The 2023/24 lecture
During 2023/24 the TST lecture was given by Jim Ridgway and titled Statistics vs the Apocalypse: Addressing real world questions in teaching. It is with great sadness that we recently learned that Jim had passed away. The Trust sends its deepest condolences to all Jim’s family and friends.
