With the growing popularity of using AI, Dr. Abebe
leaves us with a few final tips. #PittHSRseminar
September 25, 2025 at 4:50 PM
Remember, it's never too early to discuss your study with a #biostatistician. Dr. Abebe offers other tips for collaborating as well 👇 #PittHSRseminar
September 25, 2025 at 4:44 PM
Not only do #biostatisticians need to be familiar with the scientific content, but PIs need to have a basic understanding of #biostatistics. #PittHSRseminar
September 25, 2025 at 4:26 PM
#Biostatisticians specialize in varying areas, and if PIs don't recognize the differences in biostatisticians, it could result in confusion, lost time, & bad science. #PittHSRseminar
September 25, 2025 at 4:21 PM
The demand for well-qualified #biostatisticians often exceeds supply in #AcademicMedicine. In fact, it's not uncommon for a biostats Co-I to be collaborating on upwards of 10 projects at a time. #PittHSRseminar
