In honor of Women’s History Month, we are once again celebrating ASA women who work in statistics and data science. These accomplished women were chosen because they are leaders, mentors, and influencers. Read their stories to find out why they chose statistics, who influenced them, and what they have accomplished.

Taking a Chance on Statistics
ASA members Peter Bruce and Jonaki Bose entered the statistics profession later in life. Neither planned to be a statistician. Bose “stumbled onto it and … never looked back” and Bruce “followed opportunities as they developed.” Both took a chance on statistics and, here, they explain the significance the profession has in their lives and careers.
