Abstract:
|
Women in statistics have an important role to play in interdisciplinary research. However, to be successful in interdisciplinary research, we need to understand the scope and potential of interdisciplinary research; how women can play an important role; and highlight necessary competencies and skills that are necessary to be successful in inter-disciplinary research and large group settings. Anecdotal evidence suggests that women may be reluctant to take credit for what they do; in addition, there may be implicit biases or stereotypes that could hurt the position of women in large-group settings. By adopting best practices for success, women can be empowered to advance into critical leadership roles in inter-disciplinary research. In this invited panel, while sharing their own experiences, the panelists will illustrate the opportunities, challenges and competencies associated with inter-disciplinary research involving statistics.
