A program/campaign signage piece for the Master of Applied Measurement, built around a backyard regression-discontinuity study of the local last-frost date
A marketing poster for the Master of Applied Measurement's next intake, built around a quasi-experiment exploiting the naturally occurring cutoff at a district's published last-frost date: seedling survival across 46 households and 312 raised garden beds jumps sharply right at the date, with no matching shift in bed orientation, species mix, or gardener experience. The programme has adopted the same date as a binding rule for the University's own grounds planting, with no exception carried past a single growing season.
