I would like to highlight two resources that, in my humble opinion as ISBA Social Media Manager, remain under-recognized yet immensely valuable:
ISBA Webinars on Bayesian Analysis Articles (2019–present).This webpage gathers an exceptional collection of webinars discussing Bayesian Analysis articles since 2019. For anyone curious about the frontiers of Bayesian statistics, this series brings together cutting-edge research from world-class experts. The talks span topics such as model uncertainty and missing data, new perspectives on stick-breaking models, sparse Bayesian factor analysis, and advances in causal inference under model mis-specification. Other contributions cover nonparametric priors, spatio-temporal modeling of Arctic sea ice, Bayesian regression trees for causal inference, and much more.The next BA webinar will focus on the paper “Model Uncertainty and Missing Data: An Objective Bayesian Perspective” by G. García-Donato, M. Eugenia Castellanos, S. Cabras, A. Quirós, and A. Forte. There will be four invited discussants: M. Clyde, M. Ferreira, A. Ly, and J. Rubio. It is scheduled for November 5, 2025 (4:00 PM UTC | 11:00 AM EST | 5:00 PM CET). Registration will be announced later on this webpage.ISBA YouTube Channel.All recorded webinar videos are available on the ISBA YouTube channel. Beyond the webinars, the channel hosts curated playlists from ISBA World Meetings (2012, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2024), specialized workshops and seminars (ABI, BNP, BayesComp), as well as content from ISBA Sections (j-ISBA, BNP, BioPharma, Industrial).These resources deserve broad visibility. I warmly encourage you to explore them, share them within your networks, and let us know your feedback.— Julyan, on behalf of the ISBA Social Media team
