#  New Author's Committee Chair 

 





February 08, 2006

 

 

I'd like to announce a change today in our Blog Author's Committee Chair from **Jim Greiner** to **Amy Perfors**. Amy was a Stanford undergrad and is now a 3rd year graduate student at MIT. She is interested in using Bayesian technology as models of how humans think, evolutionary linguistics, how humans learn, and a variety of other interesting topics. See her [web site ](http://www.mit.edu/~perfors/) for lots more info. In addition to writing some of our most interesting blog entries, I especially recommend [this great picture](http://web.mit.edu/perfors/www/lineout.html) of her winning a line out inrugby!

Jim, the first chair of our author's committee, led this group from a pretty good idea to, in my view and judging from our large and fast growing readership, an enormously successful and informative blog. He will continue on as a member of our Author's Committee, but he's busy this semester running his innovative class in the Law School and Statistics Department, [Quantitative Social Science, Law, Expert Witnesses, and Litigation](http://www.iq.harvard.edu/blog/sss/archives/2006/01/is_this_a_first_1.shtml).

Jim Greiner graduated with a B.A. in Government from the University of Virginia and received a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 1995. He clerked for Judge Patrick Higginbotham on the U.S.  
Court of Appeals and was a practicing lawyer in the Justice Department and private practice before joining the Harvard Statistics Department.
