He really is - and I mean, a PhD student teaching one of the most prominent statisticians (at Harvard...) the basicsof statistics is pretty, well, ballsy.

It's not snarky though - to his credit. It's delivered in a scientific way. Not like the total BS spewed out by a certain Broad Post-Doc [alignment/assembly tweet comes to mind].
