Abstract

In this workshop, we will convene a panel of statisticians and biologists to talk about how statistics is taught in biology courses, goals, objectives, assessments, and opportunities for innovation. A key focus will be on how to better communicate across disciplines about course goals, identify synergies and create on-campus conversations with non-statisticians teaching statistical content in a variety of natural and social science disciplines. Ample time will be spent with panelists responding to and discussing participants questions.
