They’re something we walk past, drive past and ride past often, and 90% of the UK’s adult population now live within 5 minutes of a bus stop! This fact is the reason that bus stop posters represent a perfect opportunity to communicate marketing messages https://t.co/Wflv697AVc

2018 International Prize in Statistics awarded to Bradley Efron

The statistical equivalent of the Nobel Prize has been awarded to RSS fellow Bradley Efron, professor of statistics and biomedical data science at Stanford University.

Bradley was awarded the prize for the creation of the ‘bootstrap’, a method he developed in 1977 for assessing the uncertainty of scientific results. The method has had an extraordinary impact across many scientific fields and transformed science’s ability to use and understand data. It’s also helped usher in a new era of data analysis through computing.

Joyce Fienberg killed in Pittsburg synagogue shooting

We are shocked and saddened to learn that Joyce Fienberg, the widow of RSS fellow Steve Fienberg, was killed in the recent terrible synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh.

Steve Fienberg, who died on 14 December, 2016, aged 74 years, was a longstanding RSS fellow who made outstanding contributions to statistics as professor of statistics and social science at Carnegie Mellon University. He was a well-known figure in statistics and many who knew him also knew Joyce, who was a researcher at the University of Pittsburg and who spoke at a memorial event for Steve at this year’s Joint Statistical Meetings in Vancouver.
