  <title><![CDATA[Ludovice to Host a Humorous Look at Statistics on Nov. 11 in Library]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Georgia Tech’s very
own funny man Associate Professor Pete Ludovice will present his one-man show
using humor to illustrate the value of statistics in our data-driven world Nov.
11 in the Georgia Tech Library.</p>



<p>"Feel the Power
of the Dork Side" is a funny and educational presentation on basic
statistics following a 20-30 minute period of collecting real-time data from
the audience for use in the statistical calculations. Ludovice guarantees the
show will make 63.1 ± 3.4% of you laugh until you cry and teach you to never
trust a number without an error bar on it. "Feel the Power of the Dork
Side" starts at 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11 in the Library East Commons.</p>



<p>The audience can get
involved by taking a survey on their smartphones before the show. Ludovice will
take his one-man show on the road for the New Orleans Fringe Festival November
16-19.&nbsp; </p>

<p>Ludovice lectures
internationally on the use of humor in technical communication and education.
He conducts research with the Improvisation for Design of Engineering
Alternatives, a group of Tech researchers who apply the techniques of
improvisational humor to technical innovation.</p><p>Join Ludovice at 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11 in the Georgia Tech Library’s East
Commons for “Feel the Power of the Dork Side.” For more information, visit<a href="http://www.drpetecomedy.com/dorkside. "> <a href="http://www.drpetecomedy.com/dorkside" title="http://www.drpetecomedy.com/dorkside">http://www.drpetecomedy.com/dorkside</a>. </a></p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
