I would like to say thank you for her unwavering encouragement, advice, answers, and laughter, and for always making me consider: What would Agrippina do? A thousand more thanks to all the other teachers from whom I have had the honor and joy of learning, at Duke and beyond. I am so grateful for your wisdom and kindness over the years and feel lucky to graduate having been taught by all of you. My research would have been incomplete without the assistance of the special collections libraries and librarians I turned to in the past year. Thank you to the librarians at the Beinecke and Vatican Film Libraries, and of course, to everyone in the Duke Libraries. I could not have done this without you! I should note that I am writing these final pages not in Perkins Library or my campus dormitory, but in self-isolation in my childhood bedroom.

Don’t just carry on doing more of the same • The Trust is not averse to risk (but what about ERG panel members?) • Success rate for short-listing for interview is ~15-25% at Senior Investigator level (3-5 proposals shortlisted from each ERG) • Fewer New Investigator than Senior Investigator applications – an opportunity? • There are fewer applications overall for the second round, but ‘the bar will not be lowered’ The Challenge UoB has roughly 45 existing

We are pleased to provide a forum for more than 300 researchers, policy makers, immunization managers and advocates to come together to share the latest developments and best strategies to reduce the burden of typhoid, paratyphoid and nontyphoidal salmonelloses (NTS) on communities around the world. The conference theme, “From Evidence to Action,” is timely as we prepare for the introduction of new typhoid conjugate vaccines. The research, evidence and ideas shared this week in Kampala will provide the foundation for global action against typhoid, paratyphoid and NTS. Together, we will review crucial developments to reduce the global burden of these diseases, including results from major surveillance projects in Africa and Asia, the potential of human infection models and strategies for countering antibiotic resistance. The program will also highlight outbreak control methods, exciting innovations in diagnostics, water, sanitation and hygiene strategies for prevention, and policy measures aimed at accelerating the implementation of these interventions. The coming availability of a new generation of typhoid conjugate vaccines makes this a pivotal moment for global action on typhoid. These promising new vaccines offer important advantages over prior vaccines, including longer duration of protection, the ability to protect young children, and the potential for administration with other vaccines in routine immunization of infants.

Statistics provides a special kind of understanding that enables well-informed deci- sions. As citizens and consumers we are faced with an array of choices. Statistics can help us to choose well. Our statistical brains need to be nurtured: we can all learn and practise some simple rules of statistical thinking. To understand how statistics can play a bigger part in our lives today we can draw inspiration from the founders of the Royal Statistical Society. Although in today’s world the information landscape is confused, there is an opportunity for statistics that is there to be seized.This calls for us to celebrate the discipline of statistics, to show confidence in our profession, to use statistics in the public interest and to champion statistical education. The Royal Statistical Society has a vital role to play.

Introduction Dictionaries trace the source of the word statistics from the Latin ‘status’, the state, to the Italian ‘statista’, one skilled in statecraft, and on to the German ‘Statistik’, the science dealing with data about the condition of a state or community. The Oxford English Dictionary brings ‘statistics’ into English in 1787. Florence Nightingale held that ‘the thoughts and purpose of the Deity are only to be discovered by the statistical study of natural phenomena:::the application of the results of such study [is] the religious duty of man’ (Pearson, 1924).
