The October 2017 issue of Significance is out in print and digital formats. The cover story presents a graphical account of the Great Migration of African Americans in the century following their emancipation from slavery. The issue also features an article about the final resting place of William Playfair, who devised many of the statistical graphics in use today.

Elsewhere, you will find the story of Frances Wood, a chemist and medical statistician of the early 20th century who achieved much in a tragically short lifetime. Also included is the winning article of the magazine’s 2017 writing competition for early-career statisticians.
