IV Is No JT

Yesterday, at the division-wide presentations (with excellent free lunch! I suddenly love talks that completely go over my head)...

Intelligent Stat Docotor Man: In case any of you had doubts whether IV (instrumental variable) is sexy, this study on the relationship between school preference and rivers [being used as an example] was on the front page of the Wall Street Journal a few weeks ago.

Boss of Bosses: Yeah because even in grad school, the Wall Street Journal is considered sexy.

Intelligent Stat Doctor Man: Touche.



Cati, upon discovering that I work for DOPE (division acronym): You have a job! Woohoo! ... But it concerns me that they are paying you with drugs...
