Prof. Jennifer Visser-Rogers

Exciting news...my TEDx talk is now LIVE!!! Check it out: ted.com/talks/jennifer… So thankful to @TEDxNewcastle for giving me the opportunity to come and be part of their 2019 event #TEDxNewcastle #TED

Posting for the first time in a long time for what will be my final post on here! I’ve stopped using as it’s become a hotbed for toxicity and instead, I’m joining all the nice guys on Bluesky. I’m statsjen.bsky.social if you want to come follow me over there!

@TruckFestival We bought general tickets and purchased a red car parking ticket accordingly. We have just purchased a Zodiac Field upgrade meaning that we will now need to use the purple car park. Is there a way to get our parking ticket exchanged from red to purple

Well well well… we’re just 10 days away from opening our gates to you lot 💥 🎉 We’ve got under 300 tickets left to sell, so if you’re on the fence, it’s time to get off and join us for the best weekend of the year 🫡 Last chance to get yours here 👉 truckfestival.com/tickets/

We are so sad to hear of the passing of Frank Duckworth MBE, co-inventor of the Duckworth-Lewis method for cricket and a much loved RSS fellow. Editor of RSS News for 20 years and recipient of our Chambers Medal, he will be greatly missed. rss.org.uk/news-publicati…

Any statisticians who fancy getting more involved in public outreach…you have until Monday to apply for the next cohort of the @RoyalStatSoc Ambassadors!

Fun fact about me…I’m a lifelong @WTrinityRL fan and a former cheerleader. I’m the baby face in the glasses bottom left. Me and my dad used to travel the north watching them every weekend but this is the first time they’ve been to Wembley in my lifetime! Come on the Trin!

@JamesBlunt Nothing wrong with statisticians!

Says the chartered accountant and closet statistician.

I’m Liverpool bound to do some filming with @BBCNWT today, discussing data literacy and why it’s so important that we teach it to all children in schools

Proper Cornish cream tea on holiday. Managed to convince the husband that it’s jam first…

Do you like butter…

2/2 This act of kindness meant so much to my friend so had to get myself one. Bonus is that they are also absolutely fab! If you can spare the money, it’s such a thoughtful initiative to help out scampanddude.com/collections/ch…

1/2 Recently came across @ScampandDude through a friend who is going through chemotherapy for breast cancer. They sell superhero scarves and for every one you buy, they donate another to a woman with cancer or the mother of a child with cancer…

Our Future Leaders programme, funded by the @AcadSocSciences, has kicked off with a meet-and-greet in London It was inspiring to discuss how we can work together to amplify diversity and inclusion in statistics and data science 📢 ow.ly/nml550RFqms

@TimandraHarknes Very much looking forward to this!

What to wear to one’s own book launch?

Joining the #AuroraBorealis bandwagon and sharing our photos from the stunning display last night! #AuroraBoreal

"Just because you don't know everything doesn't mean you don't know anything" - @d_spiegel in his interview with Sam Knowles. Researchers need to be "confidently uncertain", proclaiming their uncertainty to give people the full picture #EvidenceKnowHow #MakingSenseofUncertainty

Huge congratulations to all the recipients!

It was my maths teacher at @TrinityAcademyC who convinced me to take it as an A-level and without her, who knows where I would be today!

Here’s an interview I did with them where I talk about my journey into data, what I love about working with data, and how all children should learn some data literacy as we continue to become a data generation! bbc.co.uk/teach/microbit…

I’ve teamed up with the BBC @microbit_edu and the @ONS to be an ambassador for their playground survey - a UK-wide exploration of the place school children visit nearly every day, providing a practical understanding of the value of data and how data is used in today's world.
