NISS Affiliates Luncheon Meeting at JSM 2019

Sunday, July 28, 2019; 11:30 - 2 pm

This online registration is closed.  If you wish to attend the luncheon, please send an email to rfreret@niss.org. Each year at JSM, NISS Affiliates get together for a luncheon. Each Affiliate is welcome to send one or two representatives to the luncheon.  Typically the department head and the liaison.

This year luncheon speakers will feature Lisa LaVange (Professor and Associate Chair, Department of Biostatistics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; 2018 President of the American Statistical Association) and  Daniel Jeske (Professor, Department of Statistics University of California, Riverside; Editor-in-Chief, The American Statistician) to talk about the real world evidence and alternatives to traditional p-values. Mimi Kim (Division Head, Division of Biostatistics Albert Einstein College of Medicine​) is the moderator. 

Both of these topics have been of keen interest to statisticians lately.  It will be exciting to hear from individuals who sit at the center of these topics!   

We are very excited about hearing more from our affiliate colleagues on this topic and the discussion that will follow.

All Affiliate Liasons will receive an email invitation.
