Hi all, I thought you'd be interested in a new book club hosted by the American Statistical Association. We've got two different formats of the club. For some months, we are discussing an entire book in one hour! Then in the fall, we will have a book club like the JMP club where we read a book together and discuss chapters over multiple weeks. We are communicating on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/asa-book-club/.
I'll be leading a discussion of Malcolm Gladwell's book Talking to Strangers on June 13 at noon eastern time. I hope you will join me!
