Over the past few years, oftentimes, I have been asked how we did it. How did we manage to attend statistics lectures in the fields of politics and sociology, 4 different tutorials a week, while developing additional exercise sheets for our fellow students, including solutions, so enthusiastically? How did we become the founders of the Statz4life-institute, answering every student’s question in an online forum, and meanwhile visiting supplemental talks where we discussed the handling of statistical significance levels in the current academic publishing practice? Were we especially enthusiastic about mathematics or statistics before our magical summer of statistics? The answer is no, not at all.
