CAUTION: The Sender of this email is not from within Dalhousie. Dear Categorists, this is the final call for participation in the workshop Categorical Probability and Statistics, June 5-8, online. The goal is to provide a platform for exchange of results and ideas between the various communities who pursue categorical approaches to probability and statistics. The talks will be hosted on Zoom and accompanied by discussions in a chat forum. Please register with us by email at tfritz@pitp.ca in order to receive the relevant links. The final schedule of the talks is available at http://perimeterinstitute.ca/personal/tfritz/2019/cps_workshop/schedule.html Our speakers come from a range of backgrounds, including category theory, computer science, statistics, as well as noncommutative and quantum probability: * Malte Gerhold * Bart Jacobs * Hông Vân Lê * Peter McCullagh * Annabelle McIver * Prakash Panangaden * Evan Patterson * Arthur Parzygnat * Paolo Perrone * Eigil Fjeldgren Rischel * Alex Simpson * Robert W.
