"Statistics at a Crossroads" Report

This report was a result of a project sponsored by the National Science Foundation Award (DMS-1840278, PI: Xuming He, University of Michigan), based on year-long engagements with the broad statistics community through webinars/panel discussions, a workshop and a public input forum to identify and discuss the challenges and opportunities for our profession in the data science era.
