That really resonates with the role I’ve gone on to do."įor the record, the 3 side of Claire's dice reached 100 first.
"We had this massive piece of paper - I don’t how big it was, 8 foot long or something - literally marking on every single number that we rolled on the dice. I guess we must have rolled the dice, I don't know, 500 times or something." We waited until we got 100 of a particular number. We did a lot of throwing dice and recording what results we got for each dice, actually doing bar charts to work out which number was most frequent. Here's how she tells it: "I remember, we were doing probability experiments. That dice story? It spoke to everything Claire likes about her work: Her early interest in math and logic, that pleasing feeling of really knowing and then the uncertainty that can come when math meets chance in an experiment in her maternal grandmother's house, which her family visited every Sunday (dad's side on Saturdays). As I went on to my statistics career, you start to learn more about variation - measurement variation and other things - you start to get maybe a different perspective." There's nothing more beautiful than a nice proof," Claire said with a laugh. A couple of uncles were mathematicians, like Claire. Her grandmother on her mother's side? School teacher. Little brother Paul? He's all grown up and a physics teacher now.
Now married to John and mother to Amy, 8, and Arthur, 5.Ĭlaire comes from a family that prefers to know, to understand, to have the information at hand. A family tradition, even.Ĭlaire Bhogal was born in Leeds in the northern England, daughter of Joyce and Bernard, older sister to brother Paul. Not that anybody there at the time would have even considered it. She's an information addict.Īnd, like we said, nobody would dare try to stop her. See, Claire Harris - now Claire Bhogal - is not a gambling addict. Like any hot shooter, she wasn't stopping now.
