David's Story
I am currently the Principal Biostatistician for the Cancer Prevention Institute of California (CPIC). CPIC is a non-profit dedicated to preventing cancer (by finding causes thereof) and reducing the burden on those already diagnosed.
Before that I spent nearly thirty years at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a computer scientist, software engineer, and statistician. For the last twenty or so of those years I was involved with molecular biology and genomics as a part of the government's effort to sequence the human genome. ...Expand for more
I (finally) got my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of California, Berkeley in the '90s. I think/hope Jack Munson would be proud.
I am happily married to Peggy Reynolds. She would be quite embarrassed to admit that she is one of the nation's experts in environmental risk factors for cancer. (She was a PI in the definitive study that nailed down the effect of environmental tobacco smoke on lung cancer in non-smokers.) We have been together for over thirty years.
We are sailing into retirement at a reasonable measured pace.
