Evidence of Early Triassic members of the family Mixosauridae from the Lower Saurian, Svalbard

Statistics courses typically come in two different flavors: 1) A first type of course seeks deep understanding based on mathematical reasoning and proofs. 2) A second type of course focuses on practical applications, primarily based on fixed recipes without delving into underlying details. 3) I will here propose a third way, which seeks understanding of fundamental concepts, but through programming and simulation instead of mathematical proofs. This third way is thus geared towards students that have a stronger background in programming than mathematics, and that seek to understand the fundamentals as a basis for developing statistical analyses and data science methodology. This third way would also exploit its basis in programming to promote self-driven exploration, drawing inspiration from how computing has been integrated into science education through the long-running CSE initiative. I will provide examples ranging from how to explore the central limit theorem to performing Bayesian marginalization.

Go on exchange to the world's northernmost campus, 78 ° north! As a science student at UiO, you can take courses at the University Center on Svalbard (UNIS) as part of your degree.

Is it difficult to set aside time to write? The Academic Writing Centre arranges joint, structured “Shut Up & Write” sessions.

PhD candidate Johannes C. Rusch at the Department of Biosciences will be defending the thesis "Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring of two different  freshwater host-pathogen complexes in the interface between nature and aquaculture" for the degree of PhD.
