Testimonials

Their approach is to “teach a man how to fish” and has helped me develop statistical literacy that will be helpful in my future as both a producer and consumer of scientific literature. The knowledge I have gained in one hour of working with them is equivalent to months of a high-level statistics course. I have recommended the Statistical Consulting Group to multiple people within my department and have only heard positive things from my peers. This is an invaluable resource!

My experience with the Statistical Consulting Group was vital to the success of my dissertation. I would highly recommend this resource as a great way to learn more and foster collaboration and understanding across the sciences.

I appreciated that the statistician spent time to help me understand his thought process, so that I could be more efficient and independent in future projects.
– Elaine Lipkin, PhD Student, Food Science

The Statistical Consulting Group has been a critical part of my lab’s success. In fact, when mentioning the Group to my research technician he replied, ‘I’m not sure how I would have published my last three publications without their help.’ They assist us in producing high quality and impactful research.
– Paul Koch, Professor, Plant Pathology

The statistical consultant has always been immensely helpful and knowledgeable, and I cannot express how much I learn each time I meet him. Statistical consultations ensure that our research gets reviewed by a statistician before publication, which is crucial for maintaining the quality of our work. I hope that many more will take advantage of this invaluable resource.

The statistician’s professionalism, kindness, and resourcefulness truly stood out during our meetings. His explanation was so clear that I could explain the basics of statistics, and where the project needed to go, to my partner after our meeting.
– Erin Townsend, iBio 152 Student

The Statistical Consulting Group has been critical to the success of my laboratory’s research. Often, we don’t have the statistical knowledge we need “in house,” so we’ve turned to the Group. Their friendliness, skills, expertise, and total professionalism have enabled many of our papers, including high impact papers showcasing the best of the Wisconsin Idea. Not having access to statistics consulting would negatively impact our research.
