We are proud to announce that Statistics Ph.D. graduate student Erin Lipman was recently awarded a $1,000 scholarship by the ASA Pride Scholarship Committee. Committee members were impressed with her contributions to creating community among LGBTQ+ statisticians, pursuit of research that improves the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals, and potential to affect the statistics field significantly.
“I am constantly looking to further examine how statistics is constructed out of the broader systems that shape our societies. My goal is to make this interest into a legitimate avenue of research alongside my statistical methods research.” - Erin Lipman
