Past Scientific Lunches

Thursday, May 30, 2024

As part of the 55th Journées de Statistique, the Jeunes Statisticien·ne·s group of the SFdS is organizing two simultaneous scientific lunches on Thursday, May 30, 2024, during the lunch hour:

• Young PhD Students — Everything We Wish We Had Known at the Start of a PhD
  The goal of this lunch is to present essential tools and information to help conduct a PhD in the best possible conditions.
  Target audience: young PhD students (1st - 2nd year) and pre-PhD interns.
  
• “You Don’t Do Math, Do You?” — Impromptu Science Communication, How to Talk About What I Do?
  “So, what exactly do you research? Statistics like percentages? Aren’t you afraid of being replaced by AI? Congrats on your article, by the way, that must bring in some cash!” This lunch offers a playful format to explore the sometimes naïve questions we get from those around us and how we can respond.
