Wayne Folta is a Lead Data Scientist with Elder Research, a leading data science consulting company and the parent of Statistics.com.  Wayne’s current ongoing project involves the extraction, analysis and redaction of text.  For example, a healthcare organization might need to release records, stripped of personally identifiable information, to a partner for analysis;  Wayne’s work facilitates that.  Wayne is also an instructor for Statistics.com’s newest course, Analyzing and Modeling Coronavirus Data, which introduces statistically-literate analysts and epidemiologists to the wealth of Coronavirus data now available, and to the different epidemiological and statistical approaches for modeling that data.  In his spare time, Wayne enjoys snowboarding and the ancient game of Go.
