    Posted 3 hours ago

    Hi, all.

    A few courses that may be of interest!

    1. Quick-thinking, Confident, Communicative, and Collaborative: Fundamentals of Applied Improvisation for (Bio)statisticians and Data Scientists, Monday, August 3 from 08:30 - 12:50. You'll learn and practice
      1. Active listening: picking up on the key details and needs communicated by others
      2. Storytelling: taking complex ideas and forming them into a narrative that is more relatable and memorable to the listener
      3. Simplifying the message: distilling lengthy and complex ideas down to the basics, drawing parallels with topics of greater familiarity to the listener
      4. Justifying choices: providing the rationale for steps taken and inviting others into the thought process of decisions
      5. Persuading others: recognizing that others have differing motivations to the shared work and what may define a successful outcome
      6. Being specific: providing the necessary details to reduce or eliminate ambiguity
      7. Navigating status: understanding the relationships of others in order to build meaningful connections, and developing an awareness for the importance of presence in group settings
      8. Appreciating non-verbal communication: comprehending the excessive amount of communication that occurs through body language, facial expressions, and eye contact, all of which can impact whether a pitch or presentation lands with an audience
      9. Collaborating: developing an openness to listen and a willingness to support the ideas of others, critical for identifying innovative solutions to complex problems
      10. Developing confidence: becoming more comfortable with the uncomfortable and recognizing that the unexpected can often be addressed successfully, though perhaps not perfectly
    2. Creating Effective Visualizations for Life Science Applications Using JMP Graph Builder, Wednesday, August 5 from 08:30 - 10:15.It is a known fact that data visualization is the key to the effective and efficient interpretation and communication of data, but it often sees limited use in practice, viewed as too difficult and time-consuming to produce. It's time to end that story, and start a new one where data visualization becomes the standard for the communication of data!
