Why Is Kevin McConway Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Kevin McConway is emeritus professor of applied statistics at the Open University, where he spent most of his career. He was the first Vice President of the Royal Statistical Society, from 2012-2016. He was academic adviser to the BBC Radio Four programme More or Less and has written about that experience. He is currently a trustee and advisory board member of the Science Media Centre and has written about experience communicating statistics with the media, and this is developed as general guidance, and to statisticians specifically - "remember to sound human".
