Other blogs you should maybe read
A non-comprehensive collection of blogs on relevant topics that I read fairly regularly and you might like. These average more technical than StatsChat.
Statistics, Graphics, and Data Science
Statistics-adjacent
- C. Titus Brown (bioinformatics)
- Hilda Bastian (evidence, bias, health)
- Kieran Healy (sociologist)
- John Quiggin (econ, lefty)
- Worthwhile Canadian Initiative, especially Frances Woolley (econ, Canadian)
- Eric Crampton (econ, ChCh, libertarian)
- Marginal Revolution (econ, libertarian)
- Language Log (linguistics)
- Felix Salmon (winner of Excellence in Statistical Reporting award)
Other social science
Stuff about science
- Janet Stemwedel (ethics and philosophy of science)
- Emily Willingham (science, especially neuro, and the selling of it)
- Derek Lowe (pharmaceutical chemistry)
- Ed Yong (mostly biology)
Journalism
Other recommendations welcome in the comments: in particular, I’m well aware that my regular technical blog reading seems to be dominated by white men.
Thomas Lumley (@tslumley) is Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Auckland. His research interests include semiparametric models, survey sampling, statistical computing, foundations of statistics, and whatever methodological problems his medical collaborators come up with. He also blogs at Biased and Inefficient See all posts by Thomas Lumley »
I’d also recommend Hilary Mason’s blog [hilarymason(dot)com] under Data Science.

Good suggestion. I tend to read her blog in bursts every few months, rather than in real time, but I’m not sure why.
