If you are a graduate student involved in research that engages with the community, or if you have a strong interest in improving your community, you may find this tactical urbanism workshop appealing. The workshop aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of tactical urbanism by discussing its concept and presenting examples from international and Canadian contexts.
Join us for an information session on Tuesday, January 30 from 1:30 to 2:15 pm to learn more about the ALT-2040 Fund. Get important information and tips to prepare your […]
The Centre for Scholarly Communication (CSC) will be hosting weekly drop-ins to help answer your questions and guide your research.
This series introduces early-career researchers to statistical models that extend beyond linear models (i.e., ANOVAs) so that they may learn how to *fit models to their data rather than fitting their data to models*.
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 series will use R and Python to help develop an intuition for fundamental statistical concepts using data visualization. These workshops are equally suitable to those hoping to enhance their ability to interpret common statistical tests and concepts as it is for those applying statistical modelling to their work.
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.
Learn about the 3MT competition and presentation techniques needed to be successful in the competition.

At the end of this workshop, you will have an understanding of the different steps that lead to the development of clinical practice guidelines, and will be able to perform data extraction, meta-analysis, and to assess the quality of the evidence.

Join us for a session of lightning talks from creators of Indigenous Open Educational Resources
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.
Are you a researcher who wants to publish your work in a journal or book? Do you know how to negotiate the best terms and conditions for your publication? Do you understand your rights and responsibilities as an author? If not, this workshop is for you!
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.
