Statistics Consulting Services by Ashley Franklin, PhD
I offer experimental design and data analysis solutions for researchers across the biological sciences to ensure high quality data are collected and subsequently analyzed appropriately to answer questions of biological relevance for the populations being studied. As they say, when it comes to statistics, garbage in means garbage out. Let’s take out the trash.

More About Me
I currently work for the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) Reproductive Management Center in Saint Louis, MO. As Program Analyst, my primary responsibilities include (1) managing the Center's database, analyzing data from records of contraception use for efficacy, safety and reversibility, (2) conducting Reproductive Viability Analyses (RVA) to investigate factors affecting reproductive success in zoo-based animal populations, and (3) modeling the long term effects of different reproductive strategies on the genetics and demographics of zoo-based animal populations. It was during my tenure as a graduate student that I developed a strong interest in the analysis of biological data, began teaching biostatistics and experimental design to both undergraduate and graduate students, and began working as a statistics consultant.
