ABSTRACT
Sara Majetich is an experimental physicist, and a colleague at Carnegie Mellon. As I recall, we started chatting while waiting at the airport, and agreed to meet after we returned from our trips.
What she wanted was a well-based statement of uncertainty about results she was getting from SANS (small angle neutron scattering) experiments she was conducting at the National Institute of Standards. Quickly, Chip Hogg, then a physics graduate student, and Jong Soo Lee, a postdoctoral fellow in statistics, joined our discussions.
