Spring Quarter 2009

To recap our Winter Quarter here, we had our official Opening Reception of the AQM Program on December 8th, the start of our First Colloquium Series on February 12th, the SREE Conference on March 1st, AQM Open House on March 6 and lastly, a solid month or two of meeting and greeting new PhD Candidates. It's been busy here! And this quarter promises more!

We have started Spring quarter 2009 with a continuation of our famous RAC 288/25 course and are looking foward to our second colloquium presentation on May 7th, when UC Davis professor, Keith Widaman, visits. Plus, we have three conferences for our Psychology and Education students!

The AERA meeting in San Diego kicks off on April 13, the WPA convention in Portland, Oregon and the Big One: the IES 4th Annual Research Conference in Virgina on June 7th. Our Phd Fellows are an ambitious bunch! See http://aqm.gseis.ucla.edu/newsandevents.html for more information.

Here's a fun joke

A consulting statistician and his client sat down together for the first time.

Client: "I desparately need your help interpreting the significant three-way interaction in this factorial ANOVA. What are your fees?"

Statistician: "One hundred dollars for three questions."

Client: "Isn't that a little steep?"

Statistician: "Not really! Now what is your third question?"

Thanks to Gary Ramseyer for some ANOVA humor
