WSS Members Serve as Expert Judges on Science Fair Circuit

摘要

During the peak of the spring semester, members of the Washington Statistical Society (WSS) served as expert judges for five regional science fairs that occur in the Washington, DC, area. The WSS annually participates in these regional science fairs as part of its quantitative literacy and community service programs. WSS representatives also promoted the Curtis Jacobs Award for Outstanding Statistics Project. The award was established in 1991 to honor the memory of Jacobs, who served as a chief statistician at the Bureau of Labor Statistics on many major federal economic statistics programs, including the Consumer Price Index.
