The winners of our latest member referral scheme prize draw have been announced as Dr Olaniyi Mathew Olayiwola and Professor Olusegun Folorunso.
Dr Olayiwola (pictured left) is a senior lecturer at the Department of Statistics at Federal University of Agriculture in Nigeria. His research interests include survey methodology, sampling, big data analysis and climatic modelling. Dr Olayiwola has been a fellow of the RSS since 2012 and is a founding member and chair of the new RSS Nigeria local group, which will begin its activities next year. He has been actively referring his colleagues to the RSS, including Professor Folorunso.
The Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) has awarded its 2018 Presidents Award to RSS fellow, Richard Samworth.
The award is presented every year to a young member of one of COPSS’s societies, recognising outstanding contributions to the profession of statistics. This year’s award citation recognised Richard for his ‘fundamental contributions to nonparametric inference’ and for ‘many substantial contributions to the profession, including editorial service and extensive service to statistical societies; and for the training and mentoring of junior researchers.’
The 6 sheet is a great size for advertising offering great value for money and exposure. They are typically positioned in areas of high-footfall and are often seen on bus stops.

To celebrate European Statistics Day, the RSS has contributed to a memorial plaque in memory of statistician and anti-slavery campaigner Zachary Macaulay, who used his statistical skills to help abolish slavery within the British Empire in the 19th century.
The plaque was unveiled yesterday (Friday 19 October 2018) in St George’s Gardens, London to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Macaulay’s birth.
Have a great weekend all! https://t.co/0ksU5RcugZ
