Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog!  My name is Stephanie Hicks and I'm a fifth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Statistics at Rice University in Houston, TX.  Over the years as a graduate student I wanted to create a space for me to post helpful things for other students in our department, but it always seemed too specific.  I'm now at a point where I would like to post not only department specific things, but also things related to research in statistics, statistical genetics, R and related to a personal hobby of mine: cooking!  My hope is that this blog will be a venue for me to post about all of the above.
