________________________________________ General News Bernoulli 50: Collection of Videos and Interviews As part of celebrating and recording our Society's history on the occasion of its Golden Jubilee, the Society curated a collection of several videos over the least year. They include a commemorative video, putting the evolution and role of the Society into historical perspective, and several interviews with Presidents and Scientific Secretaries over the years. You can now access these videos at: https://bernoullisociety.org/bernoulli50. We are grateful to S.-X. Chen, R.D. Gill, P. Jagers, W.S. Kendall, E. Mammen, T. Mikosch, V. Pérez-Abreu, N. Reid, J.L. Teugels, M.E. Vares, and E. Waymire for taking part in this laborious project. 2025 General Assembly and Transfer of the Bernoulli Book In a break with tradition, our next General Assembly –including the transfer of the Bernoulli book– will take place at the SPA 2025 meeting in Wroclaw, Poland (July 14–18, 2025) rather than the ISI World Statistics Congress (October 5–9, 2025). This is due to the ISI WSC being exceptionally moved to autumn instead of its usual timing in the summer, thus not being well-aligned with our own administrative calendar. 12th Bernoulli-IMS World Congress to Take Place in Singapore As was announced at our recent GA, the next Bernoulli-IMS World Congress will take place in Singapore in 2028. Adrian Roellin (NUS, Singapore) will serve as Chair of the LOC. We are thankful to all colleagues at the National University of Singapore for putting forward such a compelling proposal. Please stay tuned for updates! New Appointments We are excited to announce two new appointments. Chiara Amorino (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain) and Yan Shou Tan (NUS, Singapore) have joined Andressa Cerqueira as members of the Bernoulli Young Researchers Committee, succeeding Imma Curato and Zhenhua Lin, respectively. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Imma Curato and Zhenhua Lin for their dedicated service over the past years! Willem van Zwet Medal – Recipient Herold Dehling (Ruhr University Bochum, Germany) is the winner of the 2025 Willem van Zwet Medal, for the excellence of his services to the Society, his leadership in the editorial work and strengthening of the Society's publications, and his special effort and commitment in the organization of flagship events of the Bernoulli Society. More details about this award can be found here. Ethel Newbold Prize – Call for Nominations The Bernoulli Society’s Newbold Prize Committee invites nominations for the 2025 Ethel Newbold Prize.
