The CSSS seminar series
The CSSS seminar series is centered around intellectual exchange and
interaction, and the audience is encouraged to ask questions during
presentations. The goal is a seminar that looks less like a lecture and more
like a spirited discussion of issues raised in a relatively brief
presentation of a statistical issue or a research project.
All seminars will be held at 12:30 on Wednesdays in Savery 409 unless otherwise
noted, and we will aim to conclude by 1:30. Coffee and treats will be provided
after the seminar; attendees are also welcome to bring their lunch.
For information or questions about the CSSS Seminars, please contact our CSSS Seminar Director,
Brian Flaherty.
