    Statisticians Get to Play in Everyone’s Backyard – Maybe Even Yours. These metaphorical yards include engine oils, automotive paints, bullet-resistant body armor, medical device packaging, cancer detection, flu virus spread, crop yields, and invasive plant species. Other statisticians work in finance, technology, or public policy. In all of these areas, we transform relevant data into information to help teams make decisions in the face of uncertainty.

    Kevin Pitts: Our national investment in science , redirect

    When it comes to science research, the link between investment and outcome is sometimes just as clear as that bridge. At Virginia Tech, our scientists are predicting water quality in lakes and reservoirs; this helps municipal water agencies know how to treat the water to keep it safe. We are developing new types of antibiotics to combat drug-resistant infections. We are discovering how infectious diseases migrate and spread. We are gaining understanding of the neurological basis for autism.
