st: Stata and biology/biomedical sciences

[David Airey <david.airey@Vanderbilt.Edu>]

.

Is it my mistaken impression or is Stata becoming mostly an  
environment used by econometricians and social scientists, whereas as  
R is used more by biologists? Or is it just that Stata is very popular  
with these groups and healthy with others, etc. The user group meeting  
has no talks from biologists who use quantitative methods. I am not  
saying that Stata's capabilities prevent use by biologists needing  
stats at all, just noting the majority of talks seem to be from  
econometricians or social scientists.
