Dear Allstat,

Following the successful meeting in 2010, the Royal Statistical Society
and the University of Leeds are jointly organising another two-day
conference on Statistical Challenges in Lifecourse Research on 17 and 18
July 2012 at Hinsley Hall in Leeds.

The conference will bring together researchers from epidemiology,
statistics, and the social sciences to exchange ideas on how to analyse
longitudinal lifecourse data to identify the critical phases related to
social, psychological and physiological wellbeing in later life.

The conference will be preceded on 16 July by a half day workshop
“Lifecourse Analysis: Pitfalls and how to Avoid Them”. This will
comprise a critical review of current lifecourse methods facilitated by
researchers from the Universities of Leeds and Bristol.

Speakers at the conference will include:

Bianca De Stavola (LSHTM),
Fiona Steele (University of Bristol),
Fiona Matthews (MRC Biostatistics Unit)
Jos Twisk (University Amsterdam),
Tim Cole (UCL),
Clive Osmond (MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit),
Kate Tilling (University of Bristol),
Darren Dahly (University of Leeds) and
Yu-Kang Tu (University of Leeds).

Registration for the conference is now open at:
