hi, I'm beth 🐊

health economist/biostatistician navigating the space between rigorous methods and messy real-world programs.

what i like

📊 biostats & causal inference - i love research question pedantry and explaining that stats is more than just p-values
💰 health & welfare economics - thinking hard about what "value" means re: people's lives and wellbeing; and how/why we should measure it
🔬 philosophy of science - i like epistemology and picking apart results credibility,
🖥️ R programming - shiny dashboards, quarto reports, cost-benefit microsim, and the occasional architectural rabbit hole
🐊 crocodile plushies - ive quite a collection, and my favourites (jacklyn & jackson) are tattooed on me
🎀 soft, cozy, pastel kawaii things in general
📺 anime - Bee and PuppyCat has my whole heart

i'm loved by the best girlfriend in the world Thorn, who's teaching me to bring the same care I put into my methodology into the rest of my life

repos are a mix of health data projects, R packages, and the odd side quest
