The ASA Committee on Statistics and Disability (CSD) was recently reactivated, and co-hosts Donna and Ron welcome to the show two committee members: Ryan Machtmes and Erin Chapman. Together, they discuss the committee’s updated charge to serve the disability community within the ASA.
Erin and Ryan share their personal stories and the importance of the CSD’s revised charge, as well as programs the committee is considering for the ASA community. They detail the goal of providing guidance on best practices and universal design to improve accessibility to statistics for the public and future statisticians.
Listen to this important episode with Erin and Ryan, and don’t miss Ron’s traditional “Top 10,” as he offers up the “Top Ten Signs You Might Be a Statistician.”
