Enabling statisticians to lead through innovation and excellence - sponsored by PSI
Have you ever considered to work with a placement student?
Do you consider to spend some time as a placement student yourself?
In this interview with Katie Thorn and Claire Brittain, we’re exploring factors, which help to make it a win for both sides. Both have worked very well together and share their stories. We step into questions such as:
[Read more…] about How to work effectively as and with a placement student – a success story with Katie and ClaireI recently talked to a statistician, that initiated a small company internal group of statisticians to drive forward methodological innovation projects. While this surely will help the individuals to learn more about statistical methods, it was less clear, why and on which topics the group should focus their activities on.
While most of our day-to-day activities consists of running clinical studies, submissions and directly related work, we also engage in such innovation work streams or process improvement working groups and other such activities.
Today, we’re giving you advice on how to best pick the right projects to work on as you usually have some influence on this.
Specifically we cover the following questions, you should ask yourself first:

In this episode, I’m chatting with Kate Taylor – the chair of the PSI conference 2019 in London- about how to get most out of a conference. Of course, we take the upcoming PSI conference as an example.
In this episode, we talk about
[Read more…] about How to get most out of a conferenceThere’s a long tradition of statisticians working on clinical studies as well as other related data, e.g. pre-clinical data and observational data. In the advent of big data and data sciences, there’s a considerable pull from the business side of pharma to employ statistical approaches as well.
This leads to questions like:
[Read more…] about Data science or just statistics on non-medical data? A new horizon for statisticiansIt’s surely not the norm, that a statistician from the pharma sector ends up working for BBC. But Robert Cuffe has taken this step and needs to explain statistics to non-statisticians on a daily basis.
In this episode, he shares the different methods he’s using. We also dive into common pitfalls, that we as statisticians trap into.
Finally, we also learn, how we can improve our publications to make sure, that the science is reported correctly in the broader news
