Confusing Statistics 5:00pm - 6:00pm EDT, Wednesday, September 15 (10pm-11pm BST)
Christoph Borgers, Professor of Mathematics

The unifying theme is an 18th century discovery called Bayes’ Theorem, which lies at the foundation of the modern approach to understanding and interpreting scientific data.
