This is a reminder that the deadline for student poster presenters'
travel support application is Friday next week (Sep. 23, 2022). We
appreciate your encouraging your students to submit posters.
In addition, I'd like to draw your attention to our elite judging team
of the SMT data challenge, a new component of UCSAS this year:
https://statds.org/events/ucsas2022/judges.html. The judges have
diverse backgrounds including people from the baseball profession,
media, and academia. Their great efforts are wholeheartedly
appreciated!
