Abstract Title: Nudges, grit and grinding: My career (so far) as an academic Biostatistician
I will introduce my academic journey, including key decision points along the way. Next, I will pivot to give a broad overview of how I operate as an academic (biostatistician) and how my work has contributed to both the statistical and applied literatures over the course of my career. I will frame most of my research in the context of HIV risk reduction related projects, but largely these principles apply broadly.
