Plus ça change, plus ça change

Yes, its true, the more things change, the more things change. Last October our staffing changed from 4 1/2 stat consultants to 3 1/2 when long time consultant Michael Mitchell left ucla to do secret government work. Actually, he is doing research and data analysis for the Veterans Administration. At the end of this month we will lose our half-time biostat doctoral student Brad McEvoy, who will be devoting his full attention to his dissertation and research work with his advisor.

This reduces us to just three stat consultants for a while. A new full-time consultant should be joining the staff soon, possibly by the middle of February. And, we have just posted a job announcement for a new half-time person. Hopefully, when all the new people are on board and up to speed, things will return to so called normality.
