Biography
Susan Vanderplas ( Find me on Mastodon!) is an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Utah State University, researching the perception of statistical charts and graphs. Dr. Vanderplas also works on developing statistical methods for bullets and cartridge cases, and more broadly on statistics as applied to forensic science.
In any spare time (hah) she likes to sew, cross-stitch mildly off-color sayings, bake, and play with a 3D printer.
