Abstract: This is a draft of some thoughts on modernizing Ph.D. programs in statistics to include more training in crossdisciplinary research. My intention is to provoke discussion by presenting some specific suggestions and raising problems that must be considered in any substantial overhaul of statistics curricula. I am focusing my remarks on the M.S. and Ph.D. curriculum. Although the undergraduate curriculum is very important, there are so many differences among universities in terms of the student bodies they serve and the contexts of their programs that it is difficult to discuss undergraduate statistics education within a single framework. Nevertheless, if substantial cross-disciplinary training is introduced into the graduate curriculum, this will naturally offer opportunities for advanced undergraduate student involvement, and this will certainly enrich any undergraduate statistics program.

Efficacy and Safety of Telbivudine Compared to Entecavir Among HBeAg+ Chronic Hepatitis B Patients: a Meta-Analysis Study.
TL;DR: Telbivudine is associated with significantly higher rates of HBeAg disappearance and H beAg seroconversion than entecavir, whereas entecvir is superior to telbivUDine in safety, and both drugs have similar efficacy on rates of cumulative undetectable HBV DNA and ALT normalization.

Developing a Biostatistical Collaboration Course in a Health Science Research Methodology Program.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the development of a biostatistical collaboration course aimed at graduate students in a Health Research Methodology PhD program with Specialization in Biostatistics, which aims to promote enthusiasm and commitment to excellence in statistical collaboration in clinical research; to enhance communication of statistical issues to non-statistician collaborators; to build statistical self-sufficiency and develop skill in applied statistics.

Designing new principles to sustain research in our universities
TL;DR: In the 1990s, there was a mass of complaints by students, parents, business executives, and public officials about higher education as discussed by the authors, which reflected a widespread dissatisfaction with education in general that has spread to higher education: they do not result from a deterioration of our enterprise, but from a massive shift in the public expectation of what our enterprise is supposed to do.
