Reporters: covering more science and not sure how to navigate the data and stats? Register for our free crash course, "Stats essentials for math-averse reporters," happening Jan. 29 (2-3 p.m. ET) and feel less stressed about numbers. Tori Espensen and Emily Mueller—Ph.D. scientists and trained science communicators—will lead a 45-minute presentation and 15-minutes of open Q&A that will help you: * Understand statistical concepts such as risk and odds, correlation strength, absolute and relative numbers, and statistical significance and how to use them in your reporting; * Explain to your audience how much uncertainty exists around a given finding and how to judge the strength and importance of that finding; * Recognize statistical red flags that should prompt deeper questions about a study or dataset; and Include numbers and data in your reporting in ways that are accessible, clear, and meaningful to readers/listeners/viewers.

For the data nerds out there, and those who have benefited from publicly available datasets in the past, this project by Jeremy Singer-Vine is a way to give back. Think of it as your tithe in support of those fickle data gods. I just signed up myself. As he puts it, it is an "initiative to identify, obtain, reformat, clean, document, publish, and disseminate government datasets of public interest." While you're at it, check out and maybe subscribe to his weekly newsletter Data Is Plural, which highlights "useful/curious datasets." There is a ton of good stuff there that could be used for theses, dissertations, research, visualizations, and more. https://lnkd.in/grza6_Sf https://lnkd.in/gA48k2Kj
