Joint Statistical Meeting (JSM) 2007
This past week I attended the JSM conference in Salt Lake City. Thankfully I wasn't on campus during this weeks events here in Minneapolis with the bridge collapse. JSM is an annual gathering of statisticians, biostatisticians, and others in this field. I heard something like 3000+ statisticians attend JSM each year.
I did not present anything, just attended it. It was interesting. Some talks I understood, while others were way over my head. I actually feel as though I understood much more than I understood when I attended JSM last, which was two years ago here in Minneapolis. One day I would love to present at this meeting. I think it would be good for my future career. Right now I don't have anything to present, but maybe in another year or two.
Here's a link to my photos of Salt Lake City: http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&Uc=19tyxfck.8urlgplk&Uy=ifev50&Ux=0. Oh, and you may see pictures of my friend John. I met John at Western Michigan University years ago. He has his Ph.D. in Statistics from Western Michigan University and is doing a post-doc at Pomona College in California.
