The Workshop, which gathered some of the top statisticians in the world, took place at the Royal Statistical Society's headquarters in London. The invitation-only event brought together statisticians, scientists from other fields who collaborate with statisticians, science writers and representatives of funding agencies.
Among the many speakers were Terry Speed of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Susan Murphy of the University of Michigan, Bernard Silverman, chief scientific advisor to the UK Home Office, Andrew Gelman of Columbia University and Steve Feinberg of Carnegie Mellon University. Presenters spoke on a variety of subjects from health, dietary, and environmental issues to the challenge of reproducibility to the portrayal of statistics in the media.
A major outcome of the workshop will be a paper—produced by a professional science writer—that will be targeted to worldwide funding agencies.
