Webinar/lecture – From sea snails to right whales: a walk on the wild side of statistics
Inaugural lecture by Professor Rachel Fewster, Department of Statistics, The University of Auckland, 30 November 2020
Statistics is all about making sense of data. The ecological sciences are a statistician’s paradise, continually generating new types of data that need to be made sense of, due to a surge in innovative technologies for studying the populations and behaviour of wild animals.
The old ANZSTAT mail list has now been replaced by ANZSTAT discussion forum, hosted by the Statistical Society of Australia. This is a great place to connect with the statistical community, to have interesting discussions, and advise of jobs vacancies or upcoming events. You can join the forum here https://www.statsoc.org.au/https/statsoc.org.au/discussion-forum. There is also a nice YouTube video with sign-up instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJpPOQXdZnM&t=3s.
