Abstract:
|
This talk details our recent experiences in conducting a workshop in "Communicating Statistics to the Uninitiated" at the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The talk will briefly discuss the material covered at the talk, the audience participation in the workshop, and perhaps most importantly the audience feedback. In addition some ideas to improve for future workshops on this topic will be presented.
