Our department hosts weekly seminars throughout the academic year that feature biostatisticians from around the world. These are regularly attended by faculty, staff, and students, as well as members of the wider community; when feasible, individual and small-group meetings with the speaker and faculty-led discussions also foster the exchange of ideas and insights cultivated by this series. See our Seminars page for details about previous presentations. Upcoming presentations will be posted soon.
To be added to the seminar mailing list, contact the department. For access to specific upcoming seminars, contact series administrator Cierra Streeter.
