Abstract:
|
Statistics is an interdisciplinary field that requires working with subject-matter experts, making collaborative relationships both important and rewarding. In the age of "team science," many of the dynamics between collaborators are changing, and a tension can exist between collaborative and methodological projects. During this roundtable, we hope to discuss such questions as: What do you look for in a collaborator/collaborative project? How does one balance collaborative and methodological projects? Is there a difference between collaboration and consulting? Should one prioritize publishing in statistical or subject-matter journals? We encourage participants across the collaborative spectrum, including those wondering whether a collaborative career is "right" for them.
