The Biometrics Section will sponsor many CE courses and invited sessions at the 2017 Joint Statistical Meetings in Baltimore.

The section is also a Silver Sponsor of the Diversity Mentoring Program. We also encourage members to consider applying for the program next year.

Speaking of next year, it’s time to start thinking about invited sessions for next year’s Joint Statistical Meetings, which will be held July 28 – August 2, 2018, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Anyone interested in organizing an invited session or who has an idea for one should contact our section’s 2018 program chair, Youyi Fong, at youyifong@gmail.com. Please also submit ideas for short courses to our 2017–2018 continuing education chair, Rosemarie Mick, at rmick@upenn.edu.
