This workshop equips graduate and upper-level undergraduate students with insights on what to consider before signing a publisher's contract, ensuring seamless integration of these articles into their theses and dissertations.

Learn how to engage meaningfully in community research partnerships, in ways that promote equitable collaboration, trust and communication, and shared decision-making, while navigating challenges like misaligned goals, power imbalances, and inadequate resource allocation.

Do you want to learn how to use copyrighted material in your research, and how to protect your own rights as an author? If so, this workshop is for you!

Whether you're on the path to graduate school, working in academia, or venturing into the academic job market, our online workshop will help you compose a compelling cover letter.

This workshop will introduce linear models (i.e., one-way ANOVAs), their assumptions, and limitations, in a format tailored towards visual and spatial learners.

This session will introduce participants to the foundational concepts of statistical inference, including population distributions and the process of random sampling. Attendees will learn how sampling distributions evolve towards normality as sample sizes increase and will visually explore the Central Limit Theorem.

By the end of the session, participants should be able to visualize and understand population distributions, illustrate random sampling processes, recognize the normalizing effect of larger samples on sampling distributions, and demonstrate the Central Limit Theorem visually.

This workshop will illustrate how to fit linear models in R, diagnose any issues with model assumption violations, and interpret linear model summaries, including model coefficients, degrees of freedom, standard error estimates, t statistics, F statistics, p-values, R2, statistical significance, adjusted R2.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to fit linear models in R and interpret model outputs, including the output of the summary() function in R.

This session will address the visualization of standard deviation (s.d.), standard error of the mean (s.e.m.), and confidence interval (CI) error bars to enhance the understanding of uncertainty in data analysis. The interpretation of error bars for statistical significance will be discussed, along with common misinterpretations to avoid.

By the end of the session, participants should be able to visualize and interpret error bars, understand the implications of their spacing and width, and be cautious of common pitfalls such as misinterpreting non-overlapping error bars as evidence of significance.

This workshop will demystify ANOVAs by framing them in the context of linear models with multiple predictors (i.e., multiple linear regression). The session will also introduce attendees to Directed Acyclical Graphs (DAGs) and demonstrate how to use them to infer causality in one’s model.

By the end of this session participants should be able to fit linear models with more than one predictor, check for collinearity between predictors, and interpret linear models using DAGs.
