CPD159-ASC 2023 Workshop- Essential Skills for Statistical Communication

Presented by Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter, University of Cambridge and Dr Linden Ashcroft, University of Melbourne

About the workshop:
Communication is an essential skill for statisticians who commonly need to explain complex concepts in a digestible manner to people from different disciplines. Unfortunately, few statisticians receive formal training in this area. The COVID-19 pandemic helped highlight just how important statistics is and raised the importance of clear communication. This workshop, delivered by leading figures in communication and statistical communication, will help attendees gain confidence in communicating their work and provide attendees with tips for good statistical communication.

Presenters:        Prof. Sir David Spiegelhalter, University of Cambridge

                           Dr Linden Ashcroft, University of Melbourne

The workshop will include a panel discussion — presenters Prof David Spiegelhalter and Dr Linden Ashcroft will be joined by applied mathematician and science communicator Dr Sophie Calabretto, and ABC journalist and ‘lapsed mathematician’, Casey Briggs, to share their experiences.
