Chiara Sabatti, Faculty Director of our longstanding Workshop in Biostatistics Series, attends the 2018 Symposium.
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.
Because the Biostatistics Workshop doubles as a class, the current university response to the pandemic requires us to restrict in-person attendance to Stanford students, faculty and staff. We hope to be able to revise these restrictions soon and welcome back all our biostatistics workshop community.
Suggestions and self-nominations for seminar speakers and topics are welcome.
The Workshop is held from 1:30-3:00pm.
Autumn 2021 workshops will be held in person in MSOB X303. Open event abstract PDF for dial-in option, when available.
