This award winning virtually delivered course is intended to provide a strong foundation in practical statistics and data analysis using the R software environment. The underlying philosophy of the course is to treat statistics as a practical skill rather than as a theoretical subject and as such the course focuses on methods for addressing real-life issues in the biological sciences. There are three core goals for this course:
R is an open source programming language so all of the software we will use in the course is free. In this course, we explore classical statistical analysis techniques starting with simple hypothesis testing and building up to linear models and power analyses. The focus of the course is on practical implementation of these techniques and developing robust statistical analysis skills rather than on the underlying statistical theory. After the course you should feel confident to be able to select and implement common statistical techniques using R and moreover know when, and when not, to apply these techniques.

To flourish, higher education institutions need to ensure that educational and work environments are high functioning, diverse, tolerant and respectful. The occurrence of bullying, harassment or sexual misconduct within an institution, even at a low-level, not only harms individuals, it can undermine the entire ethos and values of the institution. In addition to presenting reputational and legal risks, it can damage relationships and create low-morale, leading to under-performance and a reduction in time spent on the principle work of the institution, whether research-related or otherwise. In line with the Dignity at Work policy, Taking the Lead focuses on the practical measures, knowledge and skills needed by senior leaders to create an environment free of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct. It provides techniques to build confidence to address often difficult and complex situations at the earliest stage possible. The session will also include time to consider a range of case studies faced by heads of institutions, and potential options for resolving with the best possible outcomes for all. |

Would you like to lead tough conversations with confidence, credibility and ease? Do you know that navigating the minefield of high-stakes situations skilfully can transform your work and life for good? Conflicts are an inescapable part of life. They are a make-or-break factor in relationships, a workplace ecosystem and in supporting (or limiting) career success. Learning how to resolve disagreements in effective, productive ways is a must for any serious professional. Unfortunately, many talented research practitioners make the mistake of repeating performance-limiting reactive patterns based on avoidance or attack. By attending this training, you can equip yourself with the vital clarity, confidence and skills to succeed.
This single critical skill can unlock lifelong benefits, including:
Join us for an invaluable opportunity to take your career and life to the next level. Packed with evidence-backed insights and user-friendly skills, this interactive, experiential workshop will be a safe, supportive and welcoming atmosphere for inter-professional dialogue and peer-learning. You will learn simple, actionable approaches that will enable you to enhance productive outcomes of conflict while reducing the likelihood of escalation or harm. Understanding your conflict style and knowing which approaches work in each scenario will give you a critical edge. Step out of your habitual reactions into a whole new world where you expand your understanding and make refreshing new discoveries about what is possible for yourself and others. NOTE: All activities are entirely voluntary and no one will feel pressured to participate in any of the exercises. |

This project begins from the premise that ‘transparency’ is not clear at all. Transparency is a historically mediated, culturally constructed, and ideologically complex concept. Understood expansively, transparency is enmeshed with a variety of functions and associations, having been mobilised as a political call to action; a design methodology; a radical practice of digital disruption; an ideological tool of surveillance; a corporate strategy of diversion; an aesthetics of obfuscation; a cultural paradigm; a programming protocol; a celebration of Enlightenment rationality; a tactic for spatialising data; an antidote to computational black boxing; an ethical cliché; and more. Across two workshops, we will explore the multidimensionality and intractability of transparency by questioning how the demand for more of it—in our algorithms, computational systems, and digital culture more broadly—encodes assumptions about the liberational capacity of making unseen things visible. Understood expansively, ‘transparency’ can be a political call to action; a design methodology; a radical practice of digital disruption; an ideological tool of surveillance and capture; a corporate strategy of obfuscation and diversion; an aesthetics of failure; a cultural paradigm; a programming protocol; a celebration of Enlightenment rationality; a tactic for spatialising data; an antidote to computational black boxing; an ethical cliché; and more. Across two workshops, we will explore the multidimensionality and intractability of transparency and investigate how the demand for more of it—in our algorithms, computational systems, and digital culture—encodes assumptions about the liberational capacity of restoring representation to the invisible. As a group, we will discuss transparency’s historical lineage; question its limits as an ethical imperative, and map its strategies of anti/mediation. Drawing on a combination of artworks, historical texts, cultural references, and theory, this project will give participants an opportunity to attend to transparency’s complex configurations within contemporary culture. This project is designed to facilitate collaborative study; foster inter-disciplinary discourse; promote experimental learning, and develop a more theoretically nuanced and historically grounded starting point critiquing transparency and its operations within digital culture. |
