Worrying about everything else is wearing down my
sanity. Worrying about climate change feels like a welcome, familiar
distraction because the solutions are so linear. We can literally money our way
out of this one, but it's a lot of money? How much, exactly, is the personal price of carbon absolution?

Statistics, Gambling, and Games of Chance
This is a proposal for a survey course on statistics that uses
gambling extensively in examples. The target audience is senior undergraduates with a non-statistical
background, but quantitative students will also find enough novelty to be
interested. The goal of the course is not to encourage gambling, but to use it
as a vehicle for a broad range of otherwise difficult statistical topics.
