the return of Biostatistics Ryan Gosling !!!

Move over “American Idol,” “America’s Got Talent,” and “Dancing with the Stars”! A significant new talent competition, ASA’s Got Talent, will be launched in 2014 to help energize our future. Entrants will submit a short (<5 min.) video of their statistically themed performance online by January 1, and an esteemed panel of judges will notify finalists by February 1. During the ASA 175th Birthday Party on Tuesday evening at JSM 2014 in Boston, finalists will perform live before the JSM audience, which will vote wirelessly to select the ASA’s Got Talent winners.

Importance samplers, sum of squares, expectation maximization, time to event data, double-blind trials, relative risk, product-limit method, adaptive sampling, and permutation tests.

One last thing, please keep your suggestions rated PG.
