    As part of the "big tent" of data science, we're launching a free LinkedIn Live webinar series aimed at life scientists who want to strengthen their data skills. While the series is designed for scientists at the bench, the material will also be useful for early-career data scientists.

    We know many ASA members collaborate with scientists outside of statistics and data science. If you know colleagues, trainees, or students who might benefit, please consider passing this along.
