The North Carolina Chapter (NC ASA) launched a webinar series on statistics and data science in 2019. The series was developed based on the feedback received on the NC ASA’s 2018 statisticians’ interest survey to meet the professional development needs of our community. The series continues in 2020 with webinars featured on Bayesian statistics, data science, and machine learning. There have been three webinars this year so far, all of which can be found on the NC ASA YouTube channel.

• Essential Bayes: Paradigm, Techniques, and Software, presented by Fang Chen of SAS
• Harnessing the Human Visual System for Effective Visualization, presented by Christopher Healey of North Carolina State University
• Project Cycles, Career Path, Soft Skills, & Pitfalls in Data Science, presented by Ming Li of Amazon
