Do you know Carol Bigelow?
She was the 2017 winner of the TSHS Distinguished Achievement Award. Carol is a Research Associate Professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst School of Public Health and Health Sciences. Dr. Bigelow has been active in numerous roles in TSHS serving as program chair in 2009, section chair in 2012 and council of sections representative for 2016 - 2018.

What others are saying:
“Carol initially organized and moved forward the TSHS Portal. .... Although still a work in progress, there is now a very helpful product available for health science statistics educators to access. There is also a sub-committee that provides peer-review of materials that are submitted for inclusion into the Portal.”
“I am certain that TSHS is a stronger section due to Carol’s many efforts.”
