Location: Café Vergulde Kruik (Haarlemmerstraat 22), Leiden

What?

The famous statistician John Tukey once said that “the best thing about being a statistician is that you get to play in everyone’s backyard” – statistics is inherently and intrinsically linked with almost every other scientific field. In this Statistics Café three statisticians will speak about their experiences of applying their statistical knowledge to another – sometimes quite unexpected – area.

Speakers

• Marjan Sjerps (Professor at University of Amsterdam, affiliated with Netherlands Forensic Institute) | Forensic statistics: “We have a match. Now what?”
• Erik-Jan van Kesteren (Assistant professor at Utrecht University) | Get off my lawn! How to avoid trespassing in multidisciplinary collaboration
• Valentina Masarotto (Assistant professor at Leiden University) | Statistics and sound articulation in Mandarin

For whom?
