Workshops in Biostatistics (BIODS/STATS 260)
Open to enrolled students and all members of the Stanford community.
Receiving Credit for Attending a Workshop Seminar
Students who wish to receive two credits must write an essay summarizing one of the seminars and discussing it critically in the context of the background readings.
Suggestions and self-nominations for seminar speakers and topics are welcome.
The Workshop is held from 2:30-3:50pm.
Spring 2021 workshops will be held remotely via Zoom. Contact Katie Kanagawa (kkanagaw@stanford.edu) for Zoom dial-in details.
