Talk and Poster at the 2018 Research Students' Conference

This was during the extended heatwave, so the weather was fantastic (sometimes a bit hot to be inside!), and there were lots of great talks and posters on display. The full title of the conference is the Research Students' Conference in Probability and Statistics, and as you might expect, the Royal Statistical Society (and particularly the Young Statisticians Section ) featured prominently. There was some twitter activity too, see @RSC_2019 (they updated their name after the conference...) and #RSC_2018 for more details. This conference came when I was about half-way through my PhD (it started in January 2017), so it was an opportunity to showcase some initial results.
