#TeamEdgeworth had a great time at the Washington Nationals Mushball Classic! Our team enjoyed beautiful weather and had a blast representing the firm again this year.   All proceeds from this event went to the Nationals Youth Baseball Academy, which serves DC youth with free programs designed to foster their positive character development, academic achievement, and improved health. Thank you to everyone who participated as well as the Washington Nationals organization for putting together this event.

On this episode of #OfSignificance, Stephen G. Bronars, Nathan D. Woods, PhD and Brent Butgereit take on sampling. It’s a fundamental component of statistics and there is endless opportunity for stimulating conversation about it.   Listening to only one minute will NOT be a representative sample of this episode – you might want to listen to the entire thing.   Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eWqvH4aQ   #sampling #economics #economicconsulting

Edgeworth’s very own Matt Milner, Jesse David, and Harry Higginbottom (and their mascot Turbo!) are currently participating in the annual four-day Champion Awareness bike ride in partnership with the Prevent Cancer Foundation.   Champion Awareness is a cause that uses cycling and social media to educate people about cancer, raise awareness about early detection, and support people that have battled and continue to fight these diseases. The 340-mile ride (yes, you read that right!) will take them through Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia.   We are cheering them on and look forward to hearing their stories from the journey!   To donate to the Prevent Cancer Foundation and support the cause the team is biking for, click here: https://lnkd.in/ePUCFeFx #TeamEdgeworth #cancerawareness #biking
