Overview:
Effective communication is a critical skill that everyone acknowledges as important, yet it is often missing from formal curricula in Statistics and Data Science. In this panel, designed for new researchers working or planning to work in collaborative research environments, experts will share their experiences and insights on why strong communication is essential for success. Panelists will discuss best practices, exchange ideas with each other, and engage with the audience through a Q&A session.
Attendees will gain valuable tips and strategies for improving their communication skills, whether it’s with collaborators, interdisciplinary teams, or stakeholders. This is a unique opportunity for early-career researchers to learn how to communicate their ideas clearly and effectively in a range of collaborative settings, setting the stage for more impactful and successful research.
