JASA Partners with Authors to Enhance Reproducibility
In 2016, the Journal of the American Statistical Association Applications and Case Studies introduced a reproducibility initiative to address the lack of standardized practices for reproducibility in scientific research.

This initiative has since expanded to all original research manuscripts published in the journal.

Jo Hardin
Jo Hardin’s father was an actuary so she thought about having a career in a mathematical field. But once she got to college, she fell in love with academia and found herself working toward a career as a statistics professor. She is now professor of mathematics at Pomona College. She is also a mentor for a group of students from the Chicago Public School District. Additionally, she started a program at Pomona College, Pomona Scholars of Mathematics (PSM), designed to build community and support students who are navigating college mathematics. Happily, quite a few of the inaugural PSM students are now in graduate programs in the mathematical sciences.
