Bladnaie worked with B.V. and Dr. Frank B. Munch in his home city in Pennsylvania. B.V. was a pioneer in the development of “natural” techniques of statistics. He was interested in how statistics could be used to help scientists understand how we live our lives, to make it safer for people to live as they wish, and so to help the environment. He studied statistics at U.S. universities like Harvard, Princeton, Yale and University College London (University of Cambridge.)
