"Ten Simple Rules of Reproducibility" Marianne Huebner, Professor of Epidemiology and Statistics & Director CSTAT, Michigan State Univ. Dr. Marianne Huebner, professor of Statistics and Probability, and director of CSTAT, Center for Statistical Training and Consulting at Michigan State University will be the presenter for this special workshop. Reproducibility in biomedical research has been highlighted as an important issue to be addressed at the national level. In her seminar geared towards our scholars, she will discuss the ten “rules:” 1. Have a plan, 2. Manage researcher’s degrees of freedom, 3. It takes time, 4. Context matters: metadata, 5. Ensure data quality throughout the project, 6. Understand your data, 7. Make your analysis reproducible, 8. Write a report, 9. Keep version controls, and 10. Practice Open Science. There will be time for questions and answers. Join us for this seminar to increase reproducibility of your research, avoid costly errors and headaches!

"ARRIVE Guidelines" ANNETTE O'CONNOR, PROFESSOR OF EPIDEMIOLOGY AND CHAIR OF LARGE ANIMAL CLINICAL SCIENCES, MICHIGAN STATE UNIV. Dr. Annette O’Connor, professor of Epidemiology and chair, Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at Michigan State University present this seminar on ARRIVE guidelines. These guidelines were developed to ensure that publications contain sufficient detail to ensure reproducibility and interpretation of data. Many journals now expect verification of adherence to ARRIVE guidelines. With our scholars in mind, Dr. O’Connor will review the guidelines and the ARRIVE checklist to help with making the conduct and the reporting of research on animals as clear, easy and reliable as can be! Awareness of these guidelines will allow the design and conduct of reliable experiments and facilitate publications. To attend, please register for free at: https://msu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BSAoPw6MQ2m7HWLT66lt_Q |

June 7, 9, and 10 from 4:00-6:00 pm EDT |
June 7, 9, or 10 from 4:00-6:00 pm EDT each day. Rethinking Science Communication - “Making Your Science Accessible” If very few people understand your research activity or accomplishment, then what is the impact, what have you truly achieved? Through interactive sessions moderated by Articulation Incorporated, we will help you learn to share the impact of your work through communication strategies that transcend disciplinary thinking, allowing you to reach the broadest possible audience. The session will help you develop a story-telling approach that may include use of metaphors as a means of stimulating not just understanding, but interest in your work – the “what, why and how”, regardless of your audience’s background. You may register for one of three sessions - open to both faculty and students. Each session is limited to 100 individuals so that we can employ the interactive format. Depending on interest and availability, we will modify number of faculty per institution, and may consider additional future sessions. Support for this opportunity is provided by an NIH R13 grant under the direction of Dr. Vilma Yuzbasiyan-Gurkan. Register now! An email with the zoom information will be sent to registrants. Questions can be sent to Michele Morscher ([email protected]). Please click on the following link to register: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050C4FACA62DA6F85-making |
