The YSS are aware that, due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, many are having to self-isolate or work from home. This could result in many young statisticians feeling isolated or lonely. We have put together the YSS Lunch Club to try to help!
The YSS Lunch Club will consist of online meetings which run from 12:00 (GMT) on Wednesday lunch times for half an hour. Meetings will alternate between discussions of a range of statistical and professional development topics and a pub quiz, both in an informal setting with plenty of time to chat.
Links for upcoming YSS Lunch Clubs are below.
If you have any suggestions for light-hearted topics that we could discuss during our meetings then please send us an email: statsyss@gmail.com.

Wednesday 18th March: Bad Graphs
As statisticians we can spend a lot of time editing and adjusting our graphs to make them perfect, but we rarely get to spend any time admiring the bad graphs!
Join us for our first #YSSLunchClub, during which we will admire, ponder, discuss, and pontificate an array of imperfect, careless, and downright gruesome graphs.
