I developed the material for and taught the second day of a 2-day workshop on Statistical Communication and Leadership. This two-day in-person workshop was delivered to an audience of 42 collaborative biostatistician participants at the University of Michigan through the ABS Network. See the ad for more details.
I led focus groups for “collaborator phenotyping” at the ACTStat 2022 Annual Meeting, developing and leading two 1.5-hour sessions with 25 participants. Washington, D.C., August 2022. These findings were later generalized and published here.
