How has being a Statistical Science graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"Very relevant work skill for my first jobs. Respected domain expertise professionally. Know how to get closer to the truth in the world by understanding concepts like selection bias and correlation not causation."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Statistical Science programs?

"Do more projects/internships If you want to find a job, try coding more, don't just learn the theories Find a job that you can continue to use what you learned at Duke."
