[Fabrizio Ruggeri]

ISBIS (International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics) 
is organising a series of webinars on "Leading Women in Business and 
Industrial Statistics" to celebrate the International Year of Women in 
Statistics and Data Science launched in May 2020 by ISI (International 
Statistical Institute). 

Videos of past events are available at 
https://www.isbis-isi.org/webinars.html

The sixth webinar is on May, 21st at 10.00 CEST (9.00 UK) and the
speaker is Prof. Sonali Das, University of Pretoria (South Africa), and
she will talk about

"Why being a female statistician in Africa matters, and more"

In this presentation I share some of my experiences and observations 
being a female statistician from Africa. Weather has a direct and in-direct 
effect on many business decisions. I will share some of my current research 
on understanding weather data from South Africa using functional data 
analysis methods, and how such insights within the ecosystem of 
decision-making may be useful. I will also share some experiences in 
working with non-statisticians.

The webinar is free to attend but registration at

Cordiali saluti
