How can we communicate data and what they mean to the public? This question was addressed by a Tuesday session in the RSS conference’s Communicating Statistics stream, titled: Understanding and communication of statistics.
The session focused on communication of statistics so they are better understood by the public. Rebecca Goldin (who later delivered the conference’s President’s Invited address on the same issue) argued that because the public have so little interest or access to statistical education, that the media plays an essential role in discussing statistics as they will arguably have more influence than the scientific community. Rebecca’s organisation, STATS, has made efforts to encourage and improve statistical literacy in the US media.
