Roundtable Luncheon
Minding the Gap
July 31, 12:30 p.m.
Discussion leaders: Barbara Hanusa and Marlene Egger
Critical roles for many applied statisticians are translating statistical methods and appropriate research designs into something nonstatisticians can use (and tolerate) and translating the concerns content area specialists have into something statisticians who focus on evolving methods and theory can expand. It is these statisticians who effectively increase the quality of the research in many content areas, but often are outside the box when it comes to recognition of their work in statistical or content areas. This roundtable is designed to bring this group of statisticians together to identify ways the ASA might support and recognize them and increase their presence within the ASA.
