Elections and the law of large numbers

I know most people have been caught up in the minor and irrelevant issue of the US presidential election \(-\) what really mattered in the past couple of weeks was another, much more important election: the ISBA Section on Biostatistics and Pharmaceutical Statistics was renewing many of its officers!

In recent times, I have always been on the losing side of an election (both in Italy and in the UK \(-\) although, despite paying my taxes here, I am not allowed to vote in the general elections \(-\) and it seemed anywhere there was an election, really…).

Finally, this time around, the spell was broken and I was elected Programme Chair of the section. I have been working in the section for the past two years as secretary, so it’ll be nice to continue this process and link even more all the Bayesian activities I’m involved in!
