@raviranjan.bsky.social & I are teaching a free online workshop with on experimental design for environmental scientists on the 23rd.

We'll focus on using simulations to evaluate how well different experimental designs help achieve your goals.

Poster for 90 minute workshop on HOW TO DESIGN BETTER EXPERIMENTS, by Mridul Thomas & Ravi Ranjan. Details: September 23rd 16:00 CEST ; 14:00 UTC Description: Experimental designs can make or break an experiment. A good experiment has a clear goal and efficiently uses experimental resources to achieve that goal. In this workshop, we will review what experiments are for, basic and advanced principles of designing experiments, and how to use simulations to evaluate designs before actually doing the experiment. We’ll do a moderate amount of coding in R and so experience with this would be helpful but is not required. We intend to have small-group discussions to help participants develop their own experiments, and encourage participants to think of a specific question they would like to answer with an experiment.
