Webinar today - Statistical Thinking in Undergraduate Biology
Please excuse the short notice, but there is a webinar of potential interest to our members taking place today, Tuesday, March 12th, 2019 from 2:00pm - 2:30pm ET. Details below.
Title: Statistical thinking in undergraduate biology
Presenters: Beth Chance and Nathan Tintle
Abstract: We recently initiated the Statistical Thinking in Undergraduate Biology (STUB) network to facilitate interdisciplinary conversations between statistics and biology educators. A key focus of the network is how to better communicate across disciplines about course goals, identify synergies and create on-campus conversations with biologists teaching statistical content in their courses. In this webinar we’ll share our experiences from the first workshops, assessment activities and curriculum development activities of the network and give some reflections on best practices, opportunities and next steps.
