Can't wait for the New York Times to analyze the March for life this week with this newfound crowd size obsession

It's sort of like janitors being called "maintenance engineers."

A "crowd scientist" is one level above "climate scientist".

Some government bureaucrats who are about to get canned in an administration that actually cares how tax dollars are spent.

Keith Still Homepage

Seems like he's got a legit career in studying crowds. Might be a case of studying that which doesn't need to be studied, but it's not like the NYT just pulled some rando, newly graduated statistician off the street to give them the conclusion they wanted

A scientist is someone who implements the scientific method. How does one test crowds?

How did Trump estimate it? According to AllSpicer, he did it standing there taking the oath.

So... How does one test crowds??
