Our guest speaker, Professor Lievesley, is Head of the School of Social
Science and Public Policy at King's College London. Her many
interactions both within and outwith the research community have enabled
her to develop a broad view of the role of statistics in science and
society. She is a strong advocate for evidence-based policy and the
benefits that modern statistical methods bring to policy development and
scientific discovery. Her expertise and experience is reflected in her
past roles as Director of Statistics at UNESCO and founding Chief
Executive of the NHS Information Centre for Health and Social Care and
in her election to prestigious positions including President of the
Royal Statistical Society and President of the International Statistics
Institute. She is currently a member of the Steering Committee for the
International Year of Statistics (Statistics2013), and we have
registered the afternoon as an International Year of Statistics Event.
