Dear Colleagues,
Happy New Year!
Please help share within your network of STEM educators who would like to incorporate
Bayesian thinking and methods in their own disciplinary courses.
Thank you!
Best,
Monika

BATS is a three-tiered program geared at STEM educators who would like to incorporate
Bayesian thinking and methods into their own disciplinary courses. Funded by the National
Science Foundation, up to 20 attendees, who will be US citizens and permanent residents
from diverse scholarly
backgrounds<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A…
and educational environments, will spend July 10-14, 2023 at the University of California
Irvine in an instructor-training bootcamp. In the second tier of the program, roughly 10
attendees will spend Fall 2023 developing teaching and learning materials for their
courses with the support of the BATS PIs, and in the third tier, selected instructors will
receive support to disseminate their teaching and learning materials through conferences
and publications. Prior exposure to Bayesian statistical methods is not assumed.
Program objectives include increasing the number of undergraduate students exposed to
Bayesian methods, enhancing the capacity of STEM instructors to include Bayesian materials
in their teaching, and development of teaching and learning materials that showcase use of
Bayesian methods in STEM. More details can be found at the BATS
website<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%…amp;reserved=0>.
We welcome STEM faculty members of all career stages who have interest in incorporating
Bayesian methods in their classes at all undergraduate levels. Instructors at minority
serving institutions are particularly encouraged to apply. Due to funding restrictions,
only US citizens and permanent residents are eligible.
Interested applicants are asked to complete a short Qualtrics survey describing their
educational background and interests. Applications are due February 15, 2023.
Questions can be directed to Dr. Mine Dogucu at

Very best,
The BATS PI Team
