Drop a note to Ron Wasserstein at ron@amstat.org about promoting your International Year of Statistics activities on the statistics2013.org website. For example, the National Center for Health Statistics has produced a poster entitled, “I Want to be a Statistician Just Like my Mom.” Two electronic versions of the poster are available and may be freely printed and distributed: The “Web Version" is created with a higher compression ratio and has a smaller file size more suitable for the Web. A “Print Version" is available on the CDC webpage on Resources for Children and Adolescents, at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nchs_for_you/children.htm.
The ASA Committee on Professional Ethics is considering embarking on a revision of the current ASA Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice, approved by the Board of Directors in 1999. We would really appreciate your comments on the pros and cons of this endeavor, based on issues the members of your section face. Any thoughts, comments, and suggestions about this are welcome. Shelley Hurwitz Chair, ASA Committee on Professional Ethics
