Episode 63: Real World Data Science: Who’s Writing the Story

In this episode of Practical Significance, cohosts Donna LaLonde and Ron Wasserstein welcome Real World Data Science managing editor, Annie Flynn (Royal Statistical Society), and editorial board members Monnie McGee (Southern Methodist University) and Willis Jensen (CHG Healthcare) to talk about what stories need to be told. Real World Data Science, a publication from the Royal Statistical Society in partnership with the American Statistical Association, serves people working in data science who are looking for practical insights, methodological rigor, and thought leadership that informs their work and decision-making. 

Listen in as the editors discuss what sets the publication apart and share their vision of building a trusted, open-access resource that strengthens connections between statisticians and data scientists while fostering community dialogue around best practices. And you won’t want to miss Ron’s traditional top 10, “The Top Ten List of Statistics True Crime Podcast Ideas.”
