Hello to the R User Community
Russ and I are at the R users's conference, useR! 2012 at Vanderbilt in Nashville.
We enjoyed the short course by Bill Venables, the guy who literally wrote the book on modern applied statistics.
I'm about to give my talk on HeronStatsPlugins. Wish me luck!
And stay tuned to KUBMIPresentations for slides and such.

Please email us at heron-admin@kumc.edu if you discover information you believe may be erroneous.
We are actively working on enhancing the types of data included. Stay tuned to our roadmap to track progress toward upcoming releases.
