Professor Bruce Weir elected as Fellow of Royal Society

In early May we received the fantastic news that fellow New Zealander Professor Bruce Weir, who is an Honorary Professor at the University of Auckland as well as a Professor of Statistical Genetics at the University of Washington, has been elected to the prestigious position of Fellow of the Royal Society.

Our NZSA colleague, Dr Harold Henderson, sent members a link to a feature article in Stuff which we thought StatsChat readers may enjoy.
