Cheapskate evolutionary biologist underpays his statistical help 0 ▲ Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science 1 hour ago · Science · hide · 0 comments OK, this one was funny. I searched the Epstein files for “statistician” and found this receipt from biologist Robert Trivers: Only $1000 for the statistician??? What a cheapskate! Especially given that he said the statistician “did an outstanding job.” Given all the statistical problems in evolutionary biology, maybe he should’ve allocated more of his research budget to the statistician. Some background on Trivers is here. No comments yet. Log in to reply on the Fediverse. Comments will appear here.
