Biology Departmental Diversity Statement
In the Department of Biology, fostering a welcoming environment for all members of our community regardless of their background and identity stands at the very core of our mission. We value diversity and we are deeply committed to creating a place where people of all identities find confidence in themselves and thrive teaching and learning. We also recognize our responsibility and actively reject behaviors that devalue diversity and inclusion, while maintaining dialogs that represent diverse opinions to further promote a welcoming and inclusive environment in our programs. As biologists, we know that diverse groups and ideas bring a wide array of valuable perspectives, which strengthen our teaching, learning, research, and science communication.
Notes on Communicating With Other Scientists and With Ourselves. (Stevens, Jezkova, and McCarty, 2025.) This collection provides useful advice about reporting statistics and other quantitative data.
Introduction to Statistical Modeling. (Hughes and Fisher 2025). A great online intermediate statistics book. It assumes that students have completed an introductory statistics course.
