    Posted 20 days ago

    Hi everyone

    Instats is excited to offer a 1-day seminar, Support Decisions with Stats and Stories, livestreaming on November 5 and led by John Bailer of Miami University, Barry Nussbaum of the American Statistical Association, and Regina Nuzzo of Gallaudet University, with Mark Otto of the ASA moderating. Solid statistical evidence is indispensable for good policy and organizational choices, yet the people who must act on that evidence are seldom statisticians; this workshop shows you how to translate analytic results into compelling, actionable narratives that resonate with regulators, journalists, scientists, and the public. Drawing on experiences that range from environmental regulation at the U.S. EPA to the award-winning Stat+Stories and Normal Curves podcasts, the instructors will share concrete strategies for framing quantitative findings, selecting the right visuals, and weaving data into stories that motivate clear decisions without sacrificing rigor. Whether you advise government agencies, collaborate with multidisciplinary research teams, or simply want your analyses to have greater impact, this free seminar will equip you with practical communication tools that elevate your statistics from numbers on a page to stories that drive change.

    Sign up today to secure your spot, and feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!

    Best wishes
