As an extravert, I do well on stage and I can join your event to talk about soils, ecology and sustainability.

Statistical consultancy

(Prefer a priori)

I like to analyse data* with an elegant statistical model, to bring out the beauty in data. I can help you too.

 

* Note, I am no* NOT* a certified (bio)statistician. I taught statistics to undergraduates for several years, and I am huge enthusiast for new models and approaches. I worked with many analysis types and am generally praised for the analysis work by reviewers. That said, I am human and I get things wrong sometimes.
