Biography

A well-known member of the statistics and actuarial science department, Winston Cherry (right), retired officially on July 1 2006. He's been a faculty member at UW since July 1969, coming here after degrees from the University of Melbourne, Australia, and a postdoc at Cambridge. Cherry is noted as a patient teacher of statistics, with a massive, carefully edited collection of examples of numbers as they're used in the media, and received a Distinguished Teacher Award in 1991. Originally a chemist, he has specialized in statistical work in health and particularly on the incidence of cadmium and other metals in human tissue. He's also well known on campus as the co-chair of the United Way campaign for the past several years.
