JSM
Organizer(s): Donna LaLonde, American Statistical Association

Join us for the JSM 2021 Virtual Wellness Challenge! This is a fantastic conference activity that takes you away from the screen. It doesn’t matter what time of day or evening you engage in an activity that contributes to your wellness—participation is on your schedule!

Beginning Sunday, August 8, and concluding Thursday, August 12, you and your fellow statisticians and data scientists will have the chance to earn points to win fabulous prizes!

Each day you can earn 1 point for completing an activity, 1 point for completing the specific daily challenge, and 1 point for posting on our padlet and/or on social media. —be sure to use the hashtags #JSM2021 and #StatsVirtualWellness.

Track Your Results

We will use this Google sheet to track results (honor system!). There will be bonus prizes for completing the specific daily challenge. Every participant who earns 10 or more points by the end of the virtual challenge will be eligible for the grand prize drawing!

We will be sure to share the challenge so you have sufficient time to prepare. Check the networking area for updates. Since the theme for JSM 2021 is Statistics, Data, and the Stories They Tell, the Day 1 (August 8) challenge is to share a data story from your wellness activity (e.g., how many minutes it lasted, the distance you went, how long the activity has been part of your wellness routine, etc.).

Daily Challenges:

1. Share a data story from your wellness activity, e.g., how many minutes it lasted, the distance, how long has this activity been a part of your wellness routine, etc.
2. Share a pic or description of a favorite piece of wellness gear.
3. Include the shape of your favorite Greek letter in your wellness activity and tell us about it.
4. Include the approximation for pi (3.14) or tau (6.28 miles) in your routine and tell us how you did it. Convert activity minutes to miles..
5. Include something JSM related in your wellness routine and tell us about it.
