Tremendous Success? We think so too!
The October Amstat News has their recap of the the 2018 JSM in Vancouver. Their verdict -- It was Tremendous Success! We agree. Please enjoy these photos that we caught.
Sights of Vancouver
What a beautiful city! While the temperatures felt quite normal for a summer day for many folks in the US, it was apparently a heat wave for folks on the northern Pacific coast.
TSHS Talks
There were many great talks sponsored, or co-sponsored, by TSHS. If there was a presentation from TSHS that you missed or want to see again, check our website. Many of the slide decks are posted there for TSHS members. * Need help finding it on the website? Detailed instructions are at the end of the post below *
TSHS Posters
Posters are a great way to get some good one-on-one discussion about your project. Not sure you want to give a talk in 2019? Consider presenting a poster.
Mixer and Business Meeting
The business meeting gives the executive committee a chance to check in with the TSHS members -- it's a good time to share news, budgets, awards, and of course prizes! It's always a good time with good food and conversation.
Executive Committee Meeting
The TSHS Executive Committee meets monthly by phone, but at JSM they take the opportunity to meet in person. Minutes will be shared in the fall report from the Secretary/Treasurer.
TSHS Information Booth
This year again, the TSHS information booth was neighboring the Section on Statistics Education information booth. It was a great way to meet folks teaching all kinds of learners.
Not caught on film
Somehow no photos were taken of the continuing education course on meta-analysis or of the round tables. And, of course, there were plenty of other opportunities for folks in TSHS to gather and chat.

Details for finding TSHS slides online
JSM attendees can access all slide decks from speakers who gave their permission to share.
