Making science more reproducible has the potential to advance scientific research and make researchers' work more effective and productive. This is particularly true for computational and data-intensive research. This hands-on workshop will teach a number of tools, resources, and practices that can be used today to make statistical analysis and data science more reproducible.
The workshop is organized in three parts: Introduction to Reproducible Research, Organizing your project to facilitate Reproducible Research, and Version Control. The course is aimed at researchers and professionals at all levels. The workshop will focus on R for illustrating the key concepts. Advanced knowledge of R is not needed, but some familiarity with R or another scripting language may make the workshop more accessible.

SC2 - Effective Presentations for Statisticians: Success=(PD)2
Fill out evaluation
Short Course (half day)
Instructor(s): Jennifer H. Van Mullekom, Virginia Tech
Public speaking is the number one fear in America, yet being able to do so is absolutely critical for success in business settings. Statisticians must be able to effectively convey their ideas to clients, collaborators, and decision-makers. Presenting in the modern world is even more daunting when speakers have the opportunity to employ slideware, videos, and live demos. Unfortunately, university coursework and professional development programs are often not targeted towards sharpening these skills. This short course, developed and taught by statisticians, will provide an opportunity to learn how to employ different methods and tools.
