It’s Day 2 of the 65th World Statistics Congress, and ASA Executive Director Ron Wasserstein’s latest report captures the energy and global spirit of this premier gathering of statisticians and data scientists.

Highlights so far include the plenary honoring Grace Wahba, recipient of the 2025 International Prize in Statistics, with reflections from former students Ming Yuan and Yoonkyung Lee. He catches up with friends Alexandra Schmidt and former International Statistical Institute President and “Stats + Stories” cohost John Bailer, who shares his takeaways on the International Statistical Literacy Project session.

Ron reflects on the incredible array of work and collaboration that shows what statisticians do to improve our world. Watch his video to hear more from him and his colleagues, and stay tuned for more updates from The Hague!
