We have identified 5 research areas where Canadian statisticians have made (and continue to make) meaningful contributions. We have  invited a researcher from each of these areas to participate in this session. Our invitees include an early career researcher, mid career researchers and some high profile researchers in the spirit of diversity and inclusion.

Statisticians in Canada have made valuable contributions to a diverse array of disciplines. Here we highlight accomplishments in the field of functional data analysis (Jim Ramsay), modelling of extremes (Debbie Dupuis), copulas (Sam Perreault), epidemiologic studies (Charmaine Dean) and environmetrics (Frances Zwiers).
