LINKEDIN ARTICLES – BIOSTATISTICS
Designing and Implementing Experiments
- The Scientific Method
- Proposing Hypotheses
- Type-I and Type-II errors (false positive vs false negative)
- Significance (ensuring any differences are real)
- Power, Effect size (test sensitivity)
- Variance (data spread and “noise”)
- Replication
- Experimental Degrees of Freedom
- Randomization
Descriptive statistics (critically evaluating experimental data)
- Q-test (eliminating outliers)
- SD, SE, and 95%CI (quantifying variability – and significance?)
- Chi-square test (goodness of fit)
- Corrected efficacy for untreated control mortality (Abbot’s correction etc.)
Inferential statistics (accepting or rejecting hypotheses)
- Data types
- Parametric and non-parametric methods
- F-test (determining equivalence of variance)
- One- and Two-Sample Means Comparisons (the t-test) (significant differences)
- ANOVA (significant differences for multiple samples)

From Discovery to Product
I help early-stage crop protection and biocontrol teams turn scientific leads into formulation-ready products. If you’re working with synthetic, microbial or metabolite-based actives and are serious about moving from the bench to the field, I can help you avoid costly missteps and accelerate your path to something that actually works—in the greenhouse, in the sprayer, and on the shelf.
Typical ways we can work together:
-
Advisory calls – Fast, targeted input on strategy, strain-to-formulation fit, or technical reviews
-
Formulation planning – Roadmaps, screening protocols, and design input that make your CRO time count
-
Product development – Field-use formulation logic, delivery system matching, and regulatory-conscious decisions
-
Ongoing support – Monthly access to answer questions, review data, or help align internal teams
I’m not a formulation contractor. I’m a strategic advisor who understands both the biology and the product reality. I work on an hourly, project, or retainer basis depending on your stage and scope. If you’re a funded startup, an R&D team, or a founder trying to build something that lasts, let’s talk.
