School of Demography Masterclass presented by A/Prof Alice Richardson (Director, Statistical Consulting Unit, ANU)

At this Masterclass on Statistical Writing, participants will be introduced to the characteristics of the English language that cause the most problems for researchers writing a Methods section. We’ll explore strategies to overcome these problems, and look at examples of good practice. Participants are encourage to submit a short piece of statistical writing for discussion in a supportive masterclass atmosphere.

During that time she also collaborated on quantitative research projects in every Faculty of the University. In 2016 she took up a position as biostatistician at the National Centre for Epidemiology & Population Health at the ANU. From October 2019 Alice took up the role of Director of the Statistical Consulting Unit at ANU.
