Why dont you do a paid stats course for Udemy? Explain to people techniques used in intelligence or genetics research. I'd buy such a course

There's a billion stats courses, and of course, they wouldn't allow me to teach, bad PR.

1. Topic and especially examples in your case would be different

2. Perhaps there is a platform or way to sell such a course independently? Your name for many is an excellent PR

It's underway already, I've just been unfocused on that project. I don't really like teaching.

I've been meaning to ask you this. As I recall, you're not a math major, so how did you get into statistics, what were your introductory texts, did you take a course or just started toying with R immediately? Would like some recommendations on what path to take, as I am an engineering student with rudimentary stats knowledge and would like to expand on it. Thanks for the books!

Math majors hate statistics. I've asked every math major I met at university, and not one of them liked stats. They like pure math, mostly useless stuff. Dull.

I taught myself by reading stats textbooks and playing around in R. https://kirkegaard.substack.com/p/self-teaching-stats-in-2020
