mini-symposium-2: 1
Effective communication strategies for biostatisticians to establish and sustain successful collaboration Associate Professor, University of Melbourne Effective communication with collaborators is critical for a successful career in biostatistics. Although an essential skill, communication is rarely emphasised in university training for statisticians. Where offered, communication courses typically focus on written or oral presentation skills. While useful, these courses overlook effective strategies for day-to-day communication required by statisticians. In this presentation, I will discuss essential communication skills biostatisticians need and provide tips and examples of how I use these skills in my own work. I will describe how to establish collaborator trust, how to guide communication pathways, and how to value the experience you bring to a collaboration. mini-symposium-2: 2
Workshop Session - In another change from previous years, this year’s ECB Day will also include an interactive, workshop-style session in which all participants will be able to get involved in discussions about the challenges faced by statisticians and conducting biostatistical research. For this, we will be using The Dilemma Game app, developed by Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), where we pose questions and scenarios relating to professionalism and integrity in research for discussion. You can learn more about The Dilemma Game here: https://www.eur.nl/en/about-university/policy-and-regulations/integrity/research-integrity/dilemma-game We recommend that all ECB day attendees download the app prior to attending the mini-symposium. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dilemma-game/id1494087665 | ||
