Paul R. Yarnold, Ph.D., was admitted to college at the age of twelve, and began taking courses a week after his thirteenth birthday. He became the youngest-ever Research Full Professor of Medicine, and of Emergency Medicine, at Northwestern University Medical School. Simultaneously he was an Adjunct Full Professor of Academic Psychology (specializing in Behavioral Medicine, Game Theory, and Statistics) at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After thirty years, Paul left Chicago to live by the big-game fishing wharf in Point Loma, San Diego. He became a sponsored “stand-up” tuna angler, served as a mannequin model for Guess and Boss clothing, and created a statistics consulting company. During this time, he discovered quantum mechanics for non-Hilbert data (the most accurate statistical analysis paradigm ever created) and founded the Optimal Data Analysis eJournal, the most widely-read scientific journal in history, now read by scientists in 192 countries. He then returned to Chicago and worked remotely as an Adjunct Full Professor of Pharmacy at the University of South Carolina for five years. Presently he serves as a statistical/methodological consultant working with seminal scientists, continues theoretical statistics research, and writes short stories on a cornucopia of topics.
