PhD students at @STORiCDT worked on a 'data dive' to support @BritishRedCross Health and Care Services to better understand whether services are reaching the people who most need their support, gain insight of health systems and develop plans for targeting services

STOR-i PhD students from the area of extreme value theory joined @SAMBa_CDT for #ITT20 last week and had the pleasure to collaborate on the problems of modelling tropical cyclones and wildfires set by @BeZeroCarbon.

Thank you to @RohrbeckC for the invitation!

Simply amazing work by our #PhD student groups working on @BritishRedCross problems over the last few days. Great knowledge sharing between the #CRT & @STORiCDT.

Well done everyone 👏👏👏

Dr Jake Clarkson, a Senior Statistician at National Highways @NationalHways walks us through going from a #PhD (with @STORiCDT) to a postdoc to working in industry.

A relatable alumni talk for our students thinking about life post PhD.

Louise Lloyd, Head of #Data #Science at Tesco Mobile discussing her fascinating data science career.

Key take away from Louise’s talk “diverse collaboration is powerful”.

A fantastic opening to our Data on the Shire week with Prof @Deborah_Ashby, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine @imperialcollege talking career, how to say no, & all things clinic trials.

What a powerful speaker for our PhD students to hear from.

Thank you Deborah!

It's a rainy morning here today in Lancaster and the last Monday before the Easter break. So, we thought we would share some of the heart-warming notes our students wrote back in February (on Valentines Day) for that extra boost of motivation to see us through 🌧️💘
