Departmental Colloquia (Statistics)
听
The听Statistics Colloquia welcomes speakers to lecture on all subjects in statistics including general statistical theory and methodology, statistical applications, Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, statistical computing, genetic statistics, statistical methods in Molecular Evolution and environmental statistics. It greatly enhances the communication of our faculty members with statistical scientists all over the world, and provides good learning opportunities for our graduate students.
Times are in either Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4; Mid-Fall, Winter) or Atlantic Daylight Time (UTC-3; Spring, Summer, early-Fall)
