There are people who come into your life and change it for the better. Elwyn did that for me as a mentor, an investor and a teacher. We regularly had lunch near his office in Rockridge to discuss math and clinical trials, a particular shared interest of ours.
Elwyn spent a lot of time at MSRI and this Numberphile video captures him doing something he loved: playing mathematical games.

Elwyn came from Kentucky and KET, the PBS affiliate there, did a really nice retrospective on his life and work.

Thanks for everything Elwyn.
- mjfl 8y agowhat sort of clinical trials?
- jchallis 8y agoElwyn was very active in bringing pulmonary fibrosis medications to patients, spending substantial amounts of his own time and money. From that experience, he was interested in how novel clinical trial designs could assess the effectiveness of therapies faster for patients while controlling for bias and luck.
