| You know I'm a biostatistician - these were the two articles that I've generically been waiting for, addressing both the non-numeric and the number-heavy fronts, and I was sent both of them within 20 minutes of eachother on Thursday night. The numeric of these two articles is the first analysis I've seen that's mathematically "felt" right, and you can see how terrifying it is (humans don't mentally do exponentials well, it's well known in the biostatistical community).

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| We need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2019. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
