Professor of Statistics at Swarthmore College. I use statistics to study paleontology, evolution, and extinction. I also compose percussion music for fun.

Love the fact Steve Wang is applying modelling methods from #paleontology to provide another estimate of #RightWhale population abundance size. #NARWC2023

The NARWC Annual Meeting is a model for how to run a hybrid meeting. I'm attending and presenting remotely, and I've been able to easily ask and reply to questions. Good use of Zoom; I like that I can see both the audience and the stage in different windows. #narwc2023

Excellent (and surprisingly detailed) article on North Atlantic right whales. Glad to see this critically endangered species getting some mainstream coverage.

Enjoyed attending the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium Annual Meeting remotely this week. Thanks to Heather Pettis and NARWC for a superbly run hybrid conference. It was inspiring to see all the work done by people dedicated to saving this magnificent species. #narwc2023

This hypothesis would account for size selectivity, as larger species (with greater cross-sectional areas) would be more likely to be hit.

The poster session is always a highlight of Intro Stats at @Swarthmore. There's no better demonstration of the power of statistics than the variety of topics that students choose for their projects - from voting patterns & public transportation to music reviews & Travis Kelce.
