::: Malarkey. I've taken and excelled in upperclass statistics courses, and there were not biology students, college or graduate, in them. If Lenski has expertise in statistics then let's see it. His own "biographical sketch" doesn't even disclose what his undergraduate major was at Oberlin or what his PhD concentration at the University of North Carolina were in.[http://myxo.css.msu.edu/BioSketch.html]--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 19:26, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

::: The absence of biology students in your statistics courses does not prove that no biology students take statistics (and I am surprised that you knew what the major was of every student in your classes); as a life sciences graduate student I see biology students take statistics (usually biostatistics) all the time. Also, you are quite quick to jump to conclusions - just because Lenski does not list his fields of study for BA and PhD does not mean he is hiding something, and a biographical sketch is not a detailed CV. His honors and appointments in microbiology are all quite apparent.
