Primary Academic Interest: 
Probability and statistics; statistical education

My scholarship has mostly been in statistics education, where I have contributed journal articles, organized and participated in sessions and panels at national meetings, edited one book for the Mathematical Association of America, and participated and occasionally chaired committees of the MAA or ASA on statistics education. My very best professional idea was to found, with Rosmary Roberts of Bowdoin College, the Statistics in the Liberal Arts Workshop (SLAW) an amazing group of statisticians from colleges similar to Grinnell that has met annually since 1987 to promote various projects.

Outside of work, I like to read (especially poetry and biography), play with our grandchildren, cook, take walks, swim, run, listen to music, watch birds or do crosswords with Emily, hang out with friends, and stay involved with the work of my church.
