ASA GivesBack is a group of early-career professionals invested in promoting philanthropy and volunteerism by organizing activities and events that give back to the community. The group’s focus this year has been on encouraging students to engage with statistics and data science via participation in science fairs and friendly data competitions.

The 2020 DataFest was held as a virtual data challenge in which students worked in teams to explore an impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

The goal of the program was improving statistical literacy and growing statistical capacity in Caribbean countries.

With support from the American Statistical Association’s member initiatives program, Julia Sharp, Megan Higgs, and Emily Griffith—with the help of Ann Hess—created a set of 10 short videos covering challenging and salient topics of communication for collaborative statisticians. The videos are freely available online and cover subjects including communication and planning, aspects of statistical inference, and professional ethics.
