Susan S. Ellenberg:  Florence N. David Award

Susan S. Ellenberg, Penn professor of biostatistics, medical ethics and health policy, received the 2019 Florence N. David Award from the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies, which includes the American Statistical Association, the Eastern North American Region International Biometric Society, the Western North American Region of the International Biometric Society, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and the Statistical Society of Canada. Named after Florence Nightingale David, an accomplished statistician and the first recipient of the Elizabeth L. Scott Award, this honor is given each year to a female statistician who serves as a role model to other women by her contributions to the profession through excellence in research, leadership of multidisciplinary collaborative groups, statistics education, or service to the professional societies. As part of this recognition, Dr. Ellenberg delivered the FN David Lecture at the Joint Statistical Meetings in Denver.
