Department of Biostatistics Weekly Seminar


The department hosts weekly seminars and workshops for persons interested in applied statistics, statistical theory, epidemiology, health services research, clinical trials methodology, statistical computing, statistical graphics, and R. We will send e-mail announcements to those in the pertinent groups defined at SemEmail, depending on the seminar.

LOCATION: For the time being, seminars will be held virtually instead of in our usual lecture hall.
TIME: 1:30-2:30pm on the dates indicated in the calendar below (unless otherwise noted).
