Amanda L. Golbeck
Amanda Golbeck was a first-generation college student, who attended Grinnell College on scholarships. It was at Grinnell she taught herself how to conduct a cluster analysis using SPSS, analyzed the results, and became hooked on quantitative research. She earned her graduate degree and studied a broad array of subjects—finally settling on biostatistics. In 2017, she authored a book on the life and work of Elizabeth Scott: Equivalence: Elizabeth L. Scott at Berkeley. It includes a microhistory of Scott’s use of statistics to promote the status of women in science.
