Last night I finished Chapter 8 of Bolstad's Introduction to Bayesian Statistics, and today I drafted a conference paper set to become the main content of my MSc thesis so I can finally graduate from this fucking place. No, I did not get to use Bayesian stats in my paper: my adviser is a devoted believer in the Ritual of the P-Value (or at least, he believes conference reviewers are believers in the Ritual).

I could, but I don't know enough Bayesian stats yet to know how to measure correlation the Bayesian way.
