Delighted to see STOR-i MRes student, Joe Rutherford, highly commended in the Statistical Excellence Award for Early-Career Writing. Congratulations, Joe! @RoyalStatSoc @signmagazine lancaster.ac.uk/stor-i/about-u…

PhD students at @STORiCDT worked on a 'data dive' to support @BritishRedCross Health and Care Services to better understand whether services are reaching the people who most need their support, gain insight of health systems and develop plans for targeting services

STOR-i PhD students from the area of extreme value theory joined @SAMBa_CDT for #ITT20 last week and had the pleasure to collaborate on the problems of modelling tropical cyclones and wildfires set by @BeZeroCarbon. Thank you to @RohrbeckC for the invitation!

The first Prob_AI workshop will be held at @LancasterUni from 23- 26 Sept 2024 Co-organised with @STORiCDT the workshop focuses on the interface of Bayesian Statistics and AI. Further details, inc. speakers and registration details can be found here: bayesaiworkshop.github.io
