I consider myself a parasitic biologist because I only publish with other people’s data. I recently retired from the University of Wyoming where, as a professor of statistics for over thirty years, I taught statistics to quantitative scientists from many disciplines. I earned my PhD in Biometry, (minor: History and Philosophy of Science and Technology), at Cornell University. I am a coauthor of the latest edition of Elementary Survey Sampling, Multivariate. Statistical Methods: A Primer, and Essentials of Statistics for Researchers. I am the author or a coauthor of over ninety research articles, books, and book chapters, in topics ranging from the molecular and cellular world to the visible world around us (plant, animal, and human systems).
