Norwich Actuarial Society Live Streaming: IFoA Spring Lecture - Communicating risk and uncertainty

Norwich Actuarial Society will be streaming the lecture live, which is being held at the British Library.

The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’ Spring Lecture will be delivered by Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter – Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk, and Professor of Biostatistics, at the University of Cambridge. His background is in medical statistics, particularly the use of Bayesian methods in clinical trials, health technology assessment and drug safety. In his post he leads a small team that attempts to improve the way in which the quantitative aspects of risk and uncertainty are discussed in society.  He works closely with the Millennium Mathematics Project in Cambridge in trying to develop an exciting treatment of probability and risk for mathematics education.
