Dear all,
Significance, a quarterly magazine for anyone interested in statistics and the analysis and interpretation of data, has recently launched a new website,
www.significancemagazine.org
and is looking for volunteer writers.
The website is a new venture – it started in late October – and has around 19 writers for it, of various specialisms, and something new about statistics posted on it most days. Significance would like to make that every day, and is thus interested in recruiting more volunteer writers for it.
Any statistician, of whatever their background, is welcome (as long as they can write in a way that non-specialists can understand, or are willing to have a crack at learning to do so.) It would involve writing one short (3-600 word) piece a fortnight for the site – it might ease to one every three weeks if we get enough recruits. The pieces are about statistics in the real world, understandable by non-specialists, as well as of interest to specialists.
It might be ideal for a PhD student, or for anyone starting out on a career. It would get the writers used to communicating ideas, and to networking around their immediate speciality, etc, and might look good on a cv or in grant or job applications; and they get their names on the pieces.
Any potential volunteer should get in touch with Julian Champkin at [log in to unmask]
With best wishes,
Oliver Ratmann
