Huixia Judy Wang, COPSS secretary/treasurer, took a moment to ask Wickham several questions about winning the prestigious COPSS Presidents’ Award.
Joint Statistical Meetings
Many Honored at Presidential Address and Awards Ceremony
Many people were honored for their contributions to the various causes that advance the field of statistics during this year’s Joint Statistical Meetings.
JSM 2019: Reminiscing on the Impact
Let us reflect on yet another successful JSM, set against a backdrop of the awe-inspiring Colorado Front Range. I will remember fondly riding the free mall shuttle up and down 16th Street, reveling in the JSM downtown signposts welcoming us to Denver, connecting with statistical colleagues lounging for a coffee break at the Hyatt, and being greeted by the big blue bear wanting to get in on our festivities. We for sure fulfilled ASA President Karen Kafadar’s theme of Statistics: Making an Impact at the foothills of the Rockies!
COPSS Honors Four with Awards
The Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) presents awards annually to honor statisticians who have made outstanding contributions to the profession.
Diversity Workshop and Mentoring Program Celebrates 10 Years
Speakers, mentors, statisticians, and data scientists participated in the 10th anniversary of the program, which is geared toward students and early- to mid-career professionals from underrepresented groups.
Invited Session Proposals Sought for JSM 2020
It is time to start planning the 2020 Joint Statistical Meetings. To that end, the 2020 Program Committee is soliciting proposals for invited sessions.
Late-Breaking Session Focuses on Future of Statistics
For this year’s JSM late-breaking session, members of the Committee on Meetings chose a panel session reporting on the NSF workshop, “Statistics at a Crossroads: Challenges and Opportunities in the Data Science Era.”
Looking Forward to JSM
JSM offers a unique opportunity for statisticians in academia, industry, and government to exchange ideas and explore opportunities for collaboration, as well as for beginning statisticians (including current students) to learn from and interact with senior members of the profession. We hope to see you in Denver. In the meantime, enjoy these highlights.
Distinct, Dynamic, Diverse: See What Denver Is All About
Downtown Denver is steps away from the Colorado Convention Center and offers something extra for all JSM attendees.
