HELP! I'M A STATISTICIAN (GET ME OUT OF HERE???)
Dr. Marie South (Cancer and Infection Research Area, AstraZeneca)
How do statisticians thrive working in an environment where intelligent,
numerate individuals from different disciplines used to generating and
analysing their data independently outnumber them? How much effort should
statisticians invest in raising the level of statistical capability amongst
non-statistical scientists, and how much in providing direct statistical
support? This talk explores the issues which statisticians must face if
they are to continue to demonstrate added value when working within large
scientific organisations.
