Title: The Bayesian Paradigm for Statistical Inference and Decision Making.

Abstract: In this expository talk, open to a general audience, I outline the essence of the Bayesian paradigm for inference and decision making. After an overview of the subjective nature of probability, I discuss the notion of a likelihood, and the genesis of a probability model. The material here is standard, but the perspective is not. It will be illustrated by some simple examples.
