Statistics has become a greatly helpful scientific field for measuring and analyzing a lot of human measurements and biological processes. The notion of normal distribution and normal histogram with so known bell shape are known from 1840 that are highly used in different subfields of scientific world. Since my major is biomedical informatics, statistics is very helpful for me in studying of statistical genetics for analyzing DNA and protein sequence. Moreover, being admitted into emerging scholar program and doing research related to protein folding analysis and prediction, statistics is the main apparatus through with protein structure prediction is possible. For example Boltzmann principle and Kull-back-Leibler divergence are the basic milestones for estimating discrete probabilities and assembly of data sets for estimating these probabilities. Since it is known from Adolphe Quetelet (1940) hypothesis that most data sets related to normal distribution, it is taken the middle point of estimated probabilities as the most optimal way to describe information related to protein structure prediction as well as other DNA analysis.

Juliano’s Career Post.
well, My name’s Juliano. At this point in my life, I can only see myself being one of two things; a broke musician or someone within the field of the gaming industry. Currently, i’m in the field of computer science in hopes to one day become a game developer, and program my own games(Or games in general). Statistics plays a major role in computer science and in gaming in specific. The development team needs to manage what goes on in the environment and how the player interacts with it all. For example, there’s chances of obtaining loot from a boss, or the drop rate of a important item. (This could be similar to rolling a dice multiple times and only getting said item on a certain number.) It could also determine whether or not an effect is triggered; like something that explodes or unlocks if a sequence is met. Virtual gaming is becoming a thing and there are only more possibilities to consider. In all fields, with each new possibility another problem could arise that needs to be solved. You can only continue to find solutions to those problems and continue the cycle of development.
