UCSB Faculty Seminar Series: Grow Your Data & Team Science Skills
Seminar Series Overview
Week One: September 11 - 15, 2023
Hosted by the National Center for Ecological Anlysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) and in partnership with UCSB’s Office of Research, this seminar series is a training program where participants engage in synthesis research in a small cohort. It will equip participants with data science and team science tools, and provide them with a platform to conduct collaborative synthesis research. The overall aim is to grow cross-departmental relationships and interdisciplinary research outputs.
NCEAS Expertise
NCEAS, a research affiliate of UCSB, is a leading expert on interdisciplinary data science and works collaboratively to answer the world’s largest and most complex questions. The NCEAS approach leverages existing data and employs a team science philosophy to squeeze out all potential insights and solutions efficiently - this is called synthesis science. NCEAS has over 25 years of success with this model among working groups and environmental professionals.
Week One: Crafting Your Synthesis Research Question
