Thoughts from the team

I'm interacting with exciting research every day. I get to collaborate with researchers from every area of the medical campus (and external clients, too!), so I'm constantly learning new science and working with different data sets. I've also learned so much about being a collaborative statistician by working with so many other statisticians, who all have different interests and expertise.
