ABSTRACT
Betty's research was supported through the Stat Lab. Partial financial support came from the ONR, National Science Foundation (NSF), US Army Research Office, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), US Public Health Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, American Association of University Professors (AAUP), and at least one private foundation. The alignment of the Stat Lab with Betty's intellectual interests is evidenced by the fact that the course catalog description of the lab included mention of a relationship with Lick Observatory until 1968. Three of Betty's research themes likely, weather modification, bioscience and health, and women's studies, involved applications of statistics to societal problems. Betty's first work in the area of bioscience and health was in 1956. The Berkeley Symposia on Mathematical Statistics and Probability were a Neyman project, a vehicle to bring together some of the best talent in statistics and where he could control what was presented and published.
