Constantin Yiannoutsos *The culture of “why not?”: Musings by an accidental statistician from three decades of tinkering with data*, June 6th @ 1pm, IM, room 606
The talk will be on zoom, but you are welcome to attend together in room 606 in the Institute of Mathematics.
Abstract: In this talk I will describe my experience being a statistician in a dramatically and unpredictably changing field. I will share stories and adventures that I’ve had through my science making the basic point that, as scientists (and not only as statisticians) we need to have an awareness about the world and an entrepreneurial attitude in finding new opportunities and new ideas.
