DESCRIPTION:What Does a Statistician Do? The View from a Different Sort of 
 Bio-Statistician\n\nJay Jones is Lead Statistician at Weyerhaeuser Company
 \, where he has worked for the last 15 years as a statistician\, and previ
 ously for 4 years as an engineer. MS in statistics from the University of 
 Washington and MS in Chemical Engineering from Georgia Tech.“The differenc
 e between theory and practice is greater in practice than in theory.” A so
 lid grounding in theory and methods is critical to success as a profession
 al statistician. But so are many other skills – from listening and communi
 cation to version control and database management – not to mention interpr
 eting results when textbook assumptions don’t apply. As the demand for sta
 tisticians & data scientists grows\, so do the range of applications that 
 we work on and the skills demanded of us. I will highlight some recent pro
 jects across a range of disciplines – hydrology\, forestry\, manufacturing
 \, and wildlife science – to touch on the skills and methods used to addre
 ss an array of questions\, and then take a deeper dive into the study of s
 pecies of concern in the Pacific Northwest.\n
