Stephen E. Fienberg, Maurice Falk University Professor of Statistics and Social Science in the Department of Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University, was chosen as the 22nd Pfizer Colloquium presenter in the Distinguished Statistician series. He presented a colloquium in honor of David Salsburg, titled "Statistics in Service to the Nation." The 72-minute lecture was professionally filmed on October 29, 2009, and is archived at the American Statistical Association. In this film, Fienberg tells about his journey and explains how his mentors, Don Fraser and Fred Mosteller, influenced him to collaborate in solving a number of nationally important problem areas requiring both novel statistical input and new research. Fienberg made fundamental contributions in many of those areas.
