would be the best test for this?

Settling in to the first full week of part-time grad school/full-time work. I did finally get that promotion, so Wednesday’s are my official work from home days. It’s been very nice.
I still have actual work to finish up, but taking a break now to get some stats knocked out of the way and prepare for the first quiz. Learning (re-learning) about box and whisker plots right now. This is my first semester diving right into biostats (not to be confused with biomathematics that I was obsessed with in early undergrad and really do miss quite a bit), so I’m excited but also intimidated.
Studyblrs Studying Public Health
I’m trying to get more into this community since I’m starting my journey to grad school. I appreciated this community when I was applying to undergrad and finishing up my high school career, so I feel it might be helpful in this similar time. I’m struggling to find studyblrs studying public health. I will be applying to MPH programs in the fall of 2020 and hopefully concentrating in epidemiology. I really want to find people with similar interests, especially current MPH students. Please like this or reblog if you fall into this, and I will follow you!
Disease Accounting for Fun and Profit
When I was an undergrad nursing student, I hated a course called BioStats.
At the time, I hated it because it was a requirement that was useless to me as a nursing major, only marginally helpful to me as a public health minor, hellishly time intensive, slurped up my last 3 free elective credits, and caused me great distress overall. So, basically, it was necessary to graduate but useless, frustrating, and deprived me of time I would have otherwise used to do things like sleep and eat and literally anything that wasn’t Nursing School.
I am now taking Fundamentals of Epidemiology at a graduate level, and, while the material is more or less the same as BioStats (“epidemiologist” basically just means “disease accountant” after all), I like this one a hell of a lot better.
Why? Because suddenly I can put the effort in without feeling horribly guilty, (even, heaven forbid, enjoy learning) that’s why.
A lot of epidemiology (or applied statistics of any field) is being handed a massive spreadsheet of data and answering questions based on it, and later tailoring that answer to present it to someone (be it the public, or the health commissioner, or a doctor) and them being able to use the information presented.
Its a class of tinkering, of learning to solve the problem, of figuring out how to teach it to people. I love to tinker. I love to solve problems. I love to teach! And now that I’m a public health major, I don’t feel hella guilty every time I indulge in studying something that isn’t nursing- so I can afford to love it.
Its FUN. I get to do basically what I was doing on this blog, except I’m learning how to do it with data and pivot tables (which Excel for Mac now supports, which is hella). The homework is “hey, based on this data and literature, tell me which 3 of these 500 people are most likely to get heart disease in the next 10 years, and how would you give this information to a cardiologist working with these people so they can use it.” And that’s exactly something I can get behind doing for fun. And its not useless anymore.
I can’t tell you the difference it makes!
