About Beer
Why 
相信很多统计学相关专业的同学都知道Box-Cox变换，这里Box就是统计学巨擘George E. P. Box. 在其讣告Renowned statistician George Box dies at 93 中有这么一段关于Monday night beer and statistics sessions的介绍(这在其传记中也有相关的介绍)。
Monday night beer and statistics sessions
Best known on campus were the Monday night beer and statistics sessions Box hosted at his home for students and other researchers. The gatherings sparked lively discussions about how statistics could help solve research problems posed by speakers from a wide range of disciplines.
