We must emphasize the need for evidence to support a statement and not just what we think and believe.

# data[].attributes.body
A statistician strives to understand other disciplines and how to support their decision making processes.

# data[].attributes.body
Only if we train graduate students in new methods, data types, and experimental design (plus programming).

# data[].attributes.body
sometimes teaching is the best way to learn

# data[].attributes.body
grad students?

# data[].attributes.body
Be able to work with other disciplines and be able to communicate with them.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes!  What Dennis said.

# data[].attributes.body
By deliberately planning to do so

# data[].attributes.body
They must constantly learn new things

Participate in eCOTS and USCOTS!

haha :)

Statisticians support other disciplines, aiding in the design and analysis of quantitative research, including creating new analytic methods for the ever increasing types of data that are being collected and analyzed.

Rent Deb Nolan, Nick Horton,  Michael Jordon, etc.  for a week

a statistician uses data to provide information about the world

# data[].attributes.body
A statistician gathers, pre-process, process, analyzes data to support decision making processes.

How does statistics and how do statisticians remain current in an age of ever more rapid technological change?

# data[].attributes.body
keep (shift?) the focus on data and conclusions from data

# data[].attributes.body
The mathematics goes back to a question posed by Dennis Pearl in the SBI discussion. At what point do we discuss the conditions under which statistical procedures are appropriate? Perhaps mathematics wasn't the correct word, but instead theory, which includes mathematical theory.

# data[].attributes.body
Statistics is and will remain relevant.  The issue is whether newer generations will appreciate and engage.

# data[].attributes.body
I think statistics already is relevant to the current generation

# data[].attributes.body
Why do we need the mathematical underpinnings?

# data[].attributes.body
Everybody knows "Big Data" = "Big Money"

# data[].attributes.body
Can we amend to: how can we make statistics widely relevant without losing the mathematical underpinnings?

# data[].attributes.body
Current generation is growing up with data in their pockets; they are beginning to understand the importance of data.

# data[].attributes.body

A statistician thinks about the variability in the information

# data[].attributes.body
A statistician uses technology to aid in analyzing data.

# data[].attributes.body
a statistician can separate opinion from information supported by evidence

# data[].attributes.body
A statistician cares about the question being answered.

# data[].attributes.body
Data

# data[].attributes.body
A statistician is interested in the data, analyzing the data and not overanalyzing the data.

# data[].attributes.body
A statistician asks questions.

# data[].attributes.body
A statistician cares about the quality of the data.

# data[].attributes.body
A statistician thinks about how to learn from data; about the process that generated the data; about models to describe data; and about appropriate conclusions that can be drawn.

A statistician encourages others to look at the overall pattern of data, not just one anecdote, or collection of anecdotes.

1. Who is a statistician?                                                                                                     2. Think of a teacher/mentor, colleague, and/or yourself.                                       3. Identify one typical way of thinking, acting, interacting, valuing or believing that seems unique to statisticians.
