A successful couple of hours, but now it's time for a nap! That was a workout!

All ready for 1000 students to come through, take and compare shoe prints, and discuss probability and feature detection! #forensics #statistics #utahstateuniversity #uintahbasin

New university, fresh start... Seemed like a good time to redo my laptop stickers. Covering the laptop with contact paper first worked like a charm, and the old stickers are now adorning my office wall. So long, #universityofnebraska. Thanks for taking me in, #utahstateuniversity.

In celebration(?) of Chancellor Bennett's announced resignation from #UNL, here is a student's video showing all of the Statistics faculty testifying against the elimination of the #Statistics department at the Board of Regents. Don't let the door hit you on your way out, sir.

I have some awesome students protesting the #universityofNebraska #budget cuts to the #statistics department and other departments on campus.

Students holding signs that say "So Long AAU", "Taxpayers against Program Cuts", "The Fastest Way to Export Nebraska's Talent", and "Protect Students! Vote No on UNL Cuts".

Students holding signs that say "Vote No! Stand with UNL Educators" and "Cutting Programs Hurts Students"

Dancing at the revolution indeed. Sometimes the most mournful situations need a touch of joy. Yesterday's funeral for departments with a jazz band was amazing 😍 youtu.be/0Zyyrs46jRA?...
