  • PhD: The most useful resources so far

    I am in year two of my PhD program, and am enjoying the process, learning, and exploration so far. Yes, I am only a little over half way with the coursework, but that is a great place. I was thinking, however, about what advice I would give to someone just starting his / her PhD.…

  • Additional Plot.ly v. JMP comparisons
