本人生物在读研究生，对研究没有什么兴趣，尤其是对搞研究的前途感到迷茫。打算在
毕业之前再读一个本校的统计学双学位。老板同意了。这样在两三年毕业后，我就可以
有生物学博士和统计学硕士的双学位。:-) 在本版上看到很多人考SAS，我还没有详细
考古，不知道该不该考，也不知道生物统计尤其是有生物学博士背景的，工作会不会更
好找些？
初来此版，还请多多指点

biostatistics跟生物其实没有太大的联系吧。。。
生统和纯统计也是有些许区别的。。。

statistics.
How is your English? Biostatistics is an area that needs strong
communication skill. Your English level should be as good as an US teacher. |

told the rest of your life, sure you don't need good spoken English skill.
But to be a person with creative ideas, you need to convice your customers
that charging them $200 /hour for your service is well worth it. Writing a
SAS program is not hard, the hard part is to explain why you did it this way
and what makes your analysis better than others. |

发帖数: 182 | 4 In response to heyhey's comment, I am an assistant professor at a research
university. We have a faculty search a couple years ago. Being a member of
the search comittee, I was so embarrassed to hear from the student
representative that he would not take any class from our foreign candidates.
I can also tell you that the American members of the search comittee
eliminated anyone with poor communication skills during the phone interviews
, even though they have strong research records.
