Q All your degrees are in mathematics. How then did you become a biostatistician? A I majored in math at The City College of New York (CCNY), where I took and really liked probability theory. I applied to graduate schools with the intent of doing a PhD in probability theory, but almost all the activity at that time was in math departments. In graduate school, I had been told that if I wanted to study probability theory, I also had to study statistics, and so I did, and my thesis was on the distribution of test statistics of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov type.
