ASA Connect

Dear ASA members,

I am happy to join your community. I am a real newbie both to ASA and stats, but looking forward to learn together with you.

I am currently a marine biologist in Norway, working with marine data analysis (such as fisheries and aquaculture). However, I am  diverting my career into (Bio)statistics, so I am following a distance-learning curriculum at the  Hasselt University in Belgium.

In sum, I have experience using practical statistics  for biological data analysis but I haven't yet built a fundamental theoretical knowledge. That is what I will be doing the next 3 years. 
I haven't decided what field of stats will be my specialization, but I guess it might be Bayesian Spatial Data Analysis (epidemiological data or other).

By joining ASA I hope to meet people with similar interests, get the flavour of stats community, and later - to participate in workshops and volunteer for ASA!

 With best wishes,

We are all very excited for you Marina.  You have a great background and attitude.  We hope that you can take advantage of all the ASA has to offer including workshops, webinars, conferences, networking, volunteering and mentoring.  Good luck!
