Interdisciplinarity in Practice and in Research on Society and the Environment: Joint Paths Towards Risk Analysis

In the field of optics, a prism is a transparent object with at least two angled sides that break up white light into its constituent colours(1). In the same way that a single beam of light is in reality made up of different colours, the systems-based approach to risk analysis proposes that risk is likewise composed of different elements. These individual elements in turn are combined into a range of subsets, each associated with a range of different probabilities(2, 3). 

The Section on Risk Analysis of the American Statistical Association invites you to attend a Symposium on Risk Analysis at NC State University May 10th and 11th. This symposium features experts in climate change risk, high throughput toxicity testing, genetic environmental risk, actuarial risk, social media terrorism threat detection, and adversarial risk. The symposium is designed so that the attendees can learn about problems within and outside of their current research areas, and it is geared towards networking and solving problems through small breakout sessions.
