Each semester the RTG program will host a luncheon for women trainees with a faculty role model, from within or outside UNC, to share and discuss unique challenges, experiences, and opportunities for women in STEM. This semester the luncheon will be held on Mar 19th from 12:30pm to 1:45pm at Carolina Union Rooms 3206AB. We will have Dr. Amy Herring from Duke University as the faculty role model joining the lunch. Dr. Herring is Sara & Charles Ayres Distinguished Professor of Statistical Science, Global Health, and Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Duke University. She received her doctorate in biostatistics at Harvard University and came to Duke from UNC-Chapel Hill, where she was distinguished professor of biostatistics. Her research interests include development of statistical methodology for longitudinal or clustered data, Bayesian methods, latent class and latent variable models, missing data, complex environmental mixtures, and applications of statistics in population health and medicine. She has received numerous awards for her work, including the Mortimer Spiegelman Award from the American Public Health Association as the best applied public health statistician under age 40. Her research program is funded by NIH, and she holds leadership positions at the national and international level, including as Chair of the American Statistical Association’s Section on Bayesian Statistical Science, as President of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis, and as a member of the Board of the International Biometric Society.
