For nearly 25 years, Dean and Mike have collaborated on developing quantitative approaches for the analysis of biological data, with an emphasize on multivariate phenotypes (geometric morphometrics). They regularly teach courses in biostatistics at their home institutions, and are co-instructors of international workshops in quantitative biological methods (Geometric Morphometics and Multivariate Statistics). They are the primary authors and maintainers of two popular R-packages: RRPP and geomorph. Mike and Dean are both elected Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Dean is a recipient of the Rohlf Medal for Excellence in Morphometric Methods.
