\begin{abstract}
Hi Reddit! I am Clifford Spiegelman. I grew up on Long Island and was a
rather undistinguished High School student (rank about 80 out of 400). I
graduated from the same small High School (Berner in Massapequa) that
Alec Baldwin attended. I graduated with 3 majors math, stat, and
economics in 1970 from SUNYAB. After a stint in the army reserves, I
graduated with a PhD in Applied Mathematics/Statistics in 1976 from
Northwestern U. I spent 9 years working as a staff statistician at NBS
(now NIST) and now 30 years at Texas A\&M where I am Distinguished
Professor of Statistics. I have a number of appointments including
Official Statistician of the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission,
and stat advisor to the Texas Forensic Science Commission. I cofounded
Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems in 1985 and am editor
emeritus. I will use the JFK comparative bullet lead analysis (CBLA) and
firearm/toolmark evidence as examples of flawed forensic science. While
the flaws in the JFK case are not extraordinary, people seem to care
more about these flaws than 100s of other cases with less known victims
and defendants. (See
http://www.newsweek.com/jfk-assassination-modern-forensic-science-could-finally-solve-shooting-741292
and
https://www.innocenceproject.org/flawed-forensic-science-misleads-more-than-juries/.
) I'll be back at 10 am ET to answer your question, ask me anything!%
