DESCRIPTION:Although seemly disparate\, Statistics and Genetics are two sci
 entific disciplines that grew together from the beginning of the 20th cent
 ury. From Galton and Fisher to Henderson and Hayes there have always been 
 problems\, and most importantly solutions\, tackled by scholars in both ar
 eas. In this talk\, I will introduce some of the historical problems that 
 intersect these sciences. I will also share my own journey in Animal Breed
 ing and my take on what the future could look like.\n\nBio:\n\nA former VU
 W graduate\, I work as an applied geneticist at the Cawthron Institute in 
 Nelson. My research is focused on genomics\, computational methods and the
 ir applications to Animal Breeding and Genetics. After my PhD\, I complete
 d a postdoc at the University of Queensland\, Australia and worked as a sc
 ientist at AgResearch.
