Statisticians are really not good at this.

What do we so ... we solve another problem that is not the right one. P-value

A statistician is someone who can

  1. differentiate a function and set it equal to zero.
  2. determine the asymptotical behaviour of a function.

Also, the asymptotics kick in rather quickly.

This is us

Sidde ovre i hjørnet ... gøre grin med de andre ...

Data scientists, computer scientists, bioinformaticians, chemometricians, ...

Dangerous

we are isolating ourselves ... that is a major problem.

Not saying that we are not right ... we should be inclusive

The way to convince others is not to ridicule them but to embrace them and give them the opportunity to learn.

Not police

Data science at all the universities

How do we secure an influx of young people?

It's because I still love you.

And really ... can a statistician analyse things too much?

Hope that DSTS is still going strong at 100
