🍁 Last week, some of our faculty and students enjoyed the time-honored Wake Forest tradition of "Pits-giving!" They enjoyed all the usually yummy fall foods and took some time to enjoy each others' company, too.

I'm Sarah! I teach undergrad and grad (bio)statistics at @wakeforeststats.bsky.social! My latest exam bonus question presented students with a statistic: Giraffes are 30 times more likely than people to be struck by lightning. Do you think this statistic is... too big, too small, or just right?
