How can we teach collaboration in statistics and data science courses? I explain one way in this paper: "Using Team-Based Learning to Teach Data Science" https://t.co/bGdxxF4d78 @TBLearning @JStatEd

How do we develop data acumen within data scientists? Our approach is to teach data science from a humanities perspective: https://t.co/X3T7PI5rNN

Here's a recent paper about lessons learned from @LISA__2020 published in @ChanceStatsMag: https://t.co/mRpER3aErJ
Stat labs should work on projects in the intersection of data production, data analysis, and data decision making.

We're celebrating #LISA2020Day today. It's the first anniversary of achieving our goal of creating a network of at least 20 stat labs in developing countries on 20 October 2020. Last year we had 28 statistics and data science collaboration labs. This year we have 35! @LISA__2020

This was one of several workshops conducted by @LISA__2020 and funded by @IntStat to build the capacity of women in statistics and data science during the #IYWSDS @RLadiesGlobal

[LISA 2020 @LISA__2020]

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between @LISA_CUBoulder and @IntStat to support our mutual interest in building statistics and data science capacity through the @LISA__2020 program! https://t.co/AI46Y4GsTe

My only tweet of #JSM2018 is of these 5 PhD students sharing experiences about running or helping to run their stat labs. They stayed after @ervance's Workshop on Teaching Statistical Collaboration to share best practices.

Two of the finalists in 2013 for original LISA Fellow position meet for the first time in Japan at #ICOTS10. Carla Vivacqua from Brazil and Gen Sarte from the Philippines continuing to do great things for statistics education!

Speaking at @CUBoulder Admitted Students panel on Computing and Data at CU. Great questions from admitted students and their families about what's the right fit. For those wanting a strong background in math and why stat methods work, I recommend the new Stat and Data Science BA.

Exciting statement from @AmstatNews on evaluating statistics faculty excellence
https://t.co/hj2h9sfcAk
Their distinction: "Consulting is an isolated activity geared toward solving a technical statistical issue. Collaboration is a partnership to solve a scientific problem."

[World of Statistics @ASTATWORLD]

Amazing things are happening in the world of statistics. Here's one from from our friends in Ethiopia! https://t.co/Wju1Cqs25J

#AU-LISSDA @LISA__2020 workshop trained researchers in LaTeX to write scholarly articles. Anchor U. VC Prof J.O. Afolayan said: For Nigerian academicians to be globally relevant, we must be ready for rigorous training that will birth quality research of global standard. #StatsToo
