A major challenge for the statistics discipline in the twenty-first century is to respond positively to the rise of data science in order to maintain the relevance of statistical method (singular) as an integral component of scientific method.

In this talk, I shall offer a personal perspective on this challenge, in the specific context of spatial and spatio-temporal modelling of public health data.
