@emilyk_roberts @asa_iowa @UIowaCPH Great looking group!

So great to see our Iowa chapter of the ASA @asa_iowa active and to have so many from @Iowa_Biostat attending our annual meeting and poster competition!

So great to be at #ENAR2025 to see a great poster presentation from @Iowa_Biostat PhD student Yujing and also to celebrate several previous grad classmates and their paper awards!

It was terrific to have one of our @CentralCollege mathematics alums, @jacob_oleson (@Iowa_Biostat and @UIowa), come give a talk last Friday on investigating (rising) cancer rates in Iowa. Video: youtu.be/30F_QFLinlI
