Daniela Witten of the University of Washington is the recipient of the 2022 COPSS Presidents’ Award. The citation for Dr. Witten's plaque reads: 

“For bridging the gap between the questions that scientists are asking about their data and the statistical methods that are available to provide insightful answers, especially in the context of biomedical research; for developing flexible and interpretable approaches for modeling large-scale and high-dimensional data; and for the significant elevation of statistical science via successful translation of statistical ideas to a broad audience.”
