Abstract

Joseph Biggs is a doctoral student on the verge of his dissertation defense. As the event approaches, he is thrilled to learn that he can consult with an outside expert on his statistical analysis. Coincidentally, his boss' brother is a statistics instructor at a local institution and she arranges an introduction. Soon thereafter, Joseph is shocked to see his email so horribly misinterpreted and wonders what, if anything, can be done to salvage the relationships.
