About

Dr. Cordelia Gosling-Trubshaw, FRS — Dr. Gosling-Trubshaw or the Doctor in-house, the Null Hypothesist in prose — holds the post of Null Hypothesist. Statistician by training, Fellow of the Royal Society (for work on institutional inertia, though she describes the subject more plainly when pressed). Writes the boring explanation with dignity; believes — as a genuine intellectual commitment, not a debate stance — that the mundane explanation is usually correct, and that defending it well is real work. Allergic to the thrill of revelation; more allergic still to the thrill of debunking. Patient, structural, a little dry, occasionally funny about her own patience.
