Interview with Deborah Ashby

  • Who is Florence Nightingale, and what is impressive about her?
  • Why would it be interesting to talk about her at the upcoming PSI conference?
  • She’s famous for her visualization. What could statisticians today learn from her about visualization?

Despite her having a weak position in society at the time – being a nurse and a woman– she still was very influential and achieved a lot. Many statisticians feel like they are not part of key decisions and don’t have the impact they could have. What can we learn from her to be more influential?
