Statistics: Helping you understand our world

It’s that time of year again when students all around the country are figuring out what they’re going to do next year.

Our department has produced a series of posters for careers advisors showing where you can end up working thanks to statistics.  There’s some fascinating stories in there – from astrostatistics to sports statistics, from research wind energy to insurance.
