New Author's Committee Chair

I'd like to announce a change today in our Blog Author's Committee Chair from Jim Greiner to Amy Perfors. Amy was a Stanford undergrad and is now a 3rd year graduate student at MIT. She is interested in using Bayesian technology as models of how humans think, evolutionary linguistics, how humans learn, and a variety of other interesting topics. See her web site for lots more info. In addition to writing some of our most interesting blog entries, I especially recommend this great picture of her winning a line out inrugby!

Jim, the first chair of our author's committee, led this group from a pretty good idea to, in my view and judging from our large and fast growing readership, an enormously successful and informative blog. He will continue on as a member of our Author's Committee, but he's busy this semester running his innovative class in the Law School and Statistics Department, Quantitative Social Science, Law, Expert Witnesses, and Litigation.

Jim Greiner graduated with a B.A. in Government from the University of Virginia and received a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 1995. He clerked for Judge Patrick Higginbotham on the U.S.
Court of Appeals and was a practicing lawyer in the Justice Department and private practice before joining the Harvard Statistics Department.
