This seminar bridges that gap. Designed specifically for non-statisticians, it provides a clear, practical introduction to biostatistics without overwhelming you with mathematics. You’ll learn the “why” behind the numbers, gain tools to spot meaningful findings, and avoid being misled by misused statistics. By the end of the program, you’ll be able to read statistical reports with confidence, communicate findings to colleagues and stakeholders, and make better data-driven decisions that can shape the future of clinical and biotech innovation. By attending, you will: Develop a clearer understanding of common statistical terms and concepts, Gain practical insight into how and why certain tests are applied, Learn approaches for distinguishing between statistically significant and clinically meaningful results, Improve your ability to follow discussions with statisticians and regulatory professionals.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will focus on advancing mathematical modeling frameworks and theory to address the urgent challenges posed by declining pollinator populations. Insect pollination is vital to terrestrial ecosystems and agriculture, with honeybee pollination in the United States alone valued at over $12 billion annually. Yet, substantial evidence shows that pollinator populations are in sharp decline, with honeybee colony losses reaching unprecedented levels — threatening agricultural sustainability and food security. These declines result from complex interactions among environmental factors (e.g., shifting climate patterns) and biological processes (e.g., exposure to agrochemicals such as insecticides and fungicides, parasitic infections, diseases, and habitat degradation).
