MY BOOK FINALLY CAME!

Hopefully I'll be able to start making meaningful contributions in class now! :)

Brainstorm for Independent Project

For my Independent Project I have two ideas at the present moment.

1) While working at Trinity University, I worked on a study of the effects of a prescribed burn on the invasive red imported fire ant. I have some preliminary data from directly before and after the burn that needs to be analyzed. The data consists of pitfall trap counts of native and non-native ants and counts of other insects (to order only).

2) I am looking into a local spider diversity project. I'm not sure how much data would be available for analysis at this point. I should find out the answer to that question this week.

More to come on this...

logistikos

Today was the first day of Biostatistics and Experimental Design with Mike Guill. Part of our grade will be based on maintaining a blog about our experiences and thoughts on course material.

I named my blog site Mystic Statistics Logistics. Mystic conjures up images of wonder and things unknown while logistics comes from the Greek term logistikos, meaning "skilled in calculating" (which I am not, but hope to be after this course).

Thanks for stopping by my blog pages!

Cheers!
