Practical Significance kicks off the new year with its January tradition of featuring the new ASA president. Co-hosts Donna and Ron welcome to the show Dionne Price, the 118th president of the American Statistical Association.
Dionne—who is the deputy director of the Office of Biostatistics, Office of Translational Sciences, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, US Food and Drug Administration—shares aspects of her “day” job and her goals for the year ahead. Listen to how an internship sparked her passion for biostatistics and how she puts the FDA and ASA missions into action. She will talk about “hot topics for research” and offer her advice for early-career professionals who might want to serve as ASA president one day.
We guarantee you will enjoy getting to know Dionne during this special episode. And there isn’t a better way to start the year than with Ron’s traditional Top 10. This month, he gives us the “Top Ten Pieces of Bad Statistical Advice.”
What a wonderful way to start 2023! I’m glad to know that 2023 will be a mission-driven year. I feel assured that DEI issues will be an integral part of specific efforts to promote the practice and profession of statistics, especially given the hiring of The Nova Collective to advise ASA. Thank you for the humorous Top 10–a funny way to address serious issues that arise for professional statisticians.
