Calling all statisticians interested in communicating! This is a great scheme
Appropriate to be talking about Bayes at the Bayes Business School near Bayes' grave in Bunhill Fields city.ac.uk/news-and-event…
Tues 30th April: I will be talking about ‘Living with Chance, Luck and Coincidence’, at Perse School, Cambridge CB2 8QF. In aid of the excellent Sick Children’s Trust (I benefited from their charity). Wine 19.00hr. Talk 19.30hr. £15.00 (including wine). [email protected]
publicstatistic.wordpress.com/2024/03/26/lea… great post on the role of statisticians / data-scientists in scrutinising automated systems. How do they work? How good are they? How are they governed? (I think the Australian Robodebt fiasco should be better known)
Did a podcast with the wonderful Dr Roger Kneebone - including discussing performance and introversion rogerkneebone.libsyn.com/david-spiegelh…
So pleased to see EasyRead versions of our latest decision aids for the NHS now out. @lfinikarides and @luna9design in particular worked v closely with EasyRead users to ensure that they now have support to take part in decisions about their own health. england.nhs.uk/personalisedca…
Wonderful to see ex-colleague Ilan Goodman getting this well-deserved award!

One of five new NHS decision aids released today - the result of much work by a lot of people (including @luna9design and led by @lfinikarides). We very much hope they help people with difficult health decisions to make.
