Dad to Kobi & Anna; Hubby to @martablangiardo. Also, prof of Statistics & Health Economics @ucl & HoD @stats_UCL. Some time to spare for the rest. From Florence, but in London. #bayesian #rstats #HTA
Good things come to those who wait...

Hot off the press... It's been a long time in the making, but also a pleasure to work with amazing colleagues on this!
Debating with myself whether I should come back from Costa Rica or just bugger off here forever...
Thing is, on the very vast majority of days, I'm really proud to be part of UCL...
I'm super proud of @statistics_UCL who has now been conferred the Athena Swan Silver Award! Super thank you to all my colleagues! Awesome!
Many apologies for cross-posting, but I thought it may be of interest to some of you.

If you can't be bothered to read the promotional material for our BCEA book (https://gianluca.statistica.it/books/bcea/), perhaps you can listen to this?... 😁 😉
I've had **lots** of fun on a fantastic visit to @karolinskainstitutet - thanks so much Mark Clements and Paul Dickman for the amazing organisation and hospitality!
I talked about Bayesian modelling and HTA (surprise!...)
On my way back home after ISPOR in Glasgow.
As usual, very busy but nice to see lots of a friends & colleagues! Had lots fun doing my short course on Hands-on modelling in R (with Rose Hart and Howard Thom -- and, in spirit only for this time, Felicity Lamrock) + the session on missing data in PRO (with Miranda Cooper, Neil Hawkins and Olivier CHASSANY).
Great to talk R-HTA with many people too!

Will I, despite all the angst and disappointment, have managed to include a slide about Sampdoria in my talk on missing data, at tomorrow ISPOR conference session?
Come and find out for yourself... 😉
