Bounds and Vision

My book review in Science just came out! I reviewed book about scientific visualization.

Perhaps my favorite sentence is the following: "I also got to read fascinating tidbits about scientific heroes such as Derek John de Solla Price, who studied preferential attachment before it was invented."

The especially awesome thing is that the paper at which I am poking fun was also published in Science

Oh, and for the second time, the title of my paper includes a reference to Bowie.

Bring on the hate mail. :)

"Can Baseball Be Used to Teach Statistics?"

This is the title of my new book review of a book that attempts to teach statistics using baseball (I bet you didn't guess that...) that just appeared in Notices of the American Mathematical Society.
