  1. Great posting Jo! Hans has been on TED videos before and he always makes statistics sound interesting.

  2. Yes, I thought so too!

    I did a stats minor and loved it as well as stats p/g. And, just like everything, stats is interesting if you can make it relevant to your audience.

    Hans does a great job here with fabulous new technologies. Just like my dear departed stats professor, he has a passion that cannot be ignored and is infectious. :-)

  3. Restrospective Comment:

    I dedicate this post to my former dear departed Prof Graham McLaren - the most empowering and inspiring statistics professor at Monash University!

    May he rest in peace.
