MEASUREMENTS AND STANDARDS
I have been very fortunate to have been actively involved with one of the largest organizations dealing with physical and other types of measurement standards. Originally called the American Society for Tests and Measurements, ASTM International. About 140 different committees consisting of representatives of industry, government, users, academics, and others help develop standard methods of conducting various measurement procedures. Whether determining how strong a piece of metal is, the color of the paint you would use in your living room, how good the thermometer you use to measure your body temperature or the temperature of the steak you cook, or hundreds of other aspects of items you use every day, all the parties need to recognize how close or far apart measurements can fall.
It is through this involvement that I have helped lead major efforts to formalize and clarify how to deal with the ever present concerns with how good are the measurements themselves. Data always requires taking some form of measurement and without a clear understanding of how this is to performed, how close readings can be taken - the precision of those measurements - all the statistical analyses may be useless

CONSULTING AND TRAINING
For almost 35 years I have had the pleasure of consulting in a wide variety of fields and of providing training to a spectrum of individuals and groups. I have another website ULLMAN ASSOCIATES LLC which describes that work more carefully. So if you are interested in the more technical areas I also deal in, do visit it.
