A friend of mine at work sent this video to me in great amusement.

I just hope he wasn’t making a comment on my behavior when it comes to dealing with our biostatisticians. I have, of course, seen investigators approach biostatistians this late in the game. Not that I’ve ever flirted with this sort of behavior, of course. At least the researcher in the video above actually consulted the biostatistician before doing the experiment, rather than after doing an experiment with inadequate statistical power to answer the question asked. On the other hand, I guess it doesn’t matter if the researcher doesn’t listen, does it?
